Does First Impression Last?

i am a hard person to get by once you have already rubbed me the wrong way. that's just me. it's hard for me to forget first impressions. take one of my sister's in law. she mad a very bad impression on everyone when my brother first took her in. now she is supposed to be all changed. i still can't forget the horrible ways she acted when she first came on his door step from off the street.

First impressions does have the impact. However I totally agree with you, the continuous display of evidence to further strengthen it is very important. Therefore, do dress up properly and bring along your confident when meeting someone new for the first time. It will have a great impact especially for job interview or meeting customer for the first time.

I believe that a first impression does last. it is usually the one thing that burns into out minds when we think of a specific person and how we felt about them. You only have one chance to make a first impression. It has to have alasting affect. You can change how someone feels and eacts to you but you can not change that first encounter with them.

First impression do lingers. Some are accurate some are not. I have first impressions that proves to be just first impressions. It depends and sometimes I'm just making a guess until I prove I'm wrong or indeed I'm right.

sometimes first impression last because it depends on the person on how she/he see other. :)

First impression is important,whether it will change with the time.First impression is good or not decides the communication in your coming days.So to me,I think the first impression may last at most circumstances.

First impressions do stick for a while, but only to you get to see and know the person after a long time, as peoples true colours then start to creep out. I feel that there are a lot of people out there that try not to show what they are really like.

it lasts for atleast some amount of time.for strangers it is the face and index of our soul and mind,so decide on it

I agree.. That's maybe true but not in all cases... When my boyfriend courted me, my first impression was not good, he looked like arrogant to me but He is not..He is really an opposite of my first first impression. Then I actually found out that my friends also found him arrogant on their first meeting and my friends told me told me about their first impression with my boyfriend. But we are all wrong.. funny..

Mostly, it lasts, because it is created in our minds for a reason. But I actually once had a wrong first impression... so I always tell myself that I should not 100% trust my first impressions.

I dont do that. As many times my first impressions of people have turned out to be wrong.

I don't believe that first impressions last. I know they are important and they are what people judge you by but when a person gets to know you it doesn't matter what your first impression was, if it wasn't what you are that person will soon get to know the real you.

It depends on the people whom you be with and had given you their first impression. There are bosses who seems to be scary at first sight or meeting but as you worked with her or him you just realized that they are not and in fact very approachable and employee-friendly. So that first impression on them did not last.

First impressions really have an impact to the views and belief of the people to your being even if they don't know the real you. My own experience for example, I used to grow up hanging out with boys that's why my attitude and the way I move is kind a boyish but I know in my self that I am a girl. People who don't know me well has the impressions that I am a lesbian which is not true. I hate that impression.

Yes, first impressions goes contribute to knowing who you are as a person. But as time passes, you will eventually get to know the person a little better and may change the first impressions you have. Like if your first impression of that certain woman is very strict, but as you get to know her. Maybe she's not that at all, it's just the impression she projects.

I do agree with you on that. A first impression last when we really do not have the opportunity to know the person well. Now, if we get to know the person up close for a long time, we may decipher the kind of personality that person has and if our first impression is really what he is.

To me it does. The first impression you make in the first seconds you meet someone and it turned out to me I was Always right. I only got myself in bigger trouble as I ignored my feelings/sense. Big trouble.

Hi, It is said that the first impression is the last impression. It is true many times. when we meet someone with well dressed and with rich clothing then he would think that we are rich. But we are not. we may have only one dress which is rich. After meeting again and again the person will come to know that we are not rich. thus truth always come out. We can not hide the truth. Fist impression does not last long.

Sometimes. Not all the time. But even if you have changed your impression on someone, there are moments that you'd refer to your first impression, but referring would mean allowing other people to give that person a chance or the benefit of the doubt.

Well, as a matter of fact neither good nor bad lasts forever. But first impression helps you build more good in future whereas a bad kind of crumples the chances. like in everything else good impressions vanish faster and bad ones last longer than you can imagine. So why take a chance, be good, do good, or at least keep people around you have that impression about you. :)
