Is the first impression always the one that stays forever?

The first impression says it all. - people say. Do things really work so mechanically? You see a person for the first time, form an impression about he/she and no matter what happens, will you always remember their first version? I think totally different from this, because today I have friends who initially were completely different from my eyes / my impressions. I needed time to get to know them better and undo the previous impressions (especially the first one).

@WiseGhots I do not agree on the whole that a first impression of a person sticks with you forever. I have met people and may have not liked them on the first meeting but grew to like them. I have also met those that I liked and later did not like.

@WiseGhots I am confused by your answer so am asking do you agree with what I said and feel that first impressions stick with someone?

My first impression of the person that became my best friend that I have ever had in my life was absolutely horrible . I couldn't stand her at first. After we ended up working the night shift together (nursing home) we talked A LOT that night and I told her how I felt and why .After that we started to be friends . So I think first impressions aren't always right ..Some times they can be misunderstandings .

You are right and no it's not first impression, that's like judging a book by it's cover. You have to give people a chance.

It seems like when my house is in tip top shape, nobody is here to notice it. Then, the one time it is a mess, somebody shows up! I cannot win!

I think your opinion changes as you get to know someone better. Some are defensive when you first meet them or they might be shy or seem full of confidence when they're really not. It takes time to really know a person.

Many time first impressions don't mean much once you get to know somebody!!
