recent experience, followed by a discussion with a friend, made me think about the fact that although you put the time to really know a person, not the first impression is one thing to overlook. It does not matter if this is the first meeting, or even the first phone call or e-mail first. In addition, working as a PR consultant, I have had many discussions with the word "image", sometimes used incorrectly, sometimes abused or taken for granted. However, I have often thought about the importance of creating an image for ourselves, an image to display when dealing with others.
Want to know how I feel? I think, going to the essence of things, that each of us must absolutely be appreciated and loved for what it is. If we feel judged or excluded for one reason or another, then the other person is not meant to be your friend, or there is no place for her in our lives. Having a positive image is not to 'say to the "prissy" because everyone knows that nobody is perfect and no one has a perfect life. If we try to get people to the contrary, the risk of sounding hypocritical or put people at ease with our so-called "perfection." What I consider more important is the attitude we have toward others. The other does not want an "idol" in which to build a statue, or someone who can make you feel complexed or less, but simply a person with whom to feel good, easily communicate, and share the good things. For this, it is essential to have a very positive attitude and genuine. Do not forget to be yourself! Even if you're not just the "comic" of the group that shoots 10 jokes per hour, or the social being that does not lose any opportunity to organize a party, just be calm, friendly, optimistic. There is no room for aggression, arrogance, or to complain constantly. How to avoid behaviors, I would add also the rumor (especially if you've just met the person in front of you) or the jokes and offensive comments against certain categories people.
We know that we all have or have had our problems, big or small, our weaknesses, our disappointments - I've had it! But is not the fault of the whole world. And then, everything is solved! In addition, you are more tempted to admire a person who has overcome past problems and has found the strength to go forward, he wants you to believe that everything has always been since the day he was born! So, smile at people and life, and he will change everything!
