Detailed explanation-1: -Confirmation bias is a psychological term for the human tendency to only seek out information that supports one position or idea. This causes you to have a bias towards your original position because if you only seek out information that supports one idea, you will only find information that supports that idea.
Detailed explanation-2: -For example, imagine that a person believes left-handed people are more creative than right-handed people. Whenever this person encounters a person that is both left-handed and creative, they place greater importance on this “evidence” that supports what they already believe.
Detailed explanation-3: -Approach someone you know sees things differently from you and ask them what they are seeing. Be open to their ideas and try to explore them. Talk with an outside party – Approach a coach or someone you trust to help you impartially explore your thoughts and beliefs without judgment.
