We also tend to assume that other people think like we do, a phenomenon called the projection bias. This is the way we think about and understand what other people are likely thinking. We tend to use our own mind as a template to make predictions about how other people will think and act. So if something bothers us, we assume it bothers other people as well. This is closely related to the consensus bias. We tend to assume that our own opinions are in the majority, that most other people share them.
