Kinda, yeah, but usually I’ll give someone a few chances so I can figure out who they are.

I put my worst foot forward first. That way, I can only get better and it weeds out the selfish, the entitled, and the self centered who I know will not be worth my time in the long run.

If they like me now, they will love me later. 😁

Yes.

I work on a survey that produces a cost index. We weight everything initially, the first time we collect it. For subsequent quarters, we just update the costs, but we do not change the weights.

So we put all our weight on first impressions!

🤪

First impressions can set the tone for years to come

Depends.

If there is weight in the decisions I need to make about this person, I do have weight in my first impressions.
If there is no weight to my decisions, there is no weight in my first impression. I am a "Free to be you and me" kinda guy when it comes to acquaintanceship.

I think the first impression is something to take into count, future impressions will need to be made before you can figure someone out most of the time.
However ,if I see someone being extremely cruel I've already seen enough to know I don't want to see anymore.

Absolutely!

Mixed

But, if only it isn't an extreme impression
Really bad or really good
Because those are hard to navigate from

I do in a lot of instances, more at work than at play. Socially I give someone a fair amount of room before finalizing an opinion.

I have mixed emotions because I personally know I make horrible first impressions

I know people often before I meet them. I rarely am wrong.

I do, but I’m also mindful of reserving judgment.

for sure, you never get a second chance to make a first impression

Yes

Yes, unfortunately I do

I think they are important. It sets the tone for the rest of your interactions.
