A childhood belief about i'm different

i used to believe that my body was actually in the real world, i just couldn't see it. I believed that everything in this world was a figment of my imagination. I thought that i was really in a mental hospital in the real world and scientists were studying me to try to find out about the world i thought i lived in. I used to pick something up (a pencil for example) and wonder whether i'd grabbed the scientist's pen, or some other object, or whether i was just holding air. I used to wonder what they thought of my conversations too... since they could only hear my side of them. And i worried when i went to sleep in case they got bored of me and threw me out...

i was a strange child...
