- NEW!
by Firebrand on December 15th, 2008
No, People usually think I am a lot calmer and more confident and maybe aloof than I am.
by Symbeline on December 17th, 2008
I usually don't stick around long enough to get to know much of what the hell anyone thinks. And even if I do, I usually don't care what their impressions are. I'm not here to put on a show, people will have to accept me how I am, or else they can move along.
by MsSmartAss on July 9th, 2010
I don't know how other people feel about me. My best friends boyfriend said I was cool so... I don't know. lol.
I don't try to judge things on first impression because it's the worst, but I always try to be decent to people because you never know who they are and what role they could play in your life.
by Discipline on December 30th, 2008
I don't think so.
by Sanguine Visions is wearing ninja garbs on December 28th, 2008
Not sure, on the outside I look like a normal person, on the inside I'm just twisted yet caring (Certain people only).
by Dr. Underground on December 28th, 2008
"No! because I'm obsessed with perfectionism!!"
by Go know thyself is THE RED QUEEN on December 27th, 2008
Well my first inclination would be to assume not, But that's probably because when it comes to me, I dont usually tend to give people enough credit.
Im probably more pegged than I like to believe I am. Even though my answer is still, No.
by TatorTator on December 27th, 2008
No, people usually think I'm a snob because I'm so quiet at first. I never know what to say to new people so I don't talk much unless they start talking to me.
by Stealth Intelligence on December 17th, 2008
Almost never.
by KayJ on December 17th, 2008
I've been told by several people that because I am so quiet they think I'm a snob. Until they get to know me. We have had several laughs over this one. But them telling me this has made me more aware that when I meet someone I need to come out of my shell and talk to them.
by Scrappy on December 16th, 2008
no. People meet me and assume that i am this emotional person who is depressed all the time and never smiles. Once they get to know the real me they will see a whole other side of me. I am just very shy when it comes to meeting new people.
by Bigessfour wears a Army COAT on December 15th, 2008
I think they have the impression that i am a drunk. I usually meet people at parties or the bar.
by Phrenia on July 9th, 2010
I honestly have no idea what impression people walk away with. It depends on many things how the conversation goes. (I have socially awkward days, and socially fine days.)
by Sharona Life is a Tale Told by an Idiot on November 5th, 2009
Absolutely 100 percent NEVER
by Emmi331 on November 5th, 2009
I doubt it - I'm always told how sweet I am. So I figure I fooled 'em again.
by Leeses Pieces is COATed in chocolate on January 3rd, 2009
NO, they usually think i'm "wierd".
But, they come around eventually, and are thankful for it (I make a lot of people laugh).
by -_You Can Leave Your Hat On....- on January 1st, 2009
i dont know what their first impression is?
by dumdum on January 1st, 2009
Yes, I am somewhat confused and that is often the way I leave them. You understand?
by Anno on January 1st, 2009
No, I dont think so. People think I am a loser. The fact is I am an awful loser.
by VOD on January 1st, 2009
apparently not. just got an inner office conflict resolved where a woman took compliments as disrespect. WTF?! Im just a nice guy trying to fit into a new work place- and figured being nice was a good way to do it. guess not.
by SumoAZ on January 1st, 2009
Probably 50/50 at first meeting but if we have time together, they get me eventually (and I, them).
by atomic ducky on January 1st, 2009
yes
by JustcallmeEve on January 1st, 2009
I have no idea, because no one has told me in recent years what impression they have of me.
Curse them! :)
by Jen-Jen on January 1st, 2009
Yes, most see past my eyes and into my soul.
by English Gal is back. on January 1st, 2009
No because i am very wary of people so can come across very offstandish but once i let them in im a very caring ,loving, loyal person who will be there for you through good times and bad.
by happiness on December 27th, 2008
In my country yes... but here in USA with English as second language, also I have an accent, at work..customers sometime just ignore me or hang up when I try to take a call from stranger. I think it's because those strangers thought that I'm dumb that I won't be able to provide them with good service.
by AnonymousGirl on December 27th, 2008
A lot of people think I think I'm better than everyone else, but I don't. I actually think everyone else is better than me.
by theworlswelivein on December 27th, 2008
No - usually the wrong one and it sucks.
by Stick it!! on December 27th, 2008
I think so, never gave it much thought. I'm just who I am
with everyone.
by SulkingWolf on December 27th, 2008
Not really, it takes time to fully understand my personailty. When you first meet me i seem more calm and better tempered then i really am.
by Salty Light on December 23rd, 2008
never.
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on December 17th, 2008
They never do.
by Marky Mark on December 17th, 2008
I think I look and act like a typical jock and people have told me that I should work on my first impression. When they get to know me they realise I am really not so bad at all. :-)*smiles sweetly*
by Larmes and the ... butterfly of hope .. on December 17th, 2008
Oh yes, I am an open book !!
by ENigma on December 16th, 2008
They should because I have no pretensions. What you see is what you get.
by vagasso on December 16th, 2008
Not at all, apparently I put off a 'tough' guy exterior, but I'm actually very kind and sensitive.
by Major Look at yerself on December 16th, 2008
I don't know how I would know that.
by DreAnna on December 15th, 2008
Not always..if people make an assumption without speaking with me first..then they usually have the wrong impression of who I am :)
by Rahbar on December 15th, 2008
Mostly not....
by jeanie16 on December 15th, 2008
it would be close to who I am, I do contain myself a bit when I first meet some one, most of my pals do say im very unique !! :), im a bit full on I guess........
by Ice man on December 15th, 2008
Good question, I'm not sure. I think so, because they either laugh or run !! :-)
by Kewl Guy - has gone 360 on December 15th, 2008
No, not really! I'm usually very quiet when people meet me for the first time - they think I'm a bit of a snob!
by HoneyBee on July 10th, 2010
It really depends on the setting and relationship.
There are different facets to my personality.
For the most part, I hope they come away with a positive impression.
But I don't pay much attention to what other's think or say about me.
by WABOO on July 9th, 2010
domineering
as accurate as anyone's guess.
by Bumking4 on July 9th, 2010
Awkwardness..... very silent awkwardness
by Mr.Troll_has_a_COAT! on December 4th, 2009
No. They usually think I am some kind of a jerk or a punk. But I'm really actuary cool.
by Coexist on November 12th, 2009
I wouldn't say so. I tend to be shy, so I'd be mistaken as unfriendly.
by sooz74 on November 12th, 2009
No. I am an introvert and believe in treating others with politeness and respect. People's 1st impression of me is usually that I am shy, nice, and innocent. Somewhat true, but I am nowhere near as innocent as people first suspect and my shyness disappears once I get to know a person. People are often quite shocked when they get a glimpse of the real me.
by Stranger in a Strange Land on November 12th, 2009
Never. Since I cannot understand the body language of others, I try to present a totally neutral aspect towards others. If that does not work, I try to mimic hostility. +2
by curlysue on November 12th, 2009
No, im shy with new people and people often assume im stuck up.
Is there any special way to create changes in me quickly i want to change but not able to ?

If someone holds your face over a deep frier, then stick their own hand in and tell you to worship them, are they saving you?
