It's not surprising that most people have a hard time deciding whether they like or dislike you. They also have a hard time distinguishing between you and the other person within just a few minutes of meeting you.

Unfortunately, the author has also created a lot of filler in the book, which prevented it from being very good. The book only has about 100 pages worth of content without all the access junk. At the end of every section, the author provides a self-awareness question for the reader.
