Why we want to impress others?

Question

Even Animals

Answer 1

People try to impress others so that they can get impressed by themselves.
Its just a gap that people wanna fill.
When we try to impress others our Ego gets satisfied then we can sleep peacefully.
That I am important to so many people and my life is valuable and it goes on and on.
If we stop impressing others what is there to live for.
For what we have to do a job. For what we have to dress properly. For what we need modern things if not for this Gap filling.
If people don't have this habit they will be blank and they don't know what to do.
So impressing others is one type of mental sickness.
In vain expectation we think we will get some happiness from outside and try to impress others.
That's why if we closely observe we can see that any relation ship will be beautiful in the beginning cause both sides will try to impress others.
But once they know this is what others can give they stop impressing them and then the problems start.

Trying to Impress others is nothing but utter selfishness in expecting something in return.
If we don't want anyreturn then noneed to even express our love to others.
Life is full of expectations and to fullfill the gap of satisfaction we run from well to well like a mad being.
Until we find the ocean of Love called as GOD in many nations this running will not stop.
Then and then alone a man can stop impressing others and start loving genuinely.
Then neither we try to impress nor we will be impressed by others.

God Bless you.

Answer 2

I think that it's human nature to want people to like us. People weren't meant to live alone with out friends or a social network. If we can impress others we're more likely to develop friendships and there for are less likely to be alone. I think that it goes back to when we were also looking for a mate solely based on who could take care of us best and for men who would be more likely to bear his children. Impressions were very important than, there wasn't much else to go on. You didn't have someones education to evaluate or how much money they had all you had was physical attraction and whether or not someone was a good provider.

Answer 3

We wanted to impress others because we want to prove to them that we are more worthy enough as just what he thinks. Impression manifests positive thoughts to a person. It does sometimes lasts as the first impression was firstly made by
another person.

Sometimes we impress others to draw attention and importance. It could also be attributed to gain the love of a person. Others use this as a driving force to be promoted in their work. To be given due recognition and acknowledgment to oneself are also evident in impressing other people.

Good question.

Answer 4

Life is to live with joy and happiness. How we impress others with our behavior, character and politeness is very important to make our life enjoyable in society. We can never be happy with either friends, companions, or even close relatives unless we create a good impression with our good behavior and attitude.
To create a good impression we have to be truly good, Acting or posing that we are good will only serve for shorter period.
We are part of the society and we have to take part in its activities whether it is in a school, college, or work place or any social gathering and good impression about us keeps our heads in high esteem. There is lot of enjoyment in impressing others and also getting impressed which are the foundation stones for a true friendship and relationship in life. Without friendship and relationship, life is "blank" irrespective of our social status or wealth.

Answer 5

Karma concept: self consciousness, consciousness of self's existence, is the basis for social consciousness. The Will is positive, the Judgment is negative, and it is the Wills nature to impress positively on others of consciousness, but if the impressing is according with the Judgment, the negative function in consciousness, then the impressing is according to an idealism for which the other is a negative but necessary part, its necessity according to the ideality in the individual and his or her motivational differences and does not accept the thing or person in its self as its self for its self. Only in group or social fidelity may there be an exception, but even there the exception may not exist in reality.

Answer 6

Not everyone wants to impress others. There are some (like myself lol) who realise that the key to empowering ourselves is to look at the world with our own perception rather than worry about the world's perception of us.

For those that do wish to impress others, it is part of human nature to feel good and to feel respected and thus that explains their desire to impress. These people are of the persuasion that perception is reality hence what others think of them does matter.

Answer 7

We all want approval of some sort. Even the most confident of humans require approval from someone. We want to be noticed so that we can justify being here. Attraction in another reason to need to impress others.

Answer 8

I think you also must know that some people are sincere and practise their religions for themselves and to God alone; while others due to their personal traits, like to be better than everyone. They then use religion as a platform for this in moral living, but the real issue is themselves that they are always looking outside to feel better about themselves. Even some non-religious people suffer from this and it can be seen by the way they place themselves higher than other based on fashion, money, looks, academic and sports abilities.

Answer 10

I think that built in us is a need to be loved and accepted by others. Human nature is to have relationships and from that desire we try to impress others. We desire social interaction, and we try to impress others so they will see something in us that they like.
