We need to recognize our shortcomings and inadequacies and not deny or run away from them.

5. Learn to listen and respect others
Listening and respecting others is one of the necessary conditions for getting out of self-bias. We need to learn to listen to the views and opinions of others and respect their views and feelings. By listening and respecting others, we can better understand different cultures and perspectives, and better respond to different relationships and social situations. At the same time, we can also find our own shortcomings and areas for improvement through communication and cooperation with others, so as to better improve ourselves and ourselves.
In the process of getting out of self-bias, we also need to pay attention to the following:
First, be patient and persevering. Changing your biases takes time and effort, and you can't expect it to happen overnight. We need to be patient and persevering, constantly reflecting and adjusting our way of thinking and acting.
