A group of cognitive biases where one assumes that others experience the world in the same way as oneself:
- Typical mind fallacy – assuming others experience, react to, and relate to the world in the same way as you do – e.g., assuming someone must be upset by public criticism because you would be upset in that situation.
- Epistemological projection fallacy – assuming that things appear the same way to others as they do to you. Due to differences in minds, eyes, and other sensory organs, two people looking at the same thing may experience it differently – for example, a rose might appear completely different to someone with colorblindness
- Semantic projection fallacy – assuming that others interpret words the same way you do. Example: you say "tree" thinking of a leafy oak while the other person pictures a palm tree

Can be shortened to projection fallacies
