The biggest part in relationships; correct communication... The most important step in establishing correct communication is to stay away from prejudices.
“During our lives, we make many decisions about our lives, whether positive or negative, without realizing it. We apply these decisions we make in certain areas of our lives. There are many factors that affect us when making positive or negative decisions. Let's look at some of these: environmental factors, our current emotional state, stress, prejudices, etc. There are many factors.
Today we briefly ask, What is prejudice? How do our prejudices form? How do our prejudices affect us? Can our prejudices change? We will seek answers to your questions.
Prejudice; It is a process in which we interpret this information in the face of general information we collect about different situations, different thoughts, and people we do not know or have just met. Our prejudices are realized automatically by our brain without us being aware of it.
So, does this automatic process occur in the same way in all people?
Our answer is no. Because prejudices are shaped as a result of our needs, our past experiences and needs.
For example: A young man notices an elegant young woman standing alone at a party. After some time, the young man thinks about how boring the young woman who caught his attention actually is and turns towards another direction. Meanwhile, the young woman comes towards the man and starts chatting with him. However, the young man gives short answers to the woman's questions, dismisses her and walks away. Later, the young man's friend tells him how elegant and beautiful the woman he was trying to escape from was. However, the young man tells his friend that she is very boring and reminds him of his ex-girlfriend. What happened to the young man here was his prejudices that came into play unconsciously. This situation caused the young man to form a wrong first impression about the young woman.
Throughout our lives, we have many wrong first impressions that are formed without us being aware of it. This situation perhaps prevents us from many opportunities. is flowing. Therefore, instead of saying 'first impression is the last impression', let's take a look at what we should do to correct the wrong impressions we have or will have:
