Super G honestly I enjoy it when people tell long stories, it’s interesting
Mistreating someone should definitely make the list.
exactly!
@@SoumyaMehtalove Glad you agree.
That is obvious.
This list seems to cover the ones which may not seem significant but actually mean a lot....
@@pilosopher974 Yes. Agreed.
This is so true! Thanks for sharing that! Have you personally experience this before during a first meeting with someone?
"Things that ruin a first impression"
1. My social anxiety
Relatable, even if I don't know if I have it for sure
Same. Also I’m autistic and have ADHD and generalized anxiety disorder.
Autism and anxiety are a curse given by nature herself
1. My face
@Burnt Toast I relate to this too much
Title:exists
Me:memories are flooding back
Edit:where the hell are you guys coming from?
• Cloudii Cutie • dude same
I found a fellow ace! :o
Hope you have a nice day
Same....
same
Right?
''You avoid eye contact''
Alrighty then, next time I meet someone new I'll stare right at their souls.
Thats all it takes
Remember, no blinking
😂
#11 ....staring right at someones soul
Wear rapist glasses and practice the thousand-yard stare. Most people can't resist that. (Body odor helps, too.)
"You avoid eye contact"
Me with social anxiety: *sweating nervously* heheh
Oof same kiddo
Ah so true man, I don't know how people do it. And even more, with women!!!
That's exactly what I thought 😞
Maja J
Me with Asperger’s: *Haha, I’m in danger.*
yes :(
Like I'd ever make an impression lmao.
Not with that attitude
Too shy?

Thanks!
Maxine Moore Thank you! :o
Thank you! :)
I do alll of them ... destroyed!! 🤣😭
They do, I notice you have put them in other videos in this series and it helps me to refer to them by number when composing my thoughts, thankyou
I never judge people if they forget my name, I've done it multiple times myself, when interacting with many people it's totally normal to forget. It makes a strong impression when somebody remembers your name right off the bat though! Some people are lucky and can remember so much random information with little input!
I like this approach.
Even after I say it out loud, the memory is gone 5 seconds later
I don't think that it's luck that enables people to remember random info. They probably consistently train their memory
Listen. I found a metal band with about 120 songs and memorized every single name of the songs and all of the lyrics in a month. I can easily remember a single name
Phone Guy serioisLy for some people trying to remember things like names is like telling someone with two broken legs to just try harder and you can run a 4 min mile, casts and crutches are just an excuse!!!
No one :
P2g : literally making everyones quarantine 10000 times better
Thank you! We hope this video helped you in some way :)
Psych2Go of course !
Really, I never feel happy after listening to facts. U either are the happiest person or just getting u know
@@Psych2go No it's the truth !!! Because all of your videos are about social relationships but. Most of your fans are socially awkward :D in quarantine we know we don't have to be social :' )
You spelled house arrest wrong..... Quarantine is for the sick not the healthy....
When you see the title and you realize you screwed up....
*but then you realize you can use the information positively*
Me, questioning how I still have friends since I do about 80% of this list.
Cause people don't know how to communicate now in days so they don't know bad communication when they are faced with it until they get hurt. I hope you change after this video to be a better friend
What do you plan to do next after realizing this?
@@Psych2go I honestly do not know. I am already working on myself since a while now tho.
Me questioning why i dont have friends and do nothing on this list 😮
@@jonathanbarragan6256 Maybe you're scared away from making an impression at all. That's actually worse for you than making a bad impression sometimes in your honesty about yourself.
I've often made an impression, where someone isn't sure if they want to be nice or hit me... but we end up having a great time because I undermine "rules" like these. I go against the grain, and the people I meet realize they can be freed of social pressures, too. They get to relax and just be themselves, and in cases where our friendship might not be "a good fit", we can work toward "measured doses" of each other, or just move on... as needs be.
You should look toward making an impression, for better or worse. At least they take notice. ;o)
One that always throws me every time is when the person 'listens' only to reply. They have absolutely no intention of absorbing what you just said, especially if it's something serious. They wait for you to finish so they can steam roll the conversation the way they want to..'
Example:
Me : "-So that's why I'm afraid of dogs..."
Person : "Mmm. You know one time I met this dog and he was so cool, he-"
ughhhhh....
ohmygod i remember so many people 🙄
I have social anxiety so it’s hard to have a conversation with someone so I listen to key words and try to come up with a personal story.
Im guilty of this fersure, not because I don’t wanna pay attention but bc sometimes I get tired & zone out but I don’t wanna be rude so with what I was able to take in I reply with.
Ah these people.... I swear I'm filled with such people around me
I do this but usually it's when I'm not sure what to say or how to respond so I respond with a story or a thought I had during theirs. Maybe I should stop doing that.
“Like” is like my only vocabulary tbh
I know like I use the word like so like much.
Like, same
Omg! Why do I like relate to this like so much like frrr!
So, um, and awesome , are my overly used verbal fodder.
"Like is *like* my only vocabulary"
Yeah, i believe you
Me trying to have a good first impression: So, let's talk about pretzels
Dude Pretzel’s are delicious I can’t eat them anymore since I’m allergic to gluten and I miss them SO MUCH

