Looking for a word

[Soukuw]

I'm looking for the word that describes assuming other people have the same skill as you. E.g. Thinking something is obvious and everyone should know it despite you actually having a background in the subject.

ah, the "curse of knowledge" as it's famously called. if your looking for a 1 worded answer it would probably be something like egocentrism

Maybe egocentrism but I felt like it was lighter sounding than that... if that makes sense. IDK

there isnt a word for it but it's sort of like solipsism

In a cognitive development sense, it could be referred to as "theory of mind", where kids up to a certain age aren't able to conceptualize that other people have different information than them.

example, they see you have a box of goldfish crackers, and see you put in some gummy bears, then ask them what their friend would think is in the box. Up to a certain age, the kid would say gummy bears like it is obvious even though there is no way their friend would know this, but around 5 or so the kid would understand that their friend didn't have that information and would incorrectly assume the box has goldfish crackers in it
