When I was young I used to believe that someone was hiding under my bed at night.
I was always scared when the light where off. Every evening, I asked my parents to check under the bed.

When I was younger, I used to think there were creatures hiding in my closet. It scared me, so I always closed the closet door before going to bed. Now I know there was nothing there, but I still close it every night. It has become a habit that I’ve kept over the years.

When i was a child, i used to believe that if i switched off the lights at nights, a monster was going to chase me until i reach my bedrooom. During my childhood i usually woke up at night to go to the toilets. When i turned off the toilets lights, i was scared and ran to my bedroom as fast as possible. I was afraid that the monster would catch in the stairs and drag me across the floor. Now im not scared anymore. Over the years, the fear faded away, but i still have the feeling that a monster is always there...

When I was a child, I used to be afraid of my own cellar in my house.
One evening, I was down in my cellar and I heard a really strange noise. Since this day, my own cellar frightened me.

One year later, my brother told me that he had locked my cat into the cellar because it annoyed him. At this moment, I understood I was stupid but now I'm not totally serene when I go down in my cellar...I always have doubts...

When I was a child, I believed that the hole in the sink was connected to Africa. Since I thought there was very little water there, I poured water into the drain every day so that people could drink. I felt proud because I believed I was helping others. One day, my mother was shocked to see me doing it. She explained how things really worked, and I understood. Today, I would still like to help people in Africa, but in a more meaningful and effective way.

I used to believe…

One time there were tons of suds coming out of the washing machine, and I thought it was because all the clothes in the washing machine turned into suds, so I then thought that clothes turn into suds in the washing machine, meaning some of my clothes will soon be gone forever.

When I was little, I used to be very scared of the toilet during the night. I used to believe that was a monster hiding inside it. When I flushed, especially in the dark, I thought the monster would go out the toilet. I used to run out of the bathroom as fast I could, without looking back. This scare started after I watched an horror movie with my older cousin. After this, I used to avoid to flushing at night.
One day, I told my parents about the monster, and they laughted at me so I realized the monster was in my imagination.

I was sure it wasn't me that lost it, so I used to think it was something magical that hide my security blanket. Almost every night I went to my parent's, crying and whining, because I couldn't sleep without it. One day, it stopped and I always found my security blanket.
