Hi guys, I will be using my friends as a case study—especially those I met while in school. Please, if you are seeing this, know that I’m only expressing my opinion based on a case study. Hopefully, I win the contest or at least get a good reward.
I remember meeting bolanle for the first time. She was nice, cool-headed, and someone with good English and pronunciation.
Bolanle's dressing was always nice and cool, which drew me closer. For most of my friends—Temmy, Daniel, Favour, and Esther—their dress sense, beauty, and composure are what pulled me toward them. Elisa and ronke have these special smiles that are out of this world. They send a message of security and acceptance.
Now, moving to bolanle again—I initially had the impression of someone calm and nice because of the way she speaks fluently and says things as they are. Looking directly into one’s eyes, she would boldly say whatever she wanted to. But while working with her, I noticed that she attaches little emotion or consideration to what is being said or done.
Not bad… just that she sometimes came off as mean. First impressions didn’t affect me, but her character did. Anyway, we are still close, but I kind of watch what I say to avoid responses that might make someone cry.
Another person is bisola. She had this negative vibe right from the beginning. To me, it felt like she didn’t want to stress herself. There was a day she posted about me, and I went viral for doing something wrong. That damaged my reputation and relationship with her.
Over the years, we’re still close, but I now know what she can and can’t do. For bisola, I had a negative opinion from the start, and it never changed. It did affect how I interacted with her.
Temmy—my special person—I can’t remember exactly how we met, but she was kind from the beginning and still is to this day. I can say anything, anyhow, and she’ll respond in a way that synchronizes with me. I call her “school mum.”
Talking about my teacher—she’s someone I like and cherish. My first impression was that he was mean. However, he turned out to be soft-hearted and willing to go the extra mile for one’s academic success.
Still, I have so much fear for him. Even though I think about him all the time, I prefer to remain quiet. That first impression stayed with me throughout my time with him, and at some point, I lost myself.
Negative first impressions leave a deep scar that’s hard to erase, even when later experiences are positive. First impressions might not be the best way to judge someone—but character always tells the real story.
Thanks for waiting by!
Exactly, people's actions will always show what they are really like and their intentions.
Also, one must understand that there are individual differences. This is the most thoughtful comment ever!. Thanks for making this post worth it.
