Is there a name for the situation where you assume X of someone else because that’s how you feel? Is that projection?

I discussed gambling on Bitcoin, considered it carefully, right near the beginning. Didn’t bother. Don’t regret it. I mean, why should I be enriched by Bitcoin? It’s not clear that Bitcoin is a good thing. I could have invested in cigarettes or oil companies but I wouldn’t do those things. I have no regrets about not buying Bitcoin, just as I have no regrets that I haven’t gone to work for Facebook and accumulated lots of cash.

I find it so odd that people would assume I’d regret it. Life isn’t about finding easy ways to collect money, why would you think it is?
