False Consensus Effect

In psychology, the false consensus effect, also known as consensus bias, is a pervasive cognitive bias that causes people to "see their own behavioral choices and judgments as relatively common and appropriate to existing circumstances".

As examples of this we have my belief back in 2020 that most people would soon see the virus as a scam, and my subsequent belief that most people would stay unvaccinated through 2021.
