Around age five I started to think about why it was we watched little people on the t.v., so finally just to clear things up I had to ask if we were being watched some where on someone's t.v., always freaked me out when going to the bathroom to think I was on someones television.
A childhood belief about being watched
others believed things like this

- when i was little i believed that when we watched a movie people had to act the movie all over a gen.
— Emmer - I used to believe that I could jump through the television and be where the people were on television.— Ash
- My dad once told me when i was about 7 or 8 that if i watched too much t.v., i would be sucked into the tv.Anon
