@tayfonay@beige.party I'm known for immediately judging someone in business or similar circumstances within 5-15 seconds of meeting and shaking hands.

Smarmy sales-dudes and bro-dudes go immediately into my mental spam folder, and I often let my colleagues know of my assessment as soon as the subject is out of ear shot.

If you try to project confidence but haven’t first established trust, your efforts will backfire. No one wants to end up respected but disliked. As Cuddy said, “If someone you’re trying to influence doesn’t trust you, you’re not going to get very far; in fact, you might even elicit suspicion, because you come across as manipulative.”
