I never struggle with first impressions, so I wouldn't say "we all struggle with first impressions". I don't agree that the 7/38/35 rule isn't 100% accurate. What matters is the person's personality and genetic set up that defines the energy we transmit into the world, and that IS what others feel as soon as they are in our auras. But of course, nobody talks about it because we don't see it with our eyes and it's not possible to measure the auric dynamics between people. However, there are ways to have insight into this... let me give you my example, my personality is friendly by genes, even before I say anything people trust me. I've tested it hundreds of times and it always proved to be true.
