Do you have knee jerk reaction thoughts on situations or people you know to be false, but keep coming up and need to consciously suppress and remind yourself they're irrational?

When someone has a slur in their speech because of an accent or impediment or whatever reason there may be, I need to remind myself it does not reflect their intelligence in any way.

The most ironic thing is that while nobody ever complains about it, when I hear myself on a recording I think I maybe should go see a speech therapist.
