Some people have good first impressions, others have bad impressions and sometimes it matters on what type of people you meet. As life goes on we are bound to meet others, so your first impression is normally important especially to those who judge easily. What do you think people think about your first impression? In your opinion is your first impression good or do you have a certain plan whenever you meet someone? I once had a "friend" if you can call him that, he had a good first impression and was pretty cool and acted like a great friend. This just happened to be my first impression of him but as the year went by and he was about to leave for another country my impression of him began to change. This was because he began stealing stuff from me and my friends and leaving so we could never find him. This is yet one of the examples that you could find.

This thread strikes a chord with me, as I am one to rely on first impressions. I believe in first impressions, especially when you get those eerie, something isn't right here feelings. This does not mean that I will not give a person a second chance however, it only means that I will be much more careful in my dealings with that person until I feel that I can trust him or her. As for myself, I do not plan a first meeting or practice what I will say. I just go in with the intention of being myself. I am always afraid that I will fall short of their expectations the next time if I wasn't me. Staying true to oneself and making a good impression all the time is a hard thing to do, but it is a choice that I make to avoid a falling out or bad feelings later.

Yes I totally agree with you, first impressions are important to most people but some people rely on impressions to much something which is a fatal flaw in them. This would therefore lead on to much more problems as you get to know that person better. However people like you or me make sure that we are careful when meeting new people especially if their first impression isn't all that rite Thnx for posting I enjoyed your comment
