DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

- Have you ever changed your mind about what you think of someone and started to like them, even though you didn’t at first? If so, what led to that change?

- What are some reasons why it’s hard to change a first impression?

- Dr. Friendtastic said, “We can’t force someone to like us.” What does this statement mean to you? 

- What impression do you think most people have of you when they first meet you? Is that similar or different from how your close friends see you?
