"I can appear aloof, but it is just shyness. ." This for me too. I’ve been told I come across as aloof but it’s because I’m that shy that I just won’t approach anyone to chat, because inside I’m cringing and thinking of an escape route, or wondering where the Bar is, or the toilet. I’m lovely really. Once you get past my social awkwardness | |||

I am still not sure how I stuck it out for 3 hours. Included in this was a lot of time looking at my feet | |||

"When you meet people for the first time what kind of impression do you think you leave them with? Do you come across how you want to? Or, do people just not get you?" I would hope they would leave having had a pleasant experience I would hope they would pick up on self assurance well mixed with deprecation, a humour, a warmth, a friendliness and an openness A wish to find out more would also be nice I'd hate to think I'd bored someone | |||

"I think I make a good first impression but I wouldn't say it's the real me - especially in a professional context." I would echo this - work me is very different to me me A former colleague who is now a great friend said I 'scared' her at interview, she thought I was really on point, focussed and professional, to the degree she didn't think she'd meet expectations if I offered her the job She was surprised how laissez-faire I actually was to work with / for once I saw she complimented the other staff and the business She was even more surprised when we became friends out of work | |||

"When you meet people for the first time what kind of impression do you think you leave them with? Do you come across how you want to? Or, do people just not get you?" Suppose it depends on the person/people but we seem to do pretty well at making and keeping friendships on and off the scene xx | |||

"When you meet people for the first time what kind of impression do you think you leave them with? Do you come across how you want to? Or, do people just not get you?" Can you control how you come across to people? Everyone has a whole history of influences behind them that will inform how they perceive you. I try to smile and he friendly and leave the rest up to them. Some get me, some don't. | |||

"When you meet people for the first time what kind of impression do you think you leave them with? Do you come across how you want to? Or, do people just not get you?" most don't get me tbh, I don't fit into any box because I don't even know where the box is. far too many to lists and some conflict with others from the outside view i.e gearhead (largely repairs & resto) VS environmentalist put it that way, it'd be worse than my usual essays | |||

"Have I read somewhere that first impressions are formed before you even open your mouth?" Yes you have, and it’s so true! That’s why I’m saying it’s not just up to us how we make the impression.... some people will instantly form opinions based on clothing, body language, skin colour, literally everything contributes and it’s impossible to please all. The amount of times by the end of the day someone has came to me and apologised saying ‘I thought you were going to be a typical jock geordie shore type but your nothing like that haha’ | |||
