Answer:
Well, honestly I don't think that first impressions matter that much because someone may come as shy, but they could be the complete opposite. I mean that's more common nowadays. And maybe some people act completely different when they first meet someone or are nervous (ex. Going on dates).
- I remember when I met my best friend and I rhought that he was uncool because everyone joked with him and made fun of. I didn't want to hang out with him and I thought that it was better to hang out with the "cool kids" and not with some "loser". But, we were in the same class and we also went to after-school activities so I had no chance to not see him. As time went buy, I started to like him more and more and saw that he was actually a pretty nice and fun person to be around. We gradually grew closer and closer, and now we are best friends (I mean he has his group of friends and I have mine, but that doesnt play a big role). Now with the pandemic around, we still are close and call each other at leat once a day.
I don't know if this makes a lot of sense, but what I'm trying to say that first impressions don't matter today as much as they did in the past and we don't have to judge people on the first impression they make. We have to dig deeper so we can actually find the real side they are hiding or are shy to portray.
