First impressions

Hello missybear. I think judgment depends on the situation and the setting. Sometime the person acts like a jerk so you figure he or she is a jerk and you don't want to be around them any more to learn if they are any different. I try to go by actions and not how they dress or how they wear their hair. I do tend to be very open minded when meeting new people.

hi dear missybear, no I dont judge people the minute I meet them, any more. Reason is that people who seemed to be nice and easy to get along with from this first impression in fact were these who made my life miserable or misused my trust later on and others I didnt care for so much when meeting first time were the ones who were nice and helpful becoming close friends later on.

I think that I react more to the feelings or vibes I get from someone more than what they present me with the first time. These, of course, can be misread too though sometimes. It is natural to kind of take what we can from that first impressions but I do try not to let them guide me too much. Those vibes though..I don't usually ignore those. It has been a mistake to do so in the past.

I usually do trust my first impressions I have a pretty good intuition about people there have been times when someone I meet comes off wrong and something tells me to give them another chance and that has always turned out well

Just like you my friend, i would always be taken by first impressions. But then, when that first impression is not good , i always make a room for something positive about the person to come out. It's a bad way, but i can't help it.

hi, i could say that i am also faster to judge people but not always because i know its bad,though i still did sometimes,there are times in my life that i looked at first impression or my impression to a person even i still didn't know him/her yet.

Not since somebody i didn't like on the first impression turned out to be a really great guy and a good friend.

I don't go by first impressions at all & I majored in forensic psychology when I was in college... We were taught to always look for things that aren't obvious... There are times when I feel funny about a person & turns out to be a very nice & decent person... Most of the time, I can tell about a person with in first 5 minutes of having a conversation & by observing them... But then a person could be having a bad day... Person could've just lost someone... There are so many variations to judge someone simply by looking at them for the first time...

Usually the first impression, is the heart. The next impression was mixed with the assessment according to reason. I always have a first impression. Maybe 50:50 is right or wrong.

First impression is okay to judge, but it is not always true. We are capable of misjudging in first meet. Once you know more of a person then the first impression that you had about him or her might change. So always do a second check. it is good. have a good day.

I do recognize that first impressions are important but I do not judge right away Especially in an informal setting.

Yes i go by first impressions about 80% of the time, and like you i am usually right. Sometimes I am stuck with the person whether i like them or not, in that case i try to end the relationship as quickly as possible. It is very hard to do in the case of an in-law, many times if that is the case it seems you are just stuck with them, and so to keep the peace you just hide your feelings toward the person. The thing we have to do is not to make snap judgments, give every thing a chance to fit in. Then if your first impression is right you can taker action
