does first impression define what a person really are?

Question

People often rely on first impression in making friend. They follow their perception relying on what the eys cath. Does it always right?Does perception defines what a person really are?

Answer 1

When you say perception do you mean appearence or their personality? We all know appearence doesnt usually define a person. Someone not so pretty could actually be a really good friend and all, or a really pretty person could be a total opposite to you and you hate them. So when you say perception you must mean how you percieve their actions in contrast to your own. Anyways i reackon that first impressions though thats what we all act on when we decide how to act towards a person , they are usually wrong. You can't actually tell how well you would like a person until you get to know who they really are.

So in short no first impressions are not always right, there are people ive met and hated but then actually gotten to know and become good friends with them. & though perception isnt always right, your instincts and intuition usually is so act on that instead ^_^

Hope some of that made sense im dead tired

Answer 2

I think it's true. People often rely on the first impression in making friends or other relations. That impression will remain or it will be replaced by something better or wurst. It depends on how open you are to understand the person next to you. In time that first perception will appear like a dream, if not a nightmare. Personally, I think it takes time to really get to know someone.

Answer 3

No! A lot of people are shy and don't even talk when they first meet you so what kind of impression would you have about somebody who never spoke to you? Some really nice people could have a bad day. There are a lot of scenarios that could make a person behave in a way that he/she doesn't usually. Don't rely on first impressions, good or bad. It's not fair to the person you're meeting and it's not fair to you.

Answer 4

No No No No
It takes a heck of a lot longer than 30 seconds to know someone.
Also, U only know of a person, what they are willing to share. Our perceptions of others is based on our own personal belief system in reguards to how we feel about ourselves anyway. If you think someone is ugly...does not mean they are....if you think someone is nice...does not mean they are....if you think someone is this or that....does not mean they are.....what we think of people is just an opinion. We have no right to judge each other....be yourself, let them be them. Take friendship slow, get to know people and choose your friends. Don't trust everyone, U will be dissapointed. Good Luck

Answer 5

Many people believe that first impression lasts. Yes, it's true. But first impression doesn't define who really is. Carefull observation of his attitude and characteristics for some period of time will help you know who really is...

Answer 6

no but sometimes things are destined to be. i feel that we are all bad and good. you make a friend and you see his light. you make an enemy and you see his dark. all people are friend and foe. when you realize this you can forgive others. but you will also see that people can only exist in one of these two ways. so if you presented yourself in a bad way or if you met someone who presented themselves badly, it is ok. it was just meant to be. there are lots more ppl in the world.

Answer 7

No, not always. I don't believe that you can always tell. An example would be if you just met someone who had just experienced some terrible grief in their life and was trying to keep it hidden...You could easily misinterpret that as disinterest in you.

Answer 8

No.That is how sociopaths are able to take advantage of their rubes...they BECOME the knight in shining armour that the victim was looking for...
