Answered by ExamLex AI

I remember a time when I met a new coworker at my job and formed a first impression of her as being unfriendly and unapproachable. She didn't smile much and seemed to keep to herself, so I assumed she wasn't very friendly. However, as I got to know her better, I realized that my first impression was completely wrong. She was actually very kind and had a great sense of humor. She just took some time to warm up to new people and was a bit shy at first. I learned from this experience that first impressions can be deceiving and it's important to give people a chance to show their true selves before making judgments.
