Shortsighted means not taking into account the long-term effects of your actions.

In British English, shortsighted can also mean nearsighted, meaning that your vision is blurry at a distance.

Is it true that people who are shortsighted can see objects up close better than people who have normal vision not far- or shortsighted?

Yes, we can see things much closer (depending on level of short-sightedness). I have found it to be to my advantage when painting details on small models, I can bring the model right up close to my eye and see it clearly when I flick up my glasses, and see it comfortably. If I am wearing glasses (or contact lenses), I cannot focus on the object so close, and it becomes uncomfortable. There is a scientific explanation for this that I once read, to do with the shape of the myopic eye.
