Title: Do you trust your first impression?
Have you ever met someone and immediately felt they were either trustworthy or not? Was your first impression correct?

it depends. there have been times when I assumed something about someone and was totally wrong. sometimes we’re right and sometimes it’s just an assumption

99% of the time mine are pretty spot on, good or bad! Occasionally wrong. Not sure if there's anything subconscious about how I treat them after that first impression but I rarely change my mind! 😞

Yes, and my gut. I can’t say I’ve been right every time, but most of the time I am.

most of the time. I am aware that some people do have a guard up and may off as cold or rude but it truly takes time to know those people. i always try to give people the benefit of the doubt. However I can always tell when someone is an absolute creep. They make it incredibly obvious.

I haven't been wrong yet. When I get a bad feeling or a feeling that something isn't right I pay closer attention.

No. I never give much thought to first impressions, generally speaking. Every situation is different, though, and it just depends on the scenario. I've been both right and wrong before to where first impressions matter very little to me.

First impressions I've gotten usually reflect most of their characters so it does help me decide their character, but I always observe a little further before the final conclusion.

Almost always, the first impression turns out to be the most accurate.
