Why is it so important to get to know someone well before passing judgement? (Perhaps judgement isn't the proper term...) Hypothetically speaking, that would be great. I'd love to get to know all of you very well but who has that much time? First (or current, whatever) impressions are not completely useless and this impression can be based on interactions with yourself and others, whether they be in person or online. Someone's attitude with you will most likely be different from the attitude with another being as most of us, if not all, are guilty of being subjective.
It may be due to personality traits and differences that all this happens; I can't be too sure. However, to get to know someone, honesty and communication from both sides are key. |

First impression aren't fake, they're the first thing we think of when we see someone or something. How is that fake?
The trick is just finding that fine line between receiving first impressions and judging people, it's all about finding how much emphasis you put on the first impression. Put too much, and you're too dependent without finding out if they're different from your first impression. Put too little, and you may be caught off guard; it's always nice to at least have a general impression of things. |
