IMPRESSIONS.

Of course, first impressions do matter. Most of us care how we come across to someone, even at a party, which is why we go over it in our heads afterwards worrying that we said something stupid.

Sometimes, people behave questionably because they can’t control their conduct or manners. That’s just how they are, and other people will be fine with it. We’re all different, and we never know how we’ll react to someone we meet. It depends on our age and the situation. A job might be put up with someone who is arrogant because they are very good at what they do. Whereas you might not want to date someone like that.

Some people might not care what anyone thinks about them and won’t make an effort. They’re being honest, but many people won’t find that to be attractive. In some cases, it is possible that someone doesn’t know any better how to behave—they might not have been taught the proper social behaviour for that particular situation.

Even before the first word is spoken, you can usually tell if someone is unkind, dishonest, or snobby or anything truly negative. It’s difficult to fake those things unless someone is a real narcissist. But most people can’t fake it. If you’re on a date and they are rude to a waiter, you know immediately that it’s unacceptable.

It’s best to be yourself and not try too hard when meeting someone. But you should behave appropriately for the occasion.. be it a job interview or a date or anything in-between.
