Beyond First Impressions

Hello, beautiful people! Welcome to my blog. It's a pleasure to have you in this space. Once again, welcome 🤗

When we are meeting people for the first time, I think it's normal for us to have a preconceived idea of how we want them to present themselves. Most times in our heads we have to envision how they should speak, dress, and walk; we even take note of their body language. Because of how focused we are on first impressions, sometimes this has made us make quick judgments about others based on their initial presentation.

For a long time, I was someone who, to a large extent, relied on first impressions. I believed that you could tell a person's true character from how they present themselves, so this made me make judgments based on limited information. However, growth and experience have taught me that first impressions can be misleading.

There are some of my friends that, before I got to know more about them, I relied on first impressions I had about them, but when I finally got close to them, I found out that my judgment about them was really wrong.

We human beings are complex and multifaceted, and it would seriously be unfair to judge someone based on just a single encounter. I have learned that to get to know who a person truly is requires time, effort, and patience. So it would be very important for us to look beyond the surface level and give people a chance to show their true selves.

Now, when I get to meet some people for the first time, I meet them with an open mind and a willingness to learn more about them beyond the first impression they make.

THANK YOU FOR READING TO THE END 🤗
