The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at the Trope Launch Pad.

What's the trope where a character assumes everyone else thinks like them/experienced the same things as them and gets no end of trouble for it (directly or by offering utterly useless if not insulting advice)? I looked at Evil Cannot Comprehend Good and its opposite, but that's not quite it.
For example, someone who grew up with Abusive Parents cannot conceive that other people could care for their parents, a guy with massive sexual issues sees fornicators tempting him everywhere, a rich person doesn't get that you can't always buy your way out of a problem, a miser thinks everyone around him is a greedy thief, etc.
