Thats a yes and no answer!
Whether good or bad, a first impression always lasts,,,,yet it dosent mean that, that impression is that persons best or worst or the way they really are. In life there is always room to change or show their true colors,,,so dont be taking in by the first impression, all the time, just let it simmer in the back of your mind, til you know the person,,,, then judge
Hope this helped, Dave |

I think you have to look at your own experience to determine if your first impressions have been reliable or not. Personally, mine almost always are. |

No, the first 3 times I met my husband, I thought he was a complete jerk. Now we are getting ready to celebrate 11 years together. |

i think so
|
no its not
but once an impression has been set its kind of hard to change it |

Some of us can be misinformed and develop the wrong perception.
I think its best to leave some room and a little time to see a better view or opinion. |

Absolutely NOT! Some of my favorite people of all time made terrible first impressions. In fact ALL of them did. It's common for people to reinvent themselves. |

to me, yes!
It's either I like you or I don't...
if I do, I'd go through any lengths to make friends with you but If I don't, I don't really care...
sounds selfish but that's me. |

It all really depends on how drastic the person affected you upon first meeting. Like my boss, saw him as a pompous idiot, and that impression never changed because he did nothing to prove me wrong. |

yes, you may change your opinion about somebody but that first impression always stays with you |

No not at all. Sometimes you later learn you were completely wrong about someone. You just have to get a chance to learn it sometimes. |
|

|
definitely not. my best friend used to hate me after the first time she met me. |

It is not, first impressions are merely initial impressions. It can either be confirmed or be erased as you go along. |

Maybe it depends on how strong that first impression was and if it really reflected how the person acts after. Like if they did something that they never do that first time and you get to know them and find out they're not like that at all, it won't really last I guess. |

No. I have met people, thought they were selfish or unintelligent, then gotten to know them and found they were caring or smart.
But, that doesn't mean that you should try to make a good first impression. |

No, only for people you think is important. If it lasted for every stranger we meet we will all be in an asylum |

in some cases, they are. in rare ones, they aren't.
i trust my gut feelings as they are almost always right. whenever i meet people, weird, but i associate them with different colors, depending on what i see in them or what color is the most prevalent. these colors have meanings for me.
case in point: in college, there's this girl who is well-liked and popular but my best friend and i don't really like her. in her aura, the prevalent color is gray. a semester after, she tried committing suicide, much to our horror and her fairy-tale life burst at the seams, the truth anything but fairy tale-like.
this can be a good or bad thing because i get to be wary of people, of who i should trust and shouldn't. it can be unfair in a way, yes, as i seem to base it on my feelings but then my uncanny ability to gauge people through my instinct and through colors have saved me countless of times from people that i am better off unassociated with - like a guy my friends thought were perfect for me but later, after my insistence, he admitted that he's already married. phew!
ps: but i still try be politely civil and nice to everyone, despite my wariness of them. my only point is that once the person is in my "unwanted" list, i don't let myself get close to them, or them to me. |

No it's not. It's just first impression and to me it's just a cover. If I look deeper, I should find a treasure. |
