First impressions are formed within the first few seconds of meeting someone based on their appearance, mannerisms, and speech. Clothing, facial expressions, and how a person carries themselves can influence opinions without the person being fully understood. While first impressions may not be entirely fair or accurate, they are difficult to change and so it is important to be mindful of cues like dress, body language, and timeliness that shape early judgments of character.
