The Blind Spot (Cognitive)

The cognitive blind spot refers to our tendency to overlook or be unaware of our own biases, assumptions, or limitations in understanding. Just as the physical blind spot in our eyes causes us to miss certain visual information, this mental blind spot prevents us from recognizing how our thinking may be flawed or biased. It can lead to overconfidence in our judgments or an inability to see alternative perspectives, affecting decision-making and interpersonal relationships. Being aware of this blind spot encourages humility and openness to feedback, helping us make more balanced and informed choices.
