Are first impressions always lasting impressions? I must say I've met a couple of people who completely turned me off by our first encounter. After awhile, I begin to actually warm up to them and realize that I had the wrong impression.
I had to figure this out after they way I judged my very best friend. This person has been my best friend for a long time but, the first time we met I did not take to her. I now understand the reasons why I really disliked her. It was because I didn't understand her and I've grown to appreciate her personality.
When meeting someone for the first time being rude is not an option, also name calling and joking because it shows a sense of being comfortable and that's not always a good thing. I even get called rude. Nine times out of ten, people get the wrong idea about me. When we first meet, they tend to feel like I'm snobby and stuck up. But that’s never the case; I just try not to seem too comfortable. Plus, it part of my persona.

I agree first impressions are often wrong but you never want someone to mistake you for a person you're not. I TRY to be polite at all times because I want to get the same treatment. Sometimes people say I'm too nice but unless I'm approached in a negative way I'm cool. At the end of the day you're first impression may be your last so I try and make it a good one.
I agree with completely buts its awesome that your bestfriend is someone you miss judged and learned to love this blog rocks
