Everyone has a blind spot. That’s what the friend in the passenger seat is for.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

There are things about your situation you structurally cannot see, not from carelessness but because of where you sit. Everyone has them, and the defining feature is that you do not experience them as gaps, since the view simply looks complete. This is why a second set of eyes is not a luxury.

Give one person explicit permission to tell you what you are missing, and mean it when they use it. Ask about a specific area rather than inviting general feedback. Then sit with what comes back for a day before deciding whether it is fair.
