Being called high maintenance can be a unique type of dig at one\u2019s personality.\u00a0 But what does it really mean? To understand whether a person is viewed as \u201chigh\u201d or \u201clow\u201d maintenance, you need to look at the following three areas:\u00a0\u00a0Physicality<\/strong>,\u00a0Emotions<\/strong>, and\u00a0Finances<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Relationship experts describe a \u201clow\u201d maintenance person as one who seeks the bare essentials in life.\u00a0 Whereas a \u201chigh\u201d maintenance person will seek to put in extra time to pull a look together or discover the latest hotspots.<\/p>\n

Here a few of the signs you can tell is you fall into the category of a \u201chigh\u201d or \u201clow\u201d maintenance person:<\/h2>\n

    \n
  • Does it take you longer than 20 minutes to get dressed for an event?<\/li>\n
  • Do you prefer a fashionista or minimalist style?<\/li>\n
  • How often do you need to get your hair and nails professionally done?<\/li>\n
  • Do you avoid getting into the water in the summer for fear of ruining your hair and makeup?<\/li>\n

  • Must you always dress for the location and the event?<\/li>\n
  • Do special events require multiple wardrobe changes?<\/li>\n
  • Do dry cleaners, cobblers, seamstresses, trainers, and beauticians and merchants all know you on a first name basis because you see them at least once a week?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
