First Impressions

What’s the first impression you want to give people?

daily writing prompt

This is a tough one. I don’t think I’ve ever considered it. I think maybe the first impression I want to give depends on the situation. If the first impression I get from someone is “good person” then the first impression I want to give is “good person”. If the first impression I get is “colossal douchebag” then the first impression I want to give is “I think you’re a colossal douchebag, go away”.

I suppose there are a few impressions I’d like to give off when first meeting someone new. Here’s a bit of a list of things.

• I am not a colossal douchebag
• I might be smart, but I am not sure. Hopefully I am smarter than I think I am
• If you are a decent person I will be your ally. If you are a fascist then go die in a fire or something
• I don’t care how you live your life or who you fall in love with or where you or your family come from. I only care that you are happy and content. Unless you are a fascist, in which case you can go eat a great big bag of VD encrusted dicks

Okay… maybe those things are a little too complicated to be first impressions. How about this:

I am nice, even though I am really shy and not very good socially.

Yeah… that’s probably it. That probably sums me up all right.
