First impressions

    Can we trust fiist mpressions?

             

            In our lifestyle , we'll always hear a wealth of such cases as a man who has fallen into love with a woman at the primary sight, one of your friends who impresses your mother deeply on his first visit to your house then is treated exceptionally well by your hard-to-be-pleased mother, and even the applicant who attracts to the human resources manager immediately during the primary interview is definitely employed, to call just a couple of . All of the above-mentioned cases tell us that a lot of people within the world trust the primary impressions of an individual , his character, his conduct and his eloquence, etc., all of which he displays at their first meet. But is all that he displays, or all that you simply understand through what he displays correct, or it's just a blur image that must be proved in the later days?

Before we get the question to be treated, let's consider the foremost probable (not absolutely) results of the cases mentioned within the first paragraph:

The guy who has just experienced the above-said romance has got to say goodbye to his newly-met girlfriend because afterward he finds out that she isn't nearly as good as she looks; the friend of yours who has just won your hard-to-be-pleased mother's trust is criticized by your mother due to his great incoherency in his manners, and even the newly-employed employee is dismissed because he's not telling the reality in his resume. Till now, do you still think the first impressions are dependable?

 Psychologically, we've a really perfect image of an individual in our head, of course, which varies from one to a different due to individuals' specific experiences, education and family background, and his or her own opinion. When an individual who we meet confirms with the image in our head, we will, to an excellent extent, overestimate or maybe exaggerate his merits, while omit his shortcomings, maybe due to human nature and psychological reasons.

Thus we will ourselves cause the solution to the question above that the primary impressions of an individual are generally incorrect. In a word, to guage an individual needs time and therefore the first-sight impression is unreliable.
