A valid point; although I never thought that everyone else were similar to each other; just that I never seemed to fit in the model that other people had. And they certainly weren't thinking as I was.
if this were a venn diagram I would imagine many slightly overlapping circles, rather than one around everyone else and one around me.
I think the underlying flaw pointed out on the "Generalizing From One Example" fallacy you mentioned above is the premise that out of a specific example it is possible to conclude how others behave. If this is so, then if you conclude others think different, the same way, or different between themselves based on your own experience then you are going through the same false process I think.
