QC Community Weekly Contest #146 – first impressions, are they really important?

Hello amazing people of Hive! 👋
I hope you're all doing well. I'm excited to share my thoughts on this week’s interesting topic: First Impressions.

First impressions are the initial thoughts or judgments we form about someone when we meet them for the very first time. Often, these judgments are based on what we see—their dressing, body language, facial expressions, or even the first few words they say. But here's the truth: our assumptions aren’t always correct.

For example, someone dressed in revealing clothes might quickly be labeled as irresponsible, while another in a long gown with their hair and ears covered might be seen as deeply religious. Sometimes the person that we assumed to be irresponsible might be the one with good attitude while the other person is an hypocrite.

What is the first thing you notice about someone when you meet them?

For me, behavior says it all. The way a person approaches or responds to me—whether politely, rudely, or warmly—leaves a strong impression. I believe the Bible when it says, “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” Our words and actions usually reveal what lies within us. Whether at work, church, or school, I pay attention to how people treat others the first time I meet them. That's what speaks loudest to me, not their looks.

Does your first impression affect how you interact with them?

Not really. I try not to let it determine how I relate with them. While first impressions are helpful, I don’t let them define my final opinion. I remain open-minded, allowing time and further interaction to confirm or change my initial thoughts. After all, I’m human—I could be wrong or right.

Does your opinion change after you get to know them better?

Yes, absolutely! My opinion is flexible. While my initial thoughts sometimes turn out to be right, there have been times when I was completely wrong. That’s why I give people the chance to show who they really are over time. I don’t believe in locking anyone into my first impression of them.

Final Thoughts:

First impressions are important, but they shouldn’t be the final verdict. People are complex, and a single moment doesn’t define them. Let’s learn to look deeper and give each other the grace of time and understanding.

Thanks for stopping by! 💕💕
See you in my next blog.

First impressions are most times misleading and shouldn't always as a matter of fact be conclusive.

Wowww, truly amazing post for real you just said what is the truth facts about everything. Yes people or human beings are not easy to understand within a day that's why we should give them more time to express themselves and there is people who are faking when they are close to you but in their closest place they are real demoms actually. I never said i am perfect at all but it's all by the grace of God I am who I am and I know He will make me much better than who I am now 🙏. Salute to you for this lovely post or blog it really made me understand alot you're are doing great 😁👏👏

First impressions are important, but they shouldn’t be the final verdict. People are complex, and a single moment doesn’t define them.

This is a really good point. Sometimes we cling to a single moment in a person's history and base all our interactions with them on that. And that can affect us even if we cling to good memories and don't see that the person isn't actually as good as they seemed at the time.

Mostly first impression doesn't speak the truth about that person that is why we shouldn'touldn't conclude until we know the true character of the person.

Really our first assumptions about people may not actually be who they actually are. It's very much better we exercise patience, wait and learn who people are before conclusions.
