I believed that I was mentally deficient and everyone was just being nice to me. I thought that my parents warned anyone that I met just before I met them so that they would pretend to treat me normally. I spent ages scouring my school signs for anything that might suggest I was right. I was mostly convinced when I got 5 As and 4Bs at GCSE, but still consider the possibility when I am having a particularly paranoid moment, hehe.
Not quite sure how that belief came about, I don't think I was particularly paranoid about anything else.
