1 and 2 are incorrect, as you should use 'was' not 'is' (matching the past tense of 'saw') 2 'indifference' should be 'indifferent'. With correct grammar, all 3 are possible, and each mean slightly different things, in increasing order of 'coldness'. Also - none of them explicitly say that you now think that first impression was incorrect.

All are incorrect. We write "I", not "i". For the grammar, only #3 is correct. The others need the past tense!

The first time I saw her, I thought she was not as I thought to be her.