I would literally be your friend if you said that to me i hate stupid regular small talk
@@charlee8534 same
First impressions are destroyed by the biases of the perceiver as much as how you actually behave, Infact sometimes more.
Great suggestions
Being rude and negative is another one that should be on the list.....
No shit, Sherlock!? (I now you like me now.)
The negative one especially, for me it’s really easy to notice people being depressingly negative. I have a pessimistic nature and diagnosed depression and I can still keep my head up around new people
@@nya4198 You sound like you're in control..😁
Good thing there are people who can see past first impressions, as this list is an impossible standard for me.
I always really like this narrator’s voice, it’s so soothing
Thank you so much
Me: Hello ther-
Real life: _You have failed!_
why does failed look like it's more italic than the rest
@ATS Gaming Because it’s in italic?
It looks like its in double italics lol
Lemme try

Hello there. You've found this comment in the sea of comments.
Here's a cake 🎂
Remember you are a great person and the world needs you. Even if you don't make a good first impression.
Hope you have a good day/night.

Me:(has anxiety)
Psych2Go: "make eye contact"
Me: *"Ha no"*
Anxiety army
Same 😥😂
shimeji help *SOME* people a *LITTLE* , I am a little embarrassed by it cause it does help me quite a *BIT*
*Rejoice!*
im with ya
I do forget names quite frequently, so gonna try to implement that advice
I can't look into people's eyes for too long. I can do that for about 10 seconds and then my eyes turn away by themselves automatically. When I try to keep the eyecontact, my eyes are watering .-.
same
saaaaame 😭
And those 10 seconds surely do be feeling much longer than 10 seconds 😭😭😭😭
My eyes are really watery in general and its super annoying. People say its cause my tears are overflowing cause i dont cry ever, but if they get watery all the time they should empty themselves out eventually. Others say its an infection, or "dry eyes" which you have to take eye drops for. Im thinking its dry eyes, but i suck with taking eye drops, or just putting anything on my eyes in general
I can´t multitask and talking and looking in the eyes are two things at the same time, so I can´t do it. I´m overstimulated and don´t know what the other person is talking about if I focus on eyecontact.
No eye contact, constantly looking at your phone, and constantly talking about yourself or shifting the conversation about you are the biggest impression killers for me.
I walked out on a date once because this girl and I met up at a restaurant and the entire time she was glued to her phone. I ordered my food and after a few minutes of this girl not giving me the time of day, I upped and left 😂
This is definitely gonna be a life saver in my future! Thank you!!!
I actually use almost all these impressions, I love to listen to others when they speak!
*This channel is absolutely ASTONISHING!* *Have an amazing day everyone!*
♡♡♡
"You use filler words"
Hah, I'm in danger
Hah, im like... uh... in um... y'know like uh... danger
me rushing really fast bc i feel like everyone hates me
Hey there I don't know u irl or anything but I just am here to tell u ur doing great ! Don't worry I know how it feels and wanna tell u it's never like this , take care !!
yoshi ro thank you sm take care too 😌✋🏽
Trust me, not everyone hates you. This mentality is soul sucking, and it took me a while to break it, but please try not to feel so down upon yourself. Try to find what makes you happy amidst the somberness. :)
I don’t know you but I can definitely relate. ❤️💯
same i feel like everyone around me hates me, i start questioning whats wrong w me 😳😔
Friend: finishes sentence and has a small pause
Me: opens mouth to speak
Friend: continues talking
Me: *internal oof*
*Y* *E* *S*
W H Y is this a thing?? This happens with friends and family !! It honestly makes me want to completely stop talking / conversing. It’s so painfully awkward
I am seeing some very depricating comments. To anyone who needs this, always remember:
Loving yourself is not narcissistic.
Confidence is not cocky.
Happiness is not selfish.
Removing yourself from toxic people is not heartless and cruel.
*You are going to be stuck with yourself for your whole life. Might as well learn to enjoy the company.*
I find I'm often in the best of company when I'm alone. ;o)
So god damn true man. I learned this to the fullest in my senior year, where I realized: who cares if I don't make friends here, and that I don't have common interests with almost anyone I talk to? As long as I'm happy with myself, I shouldn't care! :)
💯💯💯💯💯🖐

