A man isn't supposed to ask for help. That's what I learned. I'm not sure where I learned it from. It feels like something that came from everywhere. I ought to act like a man since I look like a man, otherwise I will stand out and people won't like me. I want everyone to like me even though I know there are sayings about how "you can't please everyone."
Somewhat recently, I've learned I make a bad first impression. Now I feel like I ought to bring it up and apologize preemptively in conversation.
It feels circular.

So here's something

I don't agree with the first/blunt impressions I got from others sometimes - I had cases where people just spontaneoulsy step back, fold arms in front of their chests, or frown with rather serious expressions etc. What I gathered from those, which is quite hard to miss haha, is I may seem intimidating or agressive, but you know what, I know I am actually really sweet and I love laughing and making jokes.
Certainly first impression may reflect more or less not necessarily who you are but how you feel about life at that moment, but I think it also has quite a lot to do with the eyes receiving especially their previous experiences and people they interacted with.
So, if it helps, try to focus inwards, on the great being you know you are. If things don't work out with the ones you might want to impress, guess what, you might dodge a bullet.
