Do you believe that first impressions....?
no, i dont think that the first impression is always the best. my friend was meeting her bf with me at the mall. well we were looking around and i had no clue who we were looking for. i poked her arm and said "i bet your with that one, arent you?" and a guy was just digging the most hoffific wedgie from his *** crack and she said "oh god, yes thats him, what is he...no... hes digging his ***!". it was funny. he is a nice guy, but really, that wasnt needed for a first impression.
What’s your first impression on Chinese character?
My first impression of Chinese characters as a Chinese kid?Seven was the legal age for a kid to start school in rural China, but when I reached seven, I was put off for another year because there weren't enough places. I felt so miserable. Different from other kids, I loved school and I was always looking forward to it.I even shed some tears. My parents laughed at me, “what's wrong with it? You can run wild and be naughty for another year.”As they are basically illiterate, they couldn't give me any help. So I decided to teach myself, with some old newspapers. It was People's Daily, I remember.I copied 人 and 个, the simplest characters I could find, onto the floor with a chalk pen, and I stared at them, and waited for a lightning strike to enlighten me of their meanings and pronunciations. Nothing happened. How very frustrating! Another character I remember from the period is 国. It looked so complicated that I felt quite proud to be able to write it, although it was beyond comprehension, too.That experience taught me one thing: If you want to learn anything, even the simplest, you have to go to school. So when I began school, I was so devoted to studies that my mother always called me a school fangirl. I learned fast and I was the top student for years. Everything was perfect except I had to be whipped from time to time for not doing homework.People would say poor kids love school because they know it's the only way to change their life, but I assure you it's out of pure love, little kids don't think that much.
What are your impressions on this character?
Z: Thank you. Truth is, I don't have a title for it yet, for now I'm just sticking to a working title. ^_^ As for reason, yes, I do have an explanation for why he's killing off her relatives is that well...he's not. It just so happens that the guy who led the army in the south, and the one who hired assassins to strike him down, is also his sister's cousin one generation removed and of course, being the guy that he is, the Duke kills him rather than let him pester him more in the future. He doesn't have her relatives specifically in his blacklist and is really just getting rid of people who are getting in his way, and it’s not like he holds any feelings for them. He doesn't hate them; but he definitely doesn’t love them either, and for that matter neither does his sister, who is engaged to marry a cousin of hers in order to strengthen her mother's family's position. (Let's just say the economics of power in this story is a little screwy) The guy who got killed might as well have bee

Do you often find your first impression of others to be wrong, or do you feel you are a good judge of character?
I think that even the most trained people in human behavior get it wrong. Judgment is a flawed process, there is no way around it. Consider this:Who YOU are right now is the product of your lifetime of thoughts about your experiences. That is a chaotic accumulation of very subjective perceptions, altering beliefs and subconscious processes. Now (moments later) you have changed, progressed to become someone even slightly different. It's ongoing and still chaotic. But an obviously large amount of fluctuation and details which are hard to wrap up in a conversation.When you meet someone new you are coming into contact with their same cluster of life events and perceptions. How could you possibly understand all of them in a few minutes? Could you be summed up in a few minutes? And if so, what effect would your mood at the time do towards altering your immediate behavior?First impressions are this mathematical equation. An impossible one to answer.
What was your first impression when you first saw your favourite comic book character?
I'm 13, and I first saw the Spider-Man movie with Tobey Maguire when I was 9. At that time, he was just a random superhero and I didn't care for him at all.I started collecting golden-age/silver-age comic books 2 years ago, and as of right now, I own about 400 Spider-Man comics out of the 1,000 comics I have bought.Spider-Man/Peter Parker is my absolute favorite character of all time. I can spend hours just sitting and reading some good ole Spidey comics.
How do you know if your first impression is accurate when meeting someone new?
I don't trust my initial impression. I have one for certain, but I give them room to change my mind. I'm always waiting for new information and I play the person's advocate. I try to generate numerous possibilities for their behavior. I've been the on the receiving end of a lot of shallow and quick judgments. I think that is the best way to learn how not to do it. It takes recognizing the psychology of the judgment toward yourself in order to understand how you do it to others or conversely, you can better understand why they do it if you see it clearly in yourself. When you repeatedly see the outcome of a judgment appear differently than the first impression, it should teach you to suspend it. I was in a confrontation at work in which a person said to me that they were a "superb judge of character." I asked them if they were ever wrong. They said "no, never." I told them if they were never wrong, they most likely weren't learning or honest with themselves, and should be trusted the least with character judgments and walked away.
How do I tell from the first impression of someone if they are a narcissist?
According to the free dictionary [1]narcisism is :1. Excessive preoccupation with or admiration of oneself. See Synonyms at conceit.2. A personality disorder characterized by an exaggerated sense of self-importance, need for admiration, and lack of empathy. Also called narcissistic personality disorder.3. Pleasure derived from contemplation or admiration of one's own body or self, considered in psychoanalytic theory to be a fixation on or a regression to an infantile stage of development.It is, to my mind quite easy to spot if you pay enough attention. (the most usual form of narcissism being the second point of the definition, i.e. a willing to impress people and to get their admiration)To that, you must have a conversation with the person.Speak about youself. If the next thing he says is a question about yourself, he may not be narcissistic, but if he says “yeah, me too, but….”, you have a first hint.Listen to him Does he try to impress you ? Does he tell all his achievements without you asking ? if yes, second hint.Analyse his behaviour.Does he have any interrest in what you’re saying ? Does he try to know more about youself ? If yes, he may not be narcissistic, but if not, he may be.Of course, having someone who speaks about himself doesn’t make him narcissistic, but if the only things he says are things about himself, you can be pretty sure that he has narcissistic trends.Everyone has a narcissistic side, but people don’t usually show this side on a first contact. Anyway, you can’t be 100% sure that someone is narcissistic on a first contact, but you can get clues. Be sure however that everyone you will meet will show you at least once a narcissistic attitude (see the three points above). But those who show you this everytime are sure narcissistic beings.PS : I defined the narcisstic being with he/his, it can of course be switched with she/her, feel free to make the change, women can be as narcissitic as men.Footnotes[1] narcissistic
What were your first impression of the Twilight series?
Before the films came out, I thought Edward was super awesome and Jacob sucked and was an annoying kid who just followed Bella around like a puppy. (I wasn't thinking straight!) But after I saw the films, my whole perspective changed and I thought Edward was an over-protective, paranoid boyfriend who stalked a teenage girl and that Jacob was better for Bella than Edward was. Honestly, since when did vampires SPARKLE?! The animation SUCKED (Edward jumping from the top of the waterfall in Breaking Dawn, with Bella on his back, was SO fake that I started laughing in the cinema.) I can guarantee that at least 3/4 of the viewers are young girls waiting for either Rob or Taylor to take off their shirts. -_- In my PERSONAL opinion, films destroy books and totally change them into something TERRIBLE. The producers can just sell a hell of a lot of merchandise to screaming young girls ("Quileute" temporary tattoos, key-rings ect.) Quite sad, really.
What are your opinions on these characters from Detective Conan?
Okay, so here's what I think of them. Some of my opinions have changed, though: Shinichi Kudo: He's an INCREDIBLE detective. Nothing else to say. Conan Edogawa: --------------------| |--------------------, but obviously cuter than Shinichi. Ran Mouri: I don't find her pretty or ugly, probably because of her (weird) hairstyle. She was such an idiot to deny her suspicions about Conan being Shinichi, but then it wouldn't have been a great story if she had found out. Kogoro Mouri: I really loved the part when he once actually found Conan cute
