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.
I try not to treat first impressions like final verdicts. People are complicated. Sometimes someone is nervous, guarded, exhausted, trying too hard, or just having the worst day possible when you meet them. I think reducing a person to a single moment is unfair… especially when I know I wouldn’t want my worst version of myself to become my permanent definition in someone else’s mind.
But intuition still matters to me. A bad impression can change with time. Bad energy usually just reveals itself more clearly the longer you stay around it. So yes, I’ll give people another chance if I feel there’s something genuine underneath the awkwardness or rough edges. But once my instincts start warning me consistently, I listen. I’ve learned peace is expensive, and not everyone deserves unlimited access to it.
