Impression

The daily writing prompt asks – What’s the first impression you want to give people?

I hope that I appear friendly on first impression. I like meeting people.

Figuring out what impression I give is another matter. You will have to judge that for yourself.

Impressions can vary on a person’s day. Catching someone after a traumatic event or low on sleep might give you an entirely different impression than seeing them at a party or meeting them on the job.

I’m not one that is trying to impress people for the most part.

One of my favorite quotes I keep on my wall to the side of my desk.

There are two types of people – those who come into a room and say “Well, Here I am” and those who come in and say “Ah, there you are.” Frederick L Collins.

I’d like to think that I’m the one that says “Ah, there you are”

Pull up a stool

What’s the first impression you want to give people? – The Daily Writing prompt inquires.

I don’t think about much. I’m not trying to put off some impression. The days of trying to impress someone have long passed. I spent a lifetime making impressions on Newsprint for the masses.

I try to smile and look people in the eyes as I always have. I guess just open and friendly.

I get the impression I’m easy to talk to because people seem at ease approaching me and in conversation. Unless you’re a telemarketer.
