i used to believe that monsters were monitoring my every move, and would come and get me if i stepped on the beige squares on the carpet

five years later, i still only ever step on the brown squares

i used to bileive i would never die. When i was a little girl, i thought life was this really great thing created for me, and everything happened to amuse or to make me sad.. i thought i wouldnt die like everybody else! Its a pretty strange and self-centered belief!

I thought I made up the color name "beige." No idea why... I thought it would be an orangish color.

I used to believe that I was a wizard and that I could go into portals and fight little goblins and things!!!

Growing up, my dad would watch the news a lot. I then realized, of course, that I was thinking all wrong and that someone had to sit there in my mind and tell me what was going on in my head, just like in the news. I also had a stock ticker, but it wasn't stocks, it was just random numbers. This, however, became very tiring and I decided not to pretend my thoughts were news reports.

Up to the age of about 9 I used to think that I was still a baby and my life was all a dream and everytime I hurt myself it's just because I had hit myself on the bars of my cot or something and then I would wake up and live the exact same life but know what to do because I would have lived it already and I wouldn't get into as much trouble with people and they wouldn't do things to me that they have done. Now I know this isn't correct and I shall have to live my life the hard way, without knowing whats coming next!

I used to believe that the whole world was a virtual reality experiment where I was the only real person. I wondered if the room and the people in it existed in any sense if I left the room. Sometimes I wondered the lenghts somebody went to design things to make me think it was all real.

For that matter I still wonder if the world would exist in real sense when I am gone. When I don't percieve it does it make sense for me to think it still exists? Feel very scared and alone when I think I am stuck inside me for so many years and I am able to see the world only from this angle. Anybody else feel like this?

Only real person

i used to belive that all of my family was not realy my family and that i was either adopted or they was realy alians i never told any one this

When I was younger, I thought that I am a robot and every other people are examing me on everything. They are hiding many things from me, but they don't know that I know, so be carefull with me, you never know when I'll use my laser :)

I used to think I was a cat, so I'd walk around telling people this. I was about 3 or 4 years old then.

I have no idea why but, when I was around 4years old I thought I was a bear in some kind of costume. I told this to my brother and it took me 5 minutes to tell him because I was laughing so hard

My mother constantly told me I wasn't her child. She said there was a mix-up in the hospital and I had been switched with someone else. Many of my aunts and uncles called me a changeling because I was so different from my brothers, so it was easy to believe I didn't belong. I spent many nights wishing my real parents would find me and take me home even though I knew it was impossible. You see, the reason I was switched was because they didn't want a baby like me and they stole the "real" Theresa and my mom was stuck with me. And I knew it was true, my mom told me about it.

Theresa

Well when me and my friends were little kids we use to believe in our backyard a elf lived their and wanted us to go on a special mission to save the world from aliens. We though everyone was aganist us and we would use to be scared to walk aloe. We were pretty dumb

I use to believe that everyone could see through my clothes. I didn't really think I was wearing any. So one day I asked someone if they liked my shirt and they were like "I guess" but that didn't help me believe that people could still see me nakid.

When I was about 5, I had the thought that when people left the room and closed the door, they disappeared. I became afraid I was the only real person alive, and everyone else was just part of a test to see how I responded. Took me quite a while to become convinced that everyone else was just like me.
