You’ve changed my beliefs and thinking more than anyone outside my family, by a pretty huge margin. This makes me far more likely to raise something to the level of being worth paying attention to just because you’ve recommended it (as it should), but it also makes me careful on a gut level every time I’m consider adopting yet another belief from you.
I think this is partly because of what you describe in this post, but partly because I know a lot of the existing beliefs I have that will be inclining me to accept the new belief came themselves from you. I’m not sure how much I should compensate for this as it’s mostly happening at an emotional level, and is working counter to other emotions.
