Some people say that your first impressions when youo meet someone are always right. To what extent do you agree with this statement?

Judging

someone

’s personality by

first

impressions

has always been common in our society. I completely disagree with

this

unreasonably sustained assumption, as

people

must have time to deeply know each other.

Firstly

, it is possible to meet

someone

that has been going through their worst days in life, so actions and sense of humour are affected.

Also

, there are extremely shy individuals who need confidence to properly show themselves.

First

and foremost, the

first

impressions

transmitted by

someone

depending

Wrong verb form

depend

show examples

on how they are feeling at the meeting moment.

Further

, it is obvious that if a person has been going through problems or highly stressful situations, he or she would not be able to present themselves amicably.

For example

, research has shown that

first

impressions

among individuals that had contact with each other in a traffic jam are awful because it represents a stressful moment. To summarize,

people

do not show their true personality when they are under pressure, so time is needed to properly know

someone

else, especially when it comes to shyness.

Apart from

this

, being shy can

also

make a huge impact on

first

impressions

, since it hides the most interesting characteristics of

someone

. When meeting an individual

that is

not outgoing, patience is the key to building a relationship with confidence, so both would feel comfortable around each other. I remember the day I met my best friend, the shiest person I had ever known, we took the longest three months in my life to really get along.

Therefore

, sometimes it takes time and patience to understand others and

it is clear that

first

impressions

cannot define

someone

. In conclusion, stressful situations are the greatest cause of bad

first

impressions

.

Although

some

people

do not believe these situations are capable of changing how

someone

presents themselves, the evidence clearly shows the opposite, getting even worse among shy

people

.
