I remember that my first rehearsal for my first play, a boy went up to me and said, "Hey, your sister pisses me off." I wanted to punch him in the face.

We're best friends now.

Could you guys make a video about avoiding procrastination?

All the friends I've made, I've made by walking up to random strangers and introducing myself, then going on to ask them questions out of the ordinary. Like, "If you were in a zombie apocalypse and needed to survive, what would you do if you had no ways of preparing beforehand?" or "How's the weather" when we're both already outside.

I agree first impression is Important if you meet someone new

[julianpesantes]

I always make bad first impressions so it can only go up from there

[simsrock]

I rarely ever make a good impression I have anxiety, bad posture and resting b*tch face people usually think I'm rude or conceited 😭. They may also think i'm uninterested and that's usually not the case 😢.

Zenddrex's patented BEST way to make a first impression:
1. Blind them with your bright smile. Then they can no longer judge you with their eyes.
2. Asphyxiate them with your genuine interest in them. This knocks out their expectations of you.
3. Now that they are no longer (self) conscious, you kill them with kindness.
4. If anyone witnesses you at any time during this process of making a good impression, repeat these steps on that witness to ensure no one gets the wrong idea.

I will definetly use this I am super scared Of meeting people so I need this

[sozl]

This ones obvious but I really hate people who talk badly about others. It really says a lot about themselves, and makes me feel like they're doing the same when I'm gone.

1. be enthusaistic show interest in person you meet
2. show respect ( please, thank you) - waiter, CEO, janitor
3.Be open to new ideas : let them know your willing to do. some new with them
4 Be Postiive : in the good and bad
5. Realize its not all bout you
6. Try to avoid bad days : let them know your meetings with them are important thus you want to bring your best
7. Body language : good posture, eye contact and lean forward to show interest

Most of the points in this video are not for a first impression (first 7 seconds) but rather for a first "meeting". I mean, how can you be open to someone in the first 7 seconds where a conversation starts by saluting each other? It doesn't make any sense to me, sorry 🤔

Is no one going to talk about how they’re shaking hands in a weird way

[AngeTange]

Those tips were really helpful, thank you for this video!
One additional thing I do is asking questions. If I am in a conversation, and I don't quite understand something my conversation partner has said, I will ask if they could either repeat it or explain it with other words. I really love having deep conversations with others, but sometimes they just jump from one thought to another and I might have issues following them. And instead of just blindly nodding and agreeing, it's a lot safer to ask one more time. It also makes a good impression, since questions show that somebody is genuinely interested in your thoughts and views.
(This might also balance out my huge issues with eye-contact, because thanks to the questions people know that I am still listening to them)

[CaptainSoftboy]

I'm so glad I'm already putting these things into practice at work. I definitely feel like I've gotten better at giving a good first impression. The part about passion is definitely me. I sometimes feel myself holding back, but I'm working on letting myself express my excitement. X'D

[joeycole]
