Fix it: Pause before accepting the first number or idea as truth.

Inexperienced people overestimate their ability; experts underestimate theirs.

Loss feels more painful than gain feels good.

7. Groupthink

You go with the crowd even when it's wrong.
Fix it: Think independently. Ask: “What if everyone’s wrong?”


8. Overconfidence Bias

You think you're more accurate or skilled than you actually are.
Fix it: Regularly review your mistakes and outcomes honestly.


9. Recency Bias

You believe what just happened will keep happening.

10. Halo Effect

One positive trait makes you assume everything else is good.
