Ok so I realize the title seems confusing, so let me elaborate:
Often times someone with a high level of knowledge in a some subject, may be inadvertently over-charitable to others, in assuming that they too have the same high level of knowledge, and insights that he/she may, whilst more often than not, that is not the case. In doing so, (especially in competitive environments), they may then assume, (and get discouraged further), in initiating a new project/venture with their insights, because they think that "everyone" already knows what they know, and so their idea isn't unique, and may be "already thought-of / done".
Is there a word/phrase that may capture such a thing? It's sort of a cross between selling yourself short because of knowledge/insight, since you falsely believe everyone else already knows what you know.
Thanks

This is the other part of the Dunning Krueger effect, and it's also called Imposter Syndrome. I think this question may be a duplicate of this one.

@Laurel Hi Laurel, I am aware of Impostor-Syndrome, but in my case, it is not a matter of confidence, and not what I mean. The nuance here is that in this case, even with someone who is confident/etc, they might just unconsciously believe that others in their field have their insights. I actually believe this is more to do with just forgetting how hard it is to learn something, and so once learned, you think everyone else already knows the concept/insight. Thanks

Yep. Sounds like imposter syndrome. People with imposter syndrome are experts and know they are experts but feel they may not have anything special to offer.

I think "overestimating" peoples' knowledge/competencies is the closest I can get to what you mean.
