Confirmation bias and the danger of surrounding ourselves with like-minded people

We often surround ourselves with people who think and believe the same as us, creating an echo chamber. This confirmation bias leads us to believe that our opinions are always correct, as everyone around us confirms them. Breaking out of this echo chamber is difficult, as awareness of the bias isn't enough to fix it. It is naturally built into our human psyche. This can be seen in media, politics, and even in personal relationships. Being aware of and actively seeking out different perspectives is crucial to avoid falling victim to confirmation bias.
