I'm glad the author is thinking this one over. Without exception, I've found people who are unquestioningly confident in their quick judgments to be horrible judges.
I'm guessing it's some sort of loop of confirmation bias latched with confidence in the initial judgement.
>'Finding a balance here is something I’m working on now.'
For me, I've found it helps to try and change perspectives. To go from trying to classify how I feel to considering how 'they' might feel.
It's going to sound cheesy and possibly really abstract, but I try to think of people less as a classification problem - sorting marbles into bins and more like legos - considering a fit for each piece.