@@ifrahjama2215 :)
"First impression is unfair, because a first impression of somebody is guarded,and u dont know the person"
But in the sea of people you meet everyday, one has to have a way of quicksorting people. That is the point of first impressions..
People usually base their opinion about other people in a first impression because they don't care about them
The all people are equal bit is kinda true - I always talk to people as if they're my friends when in reality they're someone in authority or something
@@alexsilk5648 ya bro..
I agree. This is the reason I don't believe in "First impression" as us humans are very complex beings. It takes more time than to just get to know the person whole & sole. This first impression may give you a glimpse of that person's personality but it's just a "glimpse" You'll never know which person is good or bad if you just relied on this 1st impression thingy (sorry I'm too lazy to write "first" 😅).
Psych2go: releases this video
Me: memories flooding back
What memories? :O
@@Psych2go umm the mistakes I made in the past
Omg I literally made that mistake again 😂

Psych2Go: *You should make eye contact*
Me who struggles making eye contact even with my dad: 🥴
Kim Taehyung IKR my father says that I shouldn’t be shy in front of him-
F SOCIAL ANXIETY
Christa SAME, even while talking to him on the phone I’m always shy for no reason 👁👄👁
Tell me about it. I know a few girls from going to conventions and attending cosplay meetups, and....let's just say trying to maintain eye contact with them and if they're constantly smiling at me is an endurance test to see when I'll eventually break down and go "I haven't been treated like this in 20+ years!"
FRRRR😭😭
No matter what, I'll seem like a stupid person.
•A l a n B u n• xD
Nooooo dont say that... Everyone is perfect the way they are. Be confident about yourself. :D
Why do you say so?
@@Psych2go First day of school, I tried to make a good impression to make a friend and I immedietly said "Ya' like jazz?" Okay, now I realise I need to stop listening to memes-
@@vernicelka th-cam.com/video/H46FRRvb-9o/w-d-xo.html
4:37 honestly I think that’s really cute tho 👀 I like listening to people talk
i always end up forgetting how to communicate with humans on meeting one. _sigh._
Felt bruh
How come?
I feel you. It's always a challenge for meeting new people.
My ex-friends were annoyed because I didn't asked them anymore what's up in their life, but honestly, I had enough of their negative drama shit and they also were never really interested about my life, so...
human are mostly selfish.
Same... I don’t know what to say
@@Psych2go like how to talk without stuttering, how to not end up tripping and falling, and how to not show my disinterest even though i am super interested!
Good list! The key on a lot of the points is showing confidence when meeting people, without being selfish in how you are with them
Thank you! How many of these points do you agree with? :)
@@Psych2go Don't think I disagreed with any ;)
Practical inspiration: Nice, thoughtful comment. Thanks!
This video is incredibly insightful! It's important to understand the potential pitfalls of making a first impression. Thanks for sharing! 😊
True. You definitely don’t want to be misunderstood from the off (fewer things are more painful) but you can help yourself in that regard. Job-interviews are usually fine for people who otherwise make iffy first impressions because of social anxiety/awkwardness but when it comes to more intimate/personal social impressions body language can make or break it. It’s something pretty-much all of us have to learn to work on throughout our lives.
Thank you for making these videos! They really help me identify things with myself and I really appreciate that. :)
I’m too social awkward to even speak to new people
Lol, Hi!
Same and 💜💜
ikr- but then if you don't talk to them they just think that you hate them so they will hate you back, even if you're just nervous about socializing in general...
1. You show up late
2. You forgot their name
3. You use filler words
4. You interrupt people repeatedly
5. You avoid eye contact
6. You only talk about yourself
7. You answer your phone
8. You complain too much
9. You tell long stories
10. You dont ask questions
Great video! In this crazy and fast paced world which we live and work in, it's easy to get caught up with oneself. Will be putting into practice all of these wonderful tips!! I have been guilty of everyone of these on the list. I need to do better. Thanks for the upload. :)
