Learn English – the name of a fallacy for thinking something is easy for others because it is easy for you

single-word-requests

I don't remember where I was reading this, but whoever posted on the page said something along the lines of there being a fallacy that means:

believing a task to be easy for others because it is easy for you

I looked it up afterwards and found other references to it, so I believe it is a real fallacy and not just something that person made up. This has been stuck in my head for weeks so any help is appreciated.

It is part of Dunning-Kruger effect.

... highly skilled individuals tend to underestimate their relative competence, erroneously assuming that tasks which are easy for them are also easy for others.
