Within the first few seconds of meeting someone you've already subconsciously made about 10 judgements about that person. What facts do you have about this person? You instantly decide whether they're a bimbo, or a creep by their appearance. If someone looks like a weirdo then you're going to think that they are even if they may be the coolest person you'll ever meet. I think I always give the worst impressions. Whenever I think about first impressions I think back to my first day at Marsden.
It was probably one of the hardest things that I've ever done. I'm sure you've all done it before. It's incredibly unnerving. All of the girls in the room already had their friends they already had their little groups. So where was I going to fit in? I knew noone. I had noone to talk to. I just stood in the middle of the room looking from left to right and back again wondering where I was meant to be. It was traumatic. And I'm glad I'll never have to do that again. You see when I was standing in the middle of that room every single girl in that room was judging me. Because I wore glasses I was a geek. Because I wore a second hand blazer I was poor. Because I didn't have dyed hair I wasn't style conscious. Because, because, because. Every single detail of my appearance was being scrutinised. Then as soon as I opened my mouth many more judgements were being made. It takes mere seconds for people to make judgements about you. It takes months and years to dispel these judgement.
