I don't notice myself rationalising much at all.

My hypothesis is that I am rationalising and I have not picked up the skill to detect it. Which is confusing, because I regularly interrogate myself and look at my beliefs and such to find irrationalities, but I havn't found any.

Am I doing it wrong? Or am I unussually rational? Placing higher probability on doing it wrong feels like fake humility, but I think its accurate.
