First impressions tell a lot about people. |
In our society, both men and women wonder their first impressions when they meet new people. They might think that first impression is significant and tells a lot about people. However, I firmly believe that by observing only first impression, I do not know a lot about people for following reasons. To begin with, first impression which is considered as important to some people causes misunderstanding about people. In other words, first impression does not tell crucial aspect of people. For example, I experienced above case in my university. When I firstly met one of my senior who has tough appearance, I thought that he must be tough guy and preferring to smoke. However, contrary to my expectation, he has a sensitive personality and is not smoker. In addition, those who are sensible people can anger if they are considered as having different impression with first. More importantly, it is established fact that initial expression change over time. Although some people who have consistency with first impression exist, most initial impression change in my experience. I think the reason why most people consider that initial impression is change is that they notice a lot about people by meeting in a long time. For instance, when I firstly met my girlfriend, I believe that she has typical womanly character. However, as flows the time we met, I notice that she is manly woman. Moreover, in these days, the divorce rate is increasing throughout a number of nations. The cause of this problem is that married couples do not expect the change of first impression. In summary, initial impression is not effective means because of it is change over time and sometime leads to misunderstanding about people. Meeting for a longtime is superior measures to estimate most aspects of person if you want to know about people. |
