Judge and jury...first impressions

beingmore1

You know you do it. I know you do it. Everyone knows you do it. We all know that you look at somebody and get a first impression. Have you ever judged someone on that first impression? Unless you are super human, I bet you have. Have there been times when you were judge and jury and dismissed someone for whatever reason based on first impressions?

And yes, we all know that you judge a person once you get to know them and discover that they are made of unicorns and rainbows. So let's get real. When did you judge someone? What was the verdict? Did your opinion change upon further personality investigation? Or was this just a first glance, never get to know them permanent judgement?

I notice when people look like they're on drugs. Mainly cause I wonder what drug they're on

My partner admitted to me the other day his first impression of me was "beneficiary" because of what I was wearing (I thought I looked casual hot).

I notice facial and neck tattoos. I always wonder besides a tattoo parlor they are not getting a decent job. I know I would not hire them if they were in a position of dealing with my clients.

I might notice things but I don't judge based on looks. I guess I must be "super human".

I judge everyone. Nothing personal, just for my own amusement. Like watching a movie.

Oh I judge people too, just not based on how they look, more on what they say and how they act.

You must be! No first impressions for you? If a strange man in grubby clothes knocks on your car window you won't hesitate to open your car door?

I don't care how's he's dressed, I'm not opening the car door to any strange man, even if he's wearing a suit.

The other day I saw a Pan handler holding a sign by the stop sign. A woman (nicely dressed) was handing him a bag of groceries then hugged him . My first impression was to feel bad for the pan handler, wonder about his situation, and I assumed the lady was probably a really good person, maybe wealthy based on her fancy outfit. First impressions.

There was this guy standing outside the grocery store. I go to a few different grocery stores. I assumed he was homeless because of the way he looked. I figured because I was about to buy myself some groceries, I would throw some things in my cart for him. So I asked him if he was hungry. He said, "No. I'm just waiting for my wife." And here she comes walking up. And there they go into the store together. And I'm like, "Oops. Dumb me." I thought that was a hungry homeless guy, because of the way he looked.

I'm talking about first impressions. That can be more than just looks.

Well you did say "you look at somebody and get a first impression". Just because you get an impression doesn't mean you necessarily judge them. IDK...I could be wrong. *shrugs*

I judge everyone I come across as someone I might have to potentially kill. I look for their weaknesses. Wheelchair bound people have no chance, I've already worked that scenario out in my head a thousand times
