Too often I am a victim of my own consistency bias. It is a hard thing for me overcome. I don't really know where my obsession to be correct always, comes from. I think it might have something to do with this. When I am arguing a point with someone, it feels like some people will see a single 'victory' as a way to validate other points in their arguments.
This is something that can irritate me. I feel like I have to be extra aware during my conversations. This is something that most often shows when I am having a conversation or an argument with someone who is more dedicated to 'being right', than finding the truth. I cannot say that I am always seeking the the truth. I am sure that I have also had my ego get in the way.
I think going forward, I will try and not care too much about what people think about me or the subject we had just discussed. If I cannot change their mind during a conversation, I should take comfort in the fact that this might be because I am wrong. If I am right however, then I should instead see it as my shortcoming that I cannot argue my point correctly. I should instead investigate on how to solidify my position better by doing research, or I should learn to not care about every little thing.
