Nobody but nobody is immune to self influence.

Quite so - not me either, but I am not only aware of its existence,
but cautious of its effects. More so than most, it seems.

"Seems" being the operative word. Don't let your ego influence your
perception!

I am cautious of my first instincts, and distrustful of my own
judgment to the point that I think about things carefully before
deciding - particularly how I might have been wrong. *This* is what
you consider to be an overly inflated ego? Do try again.
