NEGATIVE IMPRESSION
Negative impression refers to negative perspective or opinion someone has about a specific thing, product, person, platform or service. Negative impression can be develop as a result of these things;
EXPERIENCE: Experience can make people develop negative impression about something a particular service or project because of what they may have encountered, or the harmful event the may have faced, they may have faced or encountered this repeatedly or maybe once. And when this happens it makes this individual to lose interest about that particular thing and also have negative feeling about that activity, it also makes them not to see the positive aspect of that feeling they have about it. Having a balance view as regards to what caused this negative impression can be a hard task.
SOCIAL INTERACTION:
Interacting with people people who already don't love or already have negative impression about a particular project, product or service, can also lead to one losing same interest, just because of what they he or she may have heard. Sometimes people's perception about a particular thing can also affect us if us and make us not to be able to make our own decision.
Once, I was having a conversation with a friend ( he didn't know that I know much about crypto) we were discussing a particular issue all of a sudden crypto came into our discussion and he told me that most online business especially crypto is a scam and that people shouldn't be involved in it I laughed, I then asked him why he thinks so, so he started giving me invalid reason. I told him that those his reasons are invalid and I explained to him why I said so, at first he wanted us to start having an argument but later I used a unique source to explain crypto to him and finally understood what crypto is, am happy that now his now into crypto and have join hive (a crypto platform) and his also an active member. That for instance that I my self does not know anything about crypto, he may have convinced me and also make me have negative impression about crypto.
So this really shows that social interaction can make one develop negative impression.
- LACK OF UNDERSTANDING: This can also cause negative impression, because when an individual do not fully understand a particular project or service because of limited information or his/her level of understanding can result to negative impression.
Lack of understanding can also make one to assume or misinterpret, thereby causing lack of interest.
