Making a good first impression is incredibly important. The image we portray initially determines the type of person others think we are.

It can be tricky and sometimes it can be scary, but a good first impression sets the tone for the rest of the relationship, and it can be very difficult to recover from a bad impression.

Leaving a good first impression does not have to be as complicated as we make it seem.

But we can work on it by keeping in mind three points that matter in how we connect with others on a general basis.

Number one thing that needs to be established: Humanity

Establish your humanity.

People want to feel like there’s an actual person underneath the skin and all.

Them knowing that you have your opinions and your way of thinking and a personality and all.

That you are present and paying attention to what’s going on.

That you aren’t a crazy lunatic, an evil narcissist, or a heartless psychopath, even if you are.
