I tend to keep it in mind as I proceed with the relationship/friendship. My first impression has been correct far too many times to ignore, but I hate to go by it alone, just in case I'm wrong.
-
Most of the time ; I can trust my FIRST imnpression ; BUT then again .... First Impressions CAN be misleading ....
-
yes, I also trust that the following impessions will provide a more in depth view, and hold impersonations of said person as possibly false.
-
No. Many people find out I am transsexual and they think poorly of me. Some judge me harshly but all who write me and know me know I am a nice person. I am glad for AB as I have met many nice people here. But no, do not trust and first or second impression
-
No. It takes some interaction before I develop an opinion. I would give it some time before I can be sure of any person.
-
Very much so.
-
Not always.
-
Not usually; I like to get to know them.
-
Yes, always. I think it is just the intuition that leads me!
-
No, I would not trust my first impression of anybody now. I have had some really unpleasant experiences in the past. I have learned to be more discerning now.
-
Nope
-
No but I do keep it in reserve. I don't trust my tenth impression, either. I believe the Japanese philosophy: Everyone has 5 faces: The one you show the world; the one that you show your friends; the one that you show your family; the one that you show your spouse; and, the one that you don't show anyone.
-
No, but I find my first impression is usually accurate.
-
No...Not usually because I know from my own experiences with myself and with other people... They are usually on edge and nervous, over compensating or bragging to impress.
-
Never.
-
Yes, and it takes a really long time to change it.
-
sometimes i do i find that your first inpression of someone is more true because when they find out what you look for in a person as a friend or lover they try and change themselve to meet your need. than you dont see there true being.
-
I have little choice but to keep in mind my first impressions because they have been correct so often. But I rarely base my entire opinion of a person by just the first impression alone. I have been wrong too many times and that wouldn't be fair to do to someone.
-
Yes. I trust people to be honest - I see no point in being defensive. If it turns out I am wrong to trust then it is a disappointment but I see no reason to let their actions change how I meet anybody else.
-
Always :)
-
I do for most of the time. Using our impressions as guides can accurately predict how people are going to behave.
-
Yes
-
Sadly I don't, but usually it's right.
-
I instantly dislike someone that went to my rival high school.
-
I think this question is a tautology. If, at first, you don't trust your first impression of someone, then, truly, you simply are not being honest with yourself.
