My girlfriend, whom I already have impressed. And I don't *try* to impress her. She naturally likes me/wants me. Which rocks. I'm trying to impress my parents a little, but it doesn't matter much.
Honestly, no one. I'm me, take it or leave it, world. I can behave as the situation calls, i.e. be professional, but no one on this rock is worth changing who I am for. The important ones will accept me for who I am, like my best friend for over 12 years.
My boss so I can get more responsibility and £££. My family love me for who I am and my friends and I don't need to impress each other.
This will sound corny but I do try to create a favorable impression where I work. Customers know I have a smile for everything that's right and the acumen to fix anything that's wrong; crew know I never slack off and neither give nor take crap.
I have recently begun an exercise program. While the goal is to feel better, rather than to "impress" myself, I will be impressed if I make the kind of change I hope -- and intend -- to make.
I'm running a superhero game for some friends. I try to create stories and characters they like.
That's about it.
My mother would only be impressed if I met a fabulous woman, got married, and gave her a grandchild. Since women look at me like some new species of cockroach, and I have the utmost intention to never, ever become a parent, she's out of luck also.
I don't try to impress strangers. To expect people I don't know to be interested in anything I do would be narcissistic. After all, I don't watch their TV shows, follow their sports teams, drink at their bars, or follow their little personal soap operas -- why should they follow mine?

More or less this, except I don't bother trying to impress him. I have no interest in becoming a skilled auto mechanic, or in learning to navigate every back road in the state. Those are pretty much his only criteria. The navigation thing pisses him off especially, he genuinely seems to think I should remember every nameless, stripeless strip of potholed, podunk asphalt he drove me down once, twenty years ago. I have decided his standards are foolish and unreasonable.FortheLegion said:

Impress? I'm not trying to impress anyone. I am trying to live up to all the potential my parents and others seem to think I have, but frankly I don't see it.
The admissions board at Carnegie-Mellon. Applying for grad school is much more stressful than I had anticipated it being. All I want is to put myself in even more debt so I can get a Master's, is that too much to ask?!

Some days, myself. I try not to look in the mirror too closely, and always dress with haste these days. But, more often than not, I'm trying to impress him. The man I love but lost. I drove him away like an idiot because I couldn't believe he truly cared, or that when he gazed at me in his bed, that he felt any desire for me. It was my biggest regret, and I'll spend the rest of my days trying to be worthy of those looks he gave me. Even when he's not there to witness it.

Between your screenname and your acting creds, you've impressed me.ChildofGallifrey said:
OT: Probably my mom. Due to family issues, we've had a tough time lately, and I'm trying to make her proud of me and help keep her mind off things. And I'm always in it for myself. Trying to prove that I can do something is my best motivation.
In slightly more minor "people I'm trying to impress," whenever I'm working, I like to be on my best behavior for guests. It's always great to hear "you're doing great," "you have a wonderful personality," or (one of the stranger oft-repeated compliments I get at work) "you have a wonderful singing voice."
I try to impress no-one... Other human being think they can impress me, then they will have an... unfortunate incident happen to them... Unless it's just them not knowing what Doom is. Then I just pimp-slap them to show my disgust towards them. But back to the main topic. The reason I don't try to impress people is because that would only attract unwanted attention from the stupid demographic. Hopefully my future soulmate won't make me "prove my worth" God of War style.
Myself. I only try to impress other people when it means that I will impress myself more.Sariteiya said:
