Yes, I have talked many times with my friends how we came across as a first impression. Most of them say I am very strict and confident and intimidating in a way if the person standing in front of me perceives themselves as weak. But if I have a strong person "on the other side" they see my huge energy and the positive optimistic part. So much of it is self projection and use of prior experience.
