What blind spot might I be missing right now?
Examine a recurring frustration from three perspectives, without a remote diagnosis.
Published: · Version 1
A prompt to try
Help me examine a possible blind spot. First ask about a recurring situation, my specific behavior and the observed outcome. Ask up to three further questions, one at a time. Separate the observation, my explanation and three plausible alternatives, including one unrelated to my personality. For each alternative, show existing evidence and what argues against it or is still missing. Do not invent other people’s motives or a diagnosis. Let me correct the interpretations. Then write an open question I could voluntarily use to ask for feedback and suggest a small, reversible behavior experiment. Say explicitly when the information does not support a conclusion.
