I believed that if you held your breath, then your heart would stop during the time that you were holding your breath ... and start again when you started breathing.

I used to think that, because when you burp it feels like lots of air leaving you, you only had so many burps in your life before all of the air left you and you died!

When I was little my mother told my sisters and I that if we used deodorant we would stop breathing because it would plug up our pores and cause suffocation.

Whenever I faced the sun as a kid, I felt the urge to sneeze, so clearly the "magnetism" generated by the sun caused sneezes. Silly huh, EVERYONE knows little gnomes inside your face release gases that cause sneezes.

This is a very strange one, I will be surprised and somewhat relieved if anyone else believed this.

In elementary school I thought that people's spit had a specific smell and that if I drank from the same cup or if someone accidentally spit on me while talking my spit would smell like theirs.

i used to believe that when you sneezed it was your soul trying to escape and so I was always terrified and would cry when i did

When I was little I believed that everyone saw different colors. Like, if I saw blue my friend saw purple [but she called it blue]...

Ex. The sky is blue.
But my blue might not look like someone elses blue. Maybe my blue is purple in their eyes. [It gets confusing when you think about it...]

I used to believe that humans produce milk. I learned that wasn’t true when I tried to milk myself after I first developed my breasts.
