Wouldn't maladaptive actually be the most fitting choice here? Since they are responding to circumstances poorly?

shallow is a little deep or not thinking deep now in the question it is written that they give serious thoughts to trivial matters so it means that they are thinking seriously so I don't think shallow is the perfect fit. It would have been the answer if the question is like they are not giving serious thoughts to trivial as well as important matters.
I think it's unusual because it's the opposite of something one would expect or do usually.
