If yes, explain why it has same over the period of time and what factors have contributed in order to make this impression constant or unchanged.

Answer 1

I have a friend that I have known for a few years. My impressions of him have changed a lot since the day we met until today.

When we first met, I had the impression that he was an unfriendly and unfriendly person. He really gave that impression, but in fact he was a very shy, reserved and introverted person. Over time, I had the opportunity to get to know him better and understand his behavior.

He has also changed a lot over the years and is now a very fun and spontaneous person. However, I would never have known that if I had not allowed myself to talk and understand the way he acted with people who were not close to him.
