This is sad, when i was about 10, I had all these Harry Potter posters in my room and i used to think that they could see me when i was getting changed, so i refused to get changed in my room.

my friend came over one day and we were getting changed and she kept saying that the characters on the posters could see me getting changed, eventually i ended up halfway down the hallway ages from my room and i still thought that the posters could see me. I took them down after that

I used to believe that there was someone "working" inside of the TV set that sat there and changed the channels when I turned the knob. I would spin the knob around really fast trying to confuse them, but they always got it right. Mom told me that they could see me, too, so I should get dressed before I sat down in front of the TV so that I wouldn't be seen in my PJ's.

I used to think the television newscasters could see and hear me. I thought they were going to tell my teachers everything I did. I never got dressed in front of them. Ever.

paranoid

one time my dad told me that he has a secret video camera everywhere. So then when i did something wrong i would apologize to the air. I also thought that it was on televison so i did some wierd stuff to make things interesting.

paul

from when i was 5 all the way to 13 i believed that light bulb sockets with no light bulbs in were cameras so i never done any thing bad in front of them

after watching the Truman Show i always analyze the little stuff that look like cameras. one day when i was 9 years old i took my digital camera and threw it out the window and looked at the sky and yelled to the "director" of my show (the Jenna Show xP) that i want to get out of this fake world and yadda yadda.... my parents grounded me baaaad bcs the camera was worth a LOT of money and they took me to the psychiatrist. I still find myself looking at strange objects and wonder wether EVERYONE is watching me right now (im 14 yrs old)

I used to believe that there was cameras all around People's houses(including mines) and that poeple could buy a special machine.In the machine you write the name of a person and you can see whatever the person was doing in their house. For 5 years I was afraid to do anything embarassing in my house because of the fear that someone was watching me.

anonomous

I used to believe that my teddies and stuffed toys had camera's hidden behind there eyes and that the Alien's and secret agencies were spying on me. Talk about paranoid.

I believe you cant get undressed in your own room because the poster are looking right at you

I get really paranoid about cameras. The ones at school, the ones at work, and the ones that I'm sure are there, I just can't see them. I get especially freaked about NannyCams. I babysit for a few kids and I'm convinced their parents have them and watch my every move when they get home. I can thank Malcolm in the Middle for that one...

Cascata Ariana

I used to be afraid of changing clothes in front of the TV when I was little because I thought they could see me on the other side of the screen.

Rob

i grew up in mexico when i was around 5 i believed that my life was a soap opera that was being broadcast on American television

Anon

I used to believe that every poster on my wall was watching me, so i hid from them when i changed and was terrified that they'd tell people about me! I also thought that cameras were hidden everywhere, watching my every move. I still check for cameras whenever i have a bath or get changed!!!!

Paronoid

I believed there was a hidden camera in my teddy bear and that my kindergarten classmate who moved to Alaska could see me through it.

when i was a toddler, i saw ernest scared stupid and ernest was outside someone's door. they had a peephole and the camera was on the other side of the door looking outside. well to my surprise, ernest got REALLY close to the peephole, looked in it and it scared the hell outta me. i started crying. and everytime i would go to sleep, i would think that he is looking through my window.

teddy bear

I was an active TV watcher as a kid. But, oddly, as a very small child, I was afraid of the set when it was switched off, especially if the room was darkened. I was somehow convinced that when the TV was off, it could watch ME. This was the era of big, ugly console TVs, and those huge cathode ray tubes that, when switched off, shrunk the picture down to a single raster line that would then slowly converge into a bright "dot" in the center of the screen. Maybe I thought that dot was an "eye" that could see me.

I also remember being freightened when technical difficulties would interrupt a program, and the sudden silence was broken by the repeated recorded sound of a stentorian basso voice proclaiming "PLEASE STAND BY!" I would almost pee my pants, and have to quickly change the channel.

Still to this day, I have a problem with pictures in bathrooms because I feel like they're watching me.

Kaity

When I was a kid, I was thinking that we all are in a TV show and some strangers were watching us everyday. So I hate to go to the bathroom.

Nie

when i was young i was totally convinced that somebody has done me an operation and hide secret cameras in my eyes so he can see whatever i am seeing, also i believed that there is somebody watching me hiding in the mirror
