Everyone views the world through unique filters. Filters based on personal experiences, culture, environment, frame of mind-the list goes on. But often, these filters are shared, which sometimes causes people to believe that other people see the world in a similar way that they do. Enter: the false consensus effect.
What is the false consensus effect?
The false consensus effect is the phenomenon and tendency to overestimate the degree to which other people will agree with you, think like you, and behave like you.
