unintentionally,people have different impression on me.they think of me as arrogant or snobbish.i don't know why they think of me that way.that's why when people get to know me on a personal basis always say that their first impression on me is entirely opposite.do you also find yourself this way?or are other people's impression on you correct?

I think people would see you from the way you act. You might never realize that there is something happened unconsciously like your subconscious reaction when you heard something unpleasant for you, or encountering something you don't really like. I think it is something that was really dangerous since you don't know it. People make such impression from what they see from us, they interpret our gesture and mimics, they interpret our intonation and punctuation when we are talking. Yes, sometimes it is not what we meant, but such impression comes from people who doesn't know us that well. I think, making first impression is quite tricky. Some people who are great at making first impression is dangerous since they were always be able to deceive people, however first impression affected someone so greatly so that it usually the most remembered by people, and believed as something true for some people. I don't think people would make correct impression towards me if they don't know me that well. Even my partner still got wrong impression about me sometimes. They thought I am a very diligent person, doing things with heart, no I don't. I am a very lazy people and only do something I want to do, and stop when I got bored.

It is true what you have said. The important thing is being yourself. You are who you are, doing what you want and being yourself is the great luxury not everyone in this world have. Trust me. In some culture, being yourself is only something you would be able to do only when you are alone. In my country, the society take the biggest part of human's life. They're no longer individual, but they are a part of society. Instead of being themselves, they tried to suit themselves with people around them, and become someone the society wants them to be. I think you are so lucky to be able to live in such culture, which support you to be yourself.

i too have the same problem but in opposite ways people think im silent but after they speak to me they will say that the impression is wrong because the first impression will come from your face seeing your face will give others a lot to speak about your charater so always smile when you see others and be happy with others. Thanks for raising this discussion and allowing to respond to this discssion and keeping this discussion active

Absolutely, first impressions are almost always proven wrong when people take the time to talk and get to know a person. I've been told that people thought I was meek and shy... that couldn't be farther from the truth! LOL
