Everyone except you is a robot

When I was young I believed that everybody else in the world was probably robots of some sort, and that they were all programmed to simulate the world around me while studying and analyzing my behavior. For a long time I would purposely provoke my parents in the hope that I would expose some flaw in their underlying programming and thus put the lie to their simulation.

I used to believe that I was the only person in the world capable of thought, and that everyone else were robots.

Caroline

I used to think that everyone in the world was a robot... except me. My mother kept telling me that the world didnt revolve around me, so I started to think maybe she was hiding something. I thought that if I came around the corner fast enough, I could catch my family/friends/strangers doing "robot things".

When I was younger, I used to think that all humans were robots and they were out to get me. I thought that the world froze and so did the people when I wasn't around them.

Lauren

When I was a about seven I went through a faze of thinking everyone was robots and as soon as I walked out the room they would stop moving I was for ever trying to catch them out .
I think it stemmed from watching too much TV.

When I was younger I believed that I was the only person who could think. Strange, I know. I'm not sure how I decided this but for quite a few years I thought everyone else in the world was like a robot or a puppet.

Jamie

everybody else were robots and I was a human test!

Chas

When i was about 10 i used to think that everyone else in the world was robots and i was the only human! strange i know but i still think this sometimes! like the film 'The Truman Show'

Turnip

I used to believe that I was the only human God made... and that everybody else, like my family and friends, were just there to be a part of my life. But they weren't actually alive, just robots or something. And everything evolved around me and everybody knew what I was doing and thinking. Sometimes I still like to use my imagination and 'believe' that.

I used to think some random people were really robots in disguise! I even went up to people, I was 4 at the time, and asked them if they were robots!

Molly

I used to wonder if I was the only real person in the whole world and everyone else were just robots, or that maybe I was the robot and everyone else controlled me.

Anon

I used to believe everyone were robots once I saw an old man covered in tubes. I assumed that they had hologram skin and stuff, so I would repeatably poke people. then to prove that everyone else were robots I would tell people with fake arms or legs that thier holograms were acting up.

tyger

When I was a little boy, I believed that I was the only real person and that everyone else was either a robot or someone sent from G-d to test me. I would sometimes just sit in one place think about this for long periods.

Steven

Anon

Spikey

When I was little I used to believe that the world was full of robots and I was the only real human and when i would leave the room people would perform maintenance on each other and plot against me

Daniel

I used to believe that I was the only real person & everyone else was a robot

Jim Cameron

my belief is that me and a group of people are humans and every one else may be robots. another belief i have is the terracotta warriors are actually from the future and are waiting to attack. be prepared just in case.
