3 Mistakes That Butcher First Impressions
You might be butchering your first impressions without even realizing it. Not cause you’re a self-absorbed jerk, but because a lot of the most well-intentioned advice you’ve received is incomplete. And if you don’t understand the fine points of when that advice applies and when it doesn’t you might miss out on hitting it off with your next close friend, business partner, or even boyfriend or girlfriend.
So I want to shed some light on 3 common first impressions mistakes I see that all stem from good advice gone wrong.
1) Thinking that harmony “getting along” and not causing waves is the most important thing
2) Avoiding disagreements and focusing only on commonalities
3) Thinking "fake it til you make it" applies beyond non-verbal communication

To make a good first impression, I suggest researching a little about the person you are going to meet. You could look them up on Twitter, LinkedIn or Steemit.
If the meeting is more informal or personal, the best way to make a first impression is to demonstrate a strong interest in the other person rather than talking... and remember their name.

When I went travelling I found that the last thing I was seeking was commonalities - being sincerely open and accepting to difference is a powerful tool. Commonalities offer us less in terms of new things to learn and discover. Some of the most fun people I've hung out with were people who I disagreed with on so many levels.
They are the real world anti-heroes. Often despicable, sometimes lovable yet always intriguing.
