A childhood belief about i'm different

Of course, when you're little, it's only natural to believe that the world revolves around you. I took this to an extreme, however. I used to think that my life was a little like the Truman Show (before it existed) - everyone knew me and the people I met were only pretending not to. People were assigned to be my friends. No-one liked me. My family had to put up with me as a punishment.

On one level I knew this was ridiculous, so one day I devised a cunning plan to find out for sure. In a fight with my sister I screamed "Everyone in the world knows you and hates you and we all have meetings about you when you're asleep to talk about you!". For sure, if it wasn't true, she'd just call me stupid. "No way!" she cried, "that's what we do with you!".

Well, you all know that I know, so you can stop it now.
