Those who believe that first impressions are always right argue that people's initial reactions are based on their instincts and intuition. In this essay, I will explain why I believe that. While some individuals believe that these first impressions are always accurate, others are more sceptical about this idea. In the modern world, people often form their opinions about others based on their initial meeting.
To conclude, although there are instances where first impressions matter, and needed to be taken into account, I strongly believe that it is always prudent to get to know a person better before jumping to a conclusion. The initial impression not only includes the way of dressing, but also the way a person speaks and carries himself. Recruiters are specifically trained to sort potential employees based on the first impression. On the contrary, in some instances, for instance, a job interview, first impressions are of foremost importance. People who form their perceptions on the basis of fleeting outer appearances are often mistaken. In addition, outer appearances change and evolve but the inner personality remains almost the same. However, if someone makes an effort to know the person and the reason behind being a recluse in the party, the former judgment is entirely reversed. Judging by first impressions, that person can be easily labelled as arrogant and unfriendly. If someone, for example, does not initiate a conversation and does not smile at a party where it is required to mingle, it could be because the person is ill or have some sort of personal crisis going on. There can be a variety of underlying factors and reasons for which the person might behave in a particular way. To begin with, I believe that first impressions give just a glimpse of somebody’s character. I believe that first impression is important to some extent however, my support is in the favour of knowing the person better instead of establishing judgments just on looks and dress-up as I support the more holistic way of getting to know people. Two lines of thought exist when it comes to the significance of first impressions, and for many, they form the basis for judging a person’s personality and background. No doubt a great deal about someone could be learned from the first encounter, but this is not always right, at least not in my experience. To conclude, people are one of the greatest mysteries in the world and judging someone at the first meeting is kind of irrational. I believe we can learn many things about a person only when we spend time with the person, and can understand their true colour when we observe them closely. In this regard, I would not agree with the view that my initial impressions about someone are always right. Only a long-term observation can express their true nature and intention. Moreover, people try to behave modestly, act friendly, show compassion and exhibit their positive sides when they meet someone for the first time. But this is not valid for everyone as I have observed exceptions. For instance, my experience has taught me that people who become friends very quickly are less serious about a long-term friendship though they give an opposite impression on their first meeting. This is often the true reflection of a person's character. We can judge him or her from the way he dresses, speaks, starts a conversation and expresses his or her views. To begin with, first impressions often reflect a great deal of information about a person, especially if we meet this person all of a sudden. This essay discusses why first impressions may often be deceptive and less important in judging someone. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.įirst impressions, without a doubt, have great importance, but they do not always reveal the true characteristics of a person, and I believe that first impressions are not always accurate.
