Many adults can make a first impression of a person, defining many of his characteristics (an exemplary profession, psychological traits). But objective accuracy is only in neutral situations. The image of the interlocutor, which is formed at the first acquaintance, is necessary for the communication to be properly constructed.
Consider the factors that affect the formation of the first impression:
- Appearance The stereotypical opinion of the interlocutor is affected by his appearance. Experiments of psychologists show that if a person wears a different suit, then the subjects of the group, in addition to seeing the previously noted features, also noted the qualities that the new costume imparted to the interlocutor.
- The Constitution of Man. The effect of the first impression varies depending on the physiognomic characteristics of the person. So a man of athletic build is perceived as energetic, bold. A thin person is associated with a nervous person. These indicators indicate that the first impression, often, is deceptive.
Close your eyes and imagine that you are coming down the escalator, and next to you is a strange man whom you would like to meet. Acquaintance can be different, but the main thing is how to make a first impression.
These tips will help you with this.
- Breathe deeply. If you are nervous, you are more likely to do something stupid. Relax before you conquer someone's attention.
- Give yourself to enjoyment. Discard the excessive gravity. It scares people away. A smile is the best way to put people to oneself.
- Touch. Your touch should radiate lightness. Do not frighten your companion aggressiveness.
- Do not slouch. Good posture is evidence of self-confidence.
Sometimes the formation of the first impression of a person plays an important role in business relations or even in building a personal life. Therefore, develop the habit of always looking well-groomed, love yourself and let your eyes shine with happiness.
