As the saying goes " First impressions last". Some people always try to impress someone they just new. It's a way of saying, I am a good person, and I want to be your friend.
There are some people that are very good in getting you to trust them from the moment you meet. I admire some of them, but not all.
For me, I just try to be myself, I don't want to impress people and later on disappoint them when they see my true color.
Do you always try to impress someone you just met? Especially someone you like.

I do my utmost to just be myself. When I was in my teens though, I think like every other male, I would try and impress my peers and potential girlfriends. I think that was just hormones and nature taking its course. I learned the "hard way" that it didn't really work. Being myself seemed to produce more meaningful relationships.:-)


myLot reputation of 89/100. argie713 (520)   ranked 435 out of 24,570 in people  1 year ago

That's true. Being yourself always gets the best results. Some people doesn't realize this.

Nope I sure don't unless its for a job lol But in my personal life nope.... its take it or leave it with me. I made the mistake of doing stuff to make my husband love me and now its blowing up in my face. I cannot be who I am with him now and we are constantly having problems now. In Hindsight I see I should have done a few things differently.


myLot reputation of 89/100. argie713 (520)   ranked 435 out of 24,570 in people  1 year ago

True. The problem with not being yourself is that you cannot open up later. You have to keep some secrets and that would be not good.


myLot reputation of 89/100. truartiss (263)   ranked 4,582 out of 24,570 in people  1 year ago

Yeah it could get really stressful if your keeping secrets and the true will come out sooner or later anyway

I try to just be myself, but at the same time impress them with my good qualities. I like to come of as an interesting person, but at the same time I can be quite anti-social. So when I meet new people I try to hide that fact, and enhance my interesting or pleasant traits.


myLot reputation of 89/100. argie713 (520)   ranked 435 out of 24,570 in people  1 year ago

I think a lot of people will get impressed if you just be yourself.


SoCali2No (34)   ranked 12,430 out of 24,570 in people  1 year ago

I totally agree. I wouldn't say I'm antisocial, but I definately don't warm up to people right away. I like to sit back and observe until I feel comfortable enough to let my true personality shine. But, I've learned over the years that I just come off as stuck up or anti-social. So, I've gotten in the habit of being more vocal and inviting upfront lest I miss the opportunity to get to know someone for being hesitant. So, I'm still myself. I've just learned to observe and engage at the same time.

I think at one point of time. But not now. I want to be real myself. Talk and behave naturally.

It is no good to impress others. I don't think it will be better in the long run as the truth comes out eventually.


myLot reputation of 89/100. argie713 (520)   ranked 435 out of 24,570 in people  1 year ago

True. It is much better to impress them with what you really are.


myLot reputation of 89/100. truartiss (263)   ranked 4,582 out of 24,570 in people  1 year ago

Yeah if they don't like it than they're not for me to be friends with.

I agree with you. I don't really try to impress anyone by doing anything I wouldn't do on a regular basis. First impressions are the staying impression for me and if I meet someone who tries to hard to be something, that's usually not a good sign. a first impression should always be the true impression.


myLot reputation of 89/100. argie713 (520)   ranked 435 out of 24,570 in people  1 year ago

Right. You must show who you really are from the first time you have met.

Yeah I do believe in that phrase "your first impression is your last" specially for those you have just met and find them quite attractive.

Any ways I have been in such situtations a lot of times before, I have always tried to put the best foot forward. I mean I never tried to be what I am not but have always tried to put forward the best in me in the best way possible. Like no would like to seem their dumbest to those special attractive ones atleast. I won't try to annoy any one with a stupid kind of behaviour which people usually get into when they try to over exagarate what they are or if they try to just show off. I believe the best way to get noticed is to notice and learn.

I do notice people and so I always stay away from rowdy and hot tempered kind of people. There ain't any good impressing them, no matter how good they look, they ain't even good for long term friendship.

Any ways
Take Care
May GOD Bless YOU

When I first meet my Husband he used to say just be yourself which I would reply why would I want to be any other way? The problem with this was that while he was telling me to be just myself he forgot to be himself and it was not till a few years later that his true colors came out! He is one of those, do as I say but don't do as I do, sad but true.


myLot reputation of 89/100. argie713 (520)   ranked 435 out of 24,570 in people  1 year ago

True. Some people think its advantageous if someone gains their trust. Its better for them to know you than for you to know them.

i never try to impress anyone cause at my age i realy dont care what others think of me Im happy with myself!


myLot reputation of 90/100. drannhh (4432)   ranked 3,193 out of 24,570 in people  1 year ago

You have put your finger on it there! I think that when we were very young most of us were taught to be overly concerned with what other people might think of us, and as we matured the life skills we acquired increased our self-esteem. Again, I am impressed with the maturity of the many myLotters whose responses here indicate they are happy with who they are, and for the most part little concerned with trying to put on a false persona.


myLot reputation of 89/100. argie713 (520)   ranked 435 out of 24,570 in people  1 year ago

True. I think what's more important for us to do, other than impressing other people, is work hard to be happy.

You guys are nice. Losing our own self is like loosing in the forest with mist. one will be hard to get out of it. The mask is only suited in the stage not good for real life. I am what I am, no mater what others looked or talked about me. I just what I am!
