I used to believe that everyone else could read my mind. I thought everyone could hear everything I was thinking. I spent about half my childhood looking at people thinking the words GET THE KDFJFLKSDJ OUT OF MY HEAD!!

paranoid

When I was about 5, I had the thought that when people left the room and closed the door, they disappeared. I became afraid I was the only real person alive, and everyone else was just part of a test to see how I responded. Took me quite a while to become convinced that everyone else was just like me.

In elementary school, my friends and I had this weird relationship with the monkey bars. There were about 10 bars going up really high but we could reach the first one in first grade. So go figure, we assumed that every bar you reach was what grade you should be in. It didn't help that I was the shortest one so that in fourth grade, I could only touch the second bar. My friends were always just barely touching the fifth bar.

Some kids liked to play tag, us-otherwise

i used to believe that the white foam on the surface of the ocean were unicorns trying to escape.

I used to believe that to get a name, you had to go through a machine as a baby that would suck up your brain and analyse your DNA and give you a name that fits your personality. I thought this until when I was 14.

I used to believe that if you told a lie, Dragonflies will come and sew your mouth shut. For real.

After watching a cartoon, I thought that shoes were alive and I was hurting mine when I walked in them. For a few days I walked with a portion of my feet tipped off the ground. I stopped when I decided their faces were on the top of the shoe, not the bottom.

When I was little, I used to believe that you dissapeared if you closed your eyes. I would try to hide by squeasing my eyes tightly shut.

I assume this belief came after reading a book or watching a movie, or maybe my sisters told me.
Anyways.
In my "past life," I had been kidnapped from my family at the age of twelve (The perfect age, as far as I was concerned. I think I was convinced it happened on my 12th birthday, actually.) by a secret facility that the government knew nothing about. There, they completely wiped my mind of personal memories, like my name, thoughts of my friends and family, and such, while retaining basic information like the names of colors, fundamental brain-functioning activity, what "trees," "rocks," and "gravity" were. Then, they put me into a sort of coma that allowed me to have dreams. They manipulated my dreams into teaching me all I needed to become an expert assassin while making sure I had no sense that *I* actually existed, as a person. Then, they woke me up, and after making sure I remembered what I had learned and could apply it in the real world, I was sent out on various missions, usually not to kill people, but to steal random objects or money. This, I assumed, lasted for roughly a year. Then, I realized, some how, that *I* actually existed. A single faint memory of something or someone wasn't completely removed. I escaped, on the run for roughly 3/4 of a year, 9 months. Then, they finally captured me, but fearing that I couldn't be trusted to be loyal to "The Agency," I would no longer be a part of their project. They couldn't simply kill me, because I had had contact with the outside world and a federal search would run the risk of revealing their project. This confusion lasted 3 months, to make another year. They then decided to completely wipe my memory of all my training, and, for some reason, decided to shrink me back down to a small child. Something went wrong, and I kept my intelligence capacity, although it was, for the most part, completely empty. This was all a complicated explanation as to why I was smarter than the rest of my class, and as to why I had a fascination with nooses.
Now that I think about it, it was definitely from some sort of book, don't you think?

The Assassin

After watching parent trap, I was convinced that I had a secret twin living with my father (my parents split up when I was a baby and my father lived in a different country). For about two years after that I presumed that everytime i was with my dad my secret twin must be taking my place.

When I was little I used to think that everybody except
mum was spying on me and that they have hidden cameras everywhere.

Slushyyy

I used to believe that I was the only person alive in the world and everybody else was just part of my world. My life was also a 24hour TV show on a special channel.

When i was younger, i thought that we were all dolls and a giant's kid was playing with us like we play with dolls and trucks and such!!! How stupid was i?? lol

Deaf children often have a unique way of making sense of the world around them. For example, many Deaf children with hearing parents (like my son) believe that all children are born deaf, and when they grow up, they magically learn to hear.

Darynda Jones

When I was little I used to believe that my life was a TV show. I honestly thought that SOMEHOW there were cameras that watched my everymove.

I also believed that TV shows were other people's lives that I was allowed to watch. I just hoped MY show was as funny as some of theirs... and I also always wanted to go live with the Star Trek people b/c their life was cool! haha

Heather

I use to believe that my life was one big TV show. and that I lived inside a TV.
So I would always try to do silly things to make the giants, [who were watching me on their TV screens] laugh.

In the fourth grade my best friend Danielle and I were desperate to be different. So instead of being called Sami and Dani - our nicknames - we started calling ourselves Zani and Zami, insisting that we were from the planet Iggy and were dropped off on our parents' doorsteps as babies. And when people called us strange we argued and said we were merely wierd and calling us strange was purely and insult to our nature and home-planet.
