People are very easily influenced by first impressions because other people want everybody to like them. I honestly don't think that first impressions are as important because if someone doesn't like the real you then they shouldn't be around you. Many people invest all their time in getting people to like them through their first impressions. I knew one person that spent days and days at a time just trying to make them sound like an awesome person. After the first impression was over the person they were trying to impress go to know them and didn't like that person. It just went to show that first impressions are not as important as many people like to think. First impressions in my mind are just lies that we tell ourselves and other people to get them to like us. I honestly do not like unhonest people and whenever I am meeting someone I want to make sure that they see who I am. I don't like having a first impression unless it is a truthful first impression.
