"Les premières impressions sont toujours peu fiables"

Franz Kafka

Simplified Meaning:

When you first meet someone, the initial thoughts and judgments you form about them might not be accurate. These first impressions can be misleading because they are often based on appearances and snap judgments rather than true understanding. For example, you might meet someone at a party who seems very quiet and shy. You might think they don’t want to talk or are not friendly. However, once you get to know them better, you might find out they are just a bit nervous in new situations but are very warm and talkative when they feel comfortable. It’s important to give people a second chance and take the time to learn more about them before making up your mind. This approach can help you form better relationships and avoid misunderstandings.
