perception
You believe your perception is the objective truth.
A 1996 study showed that people assume their perspective is rational, while disagreement implies others are biased or uninformed.
This is known as naive realism, where you interpret your own sensory input as an accurate reflection of the world. You struggle to account for how your own background frames the information you receive.
You treat your subjective experience as a neutral observation.
