It doesn't just happen, but often it is deceptive. No wonder they say “the first impression is deceptive”. Therefore, you should not rely on the first impression, often fails.
In one book on psychology, I read such a version that the first impression of a person is always correct, since our brain actively analyzes information at first acquaintance, based on your experience, values, stereotypes, life principles, preferences, and so on – a certain impression of another person is formed in the first seconds. Then, when communicating and getting closer to him/her, various factors and circumstances are superimposed, when you idealize / belittle the qualities/traits of a person, when you already have a connection/emotions/feelings, then it is difficult for you to judge him/her objectively.
I checked on my personal experience: at the first meeting, I didn't like the impression about the person, there was something repulsive and even disgusting, then we started to communicate better and closer , found a lot of pluses and positive qualities, decided then that I really made a mistake with the first impression, a couple of years later, an event occurred that confirmed my first impression and the act that Such similar situations have happened to me more than once and with different people from different social strata and different ages. Now I often judge by the first impression, because in my experience I doubt that it is deceptive.
It's more of a lottery. But it is often deceptive. Although it is the first impression that remains in the memory for a long time. I think the choice is purely personal, whether to rely or not.