Oh my god, thank you😖 Your videos are really good for general self-improvement.
Caring about yourself only and not about the other person is a big NO GO! 💪🏼🙏🏼
This is true! Have you ever met someone like this?
Psych2Go yes! And it wasn’t fun haha
Make eye contact
Me being an introvert: 🙈
this is spot on! i'm a salesguy, and have been for many years. i do have one or two bad habits, that i always have to keep working on, but i do follow all of what you're saying here. this is SUPER good advice! for everyone!
bonus fact: how can you tell when you're talking to an extroverted engineer? he looks at YOUR shoes when he talks to you! i've been in engineering sales for almost 30 years.
Omg did you guys read my mind or something, this is gonna be so helpful the first day of school, thank you so much 💜
if ur seeing this 😼..
ur amazing. you are here for a reason. stay strong. you are loved, and if not by anyone else then by me. have a donut and vibe with me 🍩🍩🍩🍩 . ily!!
I appreci- did you put salt and vegetables in your donut?! That’s the worst donut I’ve ever eaten!
THE NAME AHAHAHAHHA THATS SO ME OMG
Look, it’s hard for me to learn names if I meet someone only once xD
Uh, ChocoParfait, pay a bit more attention to the other person the first time you meet. Then maybe better odds for a second meeting.
Like the Doctor when he goes
“Lofty...”
“My name is not Lofty”
“Yes but I don’t remember it and I gotta concentrate so now you’re Lofty”
The main way I go about social interactions is I focus my attention outward/ on the other person and I try to ignore how I'm portraying myself. This also allows you to respond to non verbal signs as well as having a better judge on someone's character. You don't have to pay much attention to yourself at all.
Thanks for such a nice and detailed video it helps me alot and I remember all these points for future 😊
Someone has mixed my name up with someone else they were seeing during a date and I WAS SO ANNOYED! Definitely didn't go on a second date with him. That was a terrible first impression
Thank you for sharing your experience. That must be horrible! How did you respond when this person got your name mixed up?
@@Psych2go I corrected him and jokingly said "hope you dont do this on all your dates"
Sam Elle PERIODT. You deserve better 😌✨
I don’t see how someone can forget their date’s name... that’s a pretty clear sign your date wasn’t into you already
This is me to be honest. I forget names literally all the time and it pisses me off how forgetful I am. :(
Lol forgetting names just always happen with me😂😂
Very helpful list. Thank you.
Your animation 🥺💜
Your voice 🥺🖤
Your videos 🖤🥺
I love your team. Lots of love.

Psych2Go this is the happiest day of my life 😁
Psych2Go I’ll try my best to work on psychology in my future thanks to you 😁
*Lucky for me, it's hard to botch a first impression when I never leave the house to make ANY impression.* 😅
Lmao big oof 🥴
Wowwwwww! I never saw this much great videos..love your videos really by heart.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Most peoples first impression of people typically happens when they die.
I'm not first
I'm not last
But most importantly
No one asked
Lol
These are nice to look out for. It helps you build confidence without too much effort. 😁
I find myself making first impressions FREQUENTLY and these are spot on. Forgetting a name though is usually forgiven and met with, “I’m so bad with names too.”
As a former ball of shy, I found that practice has made all of this easier. Sucks at first, but getting good at this is definitely very rewarding.
My awkward-self could never 😆😅
My first impression was not too bad. Maybe I could remember their names more and have a equal two way conversation
Very good advice, thank you.
Bad Impressions:
1. You show up late.
Me: Good thing I always come prematurely:D
Hi may I ask how to deal with a low voice? For me its almost impossible for me to do a presentation properly. To be honest I can barely do a high note everytime Im asigned to do a high note for a group musical thingy in class and no matter how much I want to do it I still cant
I won't even talk to anyone cuz im an introvert and its gonna be awkward
That’s probably anxiety not introversion. Introversion is when you can talk to a person without being awkward but yet choose not to
This is perfect for the new school year! Thank u!

