If someone made a bad first impression on you, do you think you'd ever give them a chance, or does your opinion usually stick?

I believe first impressions are just: impressions, and nothing more. Maybe they weren't having the best of the days, maybe I was the one giving off some weird energy, so I tend to believe there's always room for improvement.

Unless my gut is screaming something feels off. Then I stick to staying alert until proven otherwise.

Honestly, it depends. If the bad first impression came from someone being awkward or having an off day, I can get over that pretty easily tbh. I know people can be totally different once you actually get to know them. But sometimes you just meet someone and something feels off immediately. And most of the time, when I ignore that feeling, I end up regretting it later. So yeah, my opinion can stick if the vibe is bad enough.

Still, I’m not against changing my mind about people. I think everybody deserves the chance to show who they actually are. :]

I confess that I’m not a very intuitive person, so I don’t really pay that much attention. But, yes, I do get a little wary when I get a bad feeling about someone.

It depends on that first impression. Itrust my instincts a lot and usually lean on them, but if it’s something more superficial, I do think people deserve another chance.

I tend to give chances, but it also depends on the person. My instincts are not that good for this type of stuff, really, so I can't really trust myself in that matter. And I've never regretted giving these type of people a chance, so...
