!!''Shithouse'' provides examples of:
* CompanionCube: Alex's toy stuffed dog acts as an [[ImaginaryFriend imaginary voice in his head]], talking to Alex through subtitled commentary, the [[DeadpanSnarker snarkier]] and more confident personification of his consciousness.
* DisappearedDad: Alex's father passed away before the events of the film.
* FriendlessBackground: Alex has had trouble making friends at university. He [[StepfordSmiler hides his loneliness]] from his mother over the phone, going as far as to make up a [[InventedIndividual friend]] and a [[GirlfriendInCanada girlfriend]].
* {{Foil}}: Alex and Maggie are to each other. Alex was raised in a close knit family and was dependent on them, thus feels lost at university without them as a safety net. Maggie never had that safety net as her family were more distant, she's used to being independent and thrives at university as a result.
* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: Maggie has a SugarAndIcePersonality, which leads to Alex getting mixed messages from her.
