This, exactly. I'm glad you understand, including the extrapolating to other relationships. Because this is what I was doing with T saying how he probably doesn't think about me for the rest of the day--I started thinking, if his mind is more like how most people's minds work, does that mean everyone in my life doesn't think of me at all once I'm out of their sight (or not actively texting/emailing them, whatever). I know that's likely not true, but that's where my mind goes.
