Your first impressions when you meet someone are always right

Firstly

, from my observation, people tend to hide away their true nature during the

first

encounters with strangers.

This

is possibly due to the feelings of doubts and insecurity associated with having to socialise with unfamiliar individuals. To illustrate, despite my usual free-spirited and light-headed

demeanor

(behavioral attributes) the way a person behaves toward other people

demeanour

, when I

first

got acquainted with my friends, I used to be very meticulous with my choice of words since at the beginning, I still kept my guards up with them. I believe, these polar social

behaviors

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviours

are common among members of society and

therefore

,

first

impressions do not always reflect one's characteristics and should not be treated as the guidelines to do so.

Secondly

, people are liable to make false judgments on one’s personality traits during their

first

meeting. The explanation for

this

statement, as cited in numerous psychological studies, is that people seem to remember negative, highly immoral actions more vividly than positive, moral ones as the former are often less typical and more spontaneous. From my personal experience,

for instance

, I always seem to associate people with their bad

behaviors

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

such

as littering or cursing more frequently than with meritorious ones

such

as helping out a stranger when needed. In

this

case, I strongly feel that if I decide to infer one’s attributes based on

such

biased feelings, I will always reach the wrong conclusion. All in all, I take the view that we should not rely on

first

impressions as they can be influenced by many factors.
