When we meet someone for the first time, we generally decide very quickly what kind of person we think they are and if we like them or not. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

It is generally debatable whether deciding a person’s good or bad image at the

first

in-person meeting is appropriate. I vehemently espouse that it is not suitable

due to

flaws in the outer look and under the pressure of a particular situation. Foremost, judging people by their expressions may cause inaccuracy in deciding the character of a person in the

first

encounter.

For instance

, research conducted by the Guardian Newspaper in March 2022 stated that 7 out of 10 individuals misinterpret strangers at initial meetings because they tried to elaborate their image from their facial expressions.

Consequently

, sometimes humans’ outer constraints like voice or unattentive nature, do not look highly attractive, but their true behaviour can vary in later stages.

Moreover

, not only does expressiveness contain body language but

also

normal dressing sense that can easily be misjudged.

Hence

, outdated clothes and odd expressions can hide an ingenuous personality.

Additionally

, forming opinions about others when they are entangled with some specific situations may lead to faulty decisions.

For example

, the World Psychological Organisation, published in its annual report in April 2020 revealed that 60% of boys struggled to show their confident selves on

first

dates since they felt nervous at that time and ultimately girls assumed that they were not a suitable match for them.

Furthermore

, in some circumstances, before the

first

in-person visit, family members or friends can fill up thoughts regarding a person in our mind and that presumption can

also

guide us towards the wrong side.

To conclude

, it is unequivocal that though it is a very common trend to form a quick judgement about others during initial interactions, it is obviously a misleading approach concerning the misconception of outer appearance and the distinct situation of that person.
