S1E1 First Impressions: They're Basically Just Dating Apps

What is a first impression and how much value should we give it?

• Expectations: who you are versus the person they are expecting to meet 

  • Often related to anxieties because you so badly want to be the person but you don’t know how you come off 

  • Can we ever objectively know what we are like?

• How can we temper our expectations of self when they are offset by others’ opinions of us? 

• What is the importance of ‘impression’ in social transactions?
