Oi boy!

The very short answer is: yes. Usually it’s called psychological biases and literally everyone has them - even people who are studying them daily, to be very clear. They just become way more self aware.

The reason is simple: our brains are gooey, bad calculators - but awesome pattern recognizers. Even if there are no patterns.

This leads to things we observe to be “clear” to us - but our own behavior needs a lot of mental effort to be observed by one self.

Just think about a normal dialogue and try to think about your body language, tone of voice, body odor, social appearance and all the other micro information you’re sending out - while talking.

It’s less about a double standard and more about what we evaluate about ourselves ehwne not investing additional effort.
