I assume

I assume people don't think because I can't hear other people think.

I can't hear the voices in their heads the way I hear my own voice thinking my own thoughts.

I'm not sure how much sense that makes.
I'm not really trying to put people down and be arrogant. It's just an assumption that I have. It's like our natural assumption that a crowd is like one entity rather than multiple individuals because we don't really think about that and we aren't reminded of it.
It's like when a boy and a girl are walking side by side and I assume they are either a couple or going to be one soon.
It's like when you tell me you're a doctor and I assume you're smart enough to survive in society.
