Pigeonholing is the act of categorizing or classifying something or someone into a specific, often oversimplified, group or category. 🐦 Think of it like assigning mail to specific slots in a post office box (pigeonholes). It often involves making assumptions or judgments based on limited information. Pigeonholing can limit opportunities and reinforce stereotypes. It's important to recognize and challenge pigeonholing in ourselves and others. It can prevent us from seeing the full potential and complexity of individuals.
