First Impression

"First impression is your last impression" is a popular saying that implies that people can form an almost indelible opinion about someone during their first encounter, and it can be difficult to change that impression. In other words, how you present yourself in the beginning has a significant impact on how people perceive you, and it's hard to change that perception once it's been established.

Someone's first impression of you is made up of various factors such as your appearance, tone of voice, body language, and behavior. For instance, if you meet someone while looking disheveled or unfriendly, they may form a negative impression of you. Conversely, if you're approachable, confident, and professionally present yourself, people may have a positive image of you.

The phrase is often used to emphasize the importance of making a good first impression, especially in social or professional settings where you're meeting new people, attending job interviews, or trying to establish business relationships. Therefore, it's essential to put your best foot forward, be attentive, and show interest in the people you're interacting with to make a favorable first impression that may help improve your relationships as well.
