Everyone has a bias
When we do seek outside input, it’s usually because we want someone who has less of a bias than we do – because we’re so close to the issue. But remember, people who care about you and have been by your side through your journey aren’t completely without bias. There are things they know about you and your past that are coloring their perspective.
As Walker puts it, “When someone helps you or gives you their opinions, even though they may actively try to act in your best interest, they will still make decisions coming from their viewpoint. Basically…we all naturally have our biases, especially when we are close to a person.”
