Blind Spot
A “blind spot” is something we cannot easily see or recognize about ourselves or a situation.
Examples:
1- Sometimes our biggest blind spots are about ourselves. We may think we’re being patient or fair, while others experience us very differently.
2- In relationships, people sometimes have blind spots too. They may not realize how their habits affect the people around them.