Thankyou for bringing this video to us.
Very guilty of this one, oof. Thanks for making me more aware of my lackluster social maneuvering, psych2go ;).
My suggestion is, how about making a video about first impressions, but on digital media (chats)?
Social interactions nowadays in digital media are just as important as physical interactions, especially with our currently quarantined cases. We may have to meet people online more than in person.
I think that would be an interesting topic to differentiate from this.
More power to you, psych2go! :)
Can't make an impression if your seemingly a ghost
Eye contact isn't important for me. (a person with autism spectrum disorders or there is a shrinking violet. introvert and shy is ok.
But talk a person about fake news, rassism and sexism Theroie, or is violence and belief in national socialism idealism, that isn't ok - and destroy the first impression immediately and forever.
Thank you for all the videos❤️
We hope these videos helped you! What other topics would you like us to cover soon?
Hello :D
haaii^^
I finally got attention
I always say to my friend 'i hope i die already' they laugh at me i hope they understand that im not joking
Why do you say that or feel that way?
Go see a professional about that
You could send them one of P2g videos on signs your friend is dealing with depression. Just to help them be more aware of what you're going through. I'm praying for you
I really liked the jazzy music in the backround, it kinda fitted
Thank you so much for your feedback! This is very helpful :)
7. Oh.... 7. I hate when some people do that, it's like what tf is so important that you pull out your phone and start texting with someone.
I will break my back one day from carrying conversations with people like that
1) You show up late

2) You forget their name
1:11
3) You use filler words
1:49
4) You interrupt people frequently

10) You don't ask questions

Could you make a video about signs that someone is afraid of relationships? I love what you are doing, I never thought these would help me
It’s crazy how I do these and I be aware of it after it happens then I see this video WOW! Thank you for the video
Greater realisations , thank you
I have discovered in the last 3 years that I talk more than people want to listen 😉, when I am anxious. Might have ruined a first coffee date with someone to whom I was super attracted. I loved the idea of repeating someone's name, when we introduce ourselves...I generally don't remember first names until I have said them 3 times. Also, your guideline around 20 minutes being too long for storytelling is great! I come from a long line of southern sit-on-the-porch story tellers. 😉
These are some really good advice and skills😉👍👍👌😁
New sub here!! Love your uploads and your voice !!
Your videos are amazing Psych2Go! Keep it up. :)
Thank you so much for your kind comment! Did you relate to this video? :)
@@Psych2go Yes and I'm going to an interview soon and these types of videos are really helping me prepare. I mostly related to the one about saying things like umm and like which I hope I can try to improve on not doing that.
I needed this thank you
I have been watching ur videos for so long..it really had a great impact on me..thanks to u...but there is only one thing that is troubling me...that is I constantly have empty feelings...I always empty in my heart.its really troubling me...plz .give me a suggestion..I request u..and thanks for all the videos...luv them💗💗
I always found long-story answers were very interesting and intriguing 🤔 I actually prefer longer answers rather than short and simple ones because it goes more into depth and it keeps the conversation longer. Another reason is that it can show how passionate they are about the topic! (If they're not having trouble explaining. Passion is something I always look for!)
I somewhat, naturally, think that if someone gives a quick answer, then it shows to me that they don't care enough about my question or it wasn't that engaging 🤔
Thank you very much for making psychological videos.....
It's really helpful dear
They've spilled things on me, showed up with my ex, etc.
Also I needed this, I'm trying to get a job and I'm worried about interviews
Thanks for the tips😉
Love u channel u have helped so many people
