When anyone engages you, they expect a confirmation of a bias.
No one engages you on a blank slate.
Yet with that knowledge, people go ahead to confirm the bias, even when the bias is against them.
We all have the opportunity to form a new impression, one engagement at a time, and it starts with you defining the bias you want to be confirmed, and then living it, daily.
When people encounter a reality that disproves their bias, they form a new bias that accentuates reality. You can choose the bias that is perpetuated within those you engage.
