i'm different

i used to believe that everytime i got an itch, aliens were testing me to see if i was still alive and could sense pain or an itch.

I used to believe that it was possible to have an object that completely lacked color. I spent a lot of time trying to imagine what this would look like. I remember staring at my mom's car trying to picture it with no color. I'm pretty sure she was confused by my response when she asked what I was doing.

I used to think when my dad took me places all the buildings we passed were props made out of cardboard apart from the place we went to.The place we went to would have been built by my dad and his friends the day before (of course). I also believed that all the people we met on these days out were my dads friends and they were all acting a part in this and pretending they didnt know my dad and were in disguises. I never thought this with my mum.Must have been a trust issue.

I used to believe that I was the only person in the world that the sun would follow, and I never watch someone work outside so they could have some shade.

My friend used to think that we were all dolls and somebody was just moving us around, making us go to school or work, etc.

A person with a weird friend

From the age of 3 i convinced my parents that i wasn't a human, i was a karrijack from the planet hotpoint (i got that name off our stove!) and humans hadn't found that planet yet so they didn't know about karrijacks. They lived in the "claus" (under the sheets) and had multicolor babies and talked in very high pitched voices and they carry things, like a postal service! Me and my mum were talking about this the other day and she admitted that for a while she actually believed me because i was so convincing and because she hadn't actually seen me been born ( i was born through cesarian)

When I was a kid for a short time I used to believe that the world only existed for only as far as I could see. I thought that aliens were creating the world around me just to watch me and see what I was doing. There was a period in my life when I was a very wierd kid.

When i was younger i used to tell every one that i was really an alien and was swapped with an identical "person" when i was little and came to earth. Mum always used to ask how i remembered everything from before i arrived and i told her "of course i did, cause how obvious would it be otherwise and we couldnt go letting every one else know my secret ;)"

I told so many ppl this i fully beleive it myself before too long and was quiet dissapointed when i was reminded of this story when i was older and realised it couldnt be true :(

I used to think that all the human beings in the world had died in some huge accident caused by aliens, and that my parents and everyone I knew were actually aliens who had taken on human form to care for me because they felt bad about having blown everyone up. However, I thought it was tiring for the aliens to remain in human form, and that they would turn back into their alien form every time I lost sight of them. So, I would spend a lot of time running back around corners and spinning around trying to catch a glimpse of the aliens before they noticed I could see them. However, I never caught them out, and I eventually decided that they had set it up so that my looking at them was what made them turn back into human form. That way, they didn't have to think about it.

When I was little I used to believe I was from the planet Xenos and was born from a unicorn, and was brought to Earth in a space ship and was a honorable rescuer of deer on the planet Xenos.

Ex Xenian

When I was a little girl I went through a period of time thinking that people didn't exist anymore when I couldn't see them (for example, when they would step out of the room or as soon as they were out of MY eyesight). Then they would magically reappear when God wanted them to come and interact with me again.

I thought I was the only "real" person in the world and everyone else was just there because either God didn't want me to be alone so he created "fake" people to take care of me, or they were part of my imagination.

when i was ikkle i used to believe that if i pretended to be a mouse for long enough, i would actually become one. So everytime i went shopping with my mom, i would scurry around the floor squeaking n nibbling at imaginary food - sad yes

Mouse-Girl

i used to believe that this wasn't my real life, but some kind of dress rehearsal of my life. i thought this was great because then i could just go to the real thing and change anything i did wrong in the rehearsal. i don't actually know where i got this from, but then, i was kinda odd.

odd child

I believed that I vas special, that when I grow up I will save the world somehow and make myself famous, that I`ll be the first one who will speak with aliens, that I will be the first one who will fly myself...

Ohh...childhood... =D

I used to believe that I was actually mentally retarded but I was SO severely retarded that I didn't even realize it. No one would tell me because they didn't want to hurt my feelings. I even asked my mom several times if I was retarded and people were just pretending for my sake that I wasn't. (The irony now is that my son is autistic and I am extra careful to protect his self-image.)

I went through a stage where I used to believe that I was a cat. I would "meow' and purr. Thank god I grew out of that one!

You Know My Name Already

When I was little I thought that my life was a tv show and everyone around me were actors. I thought I was the star, and when I was alone in a room, I would narrate what was going on. I believed this for years, and sometimes I still think there's a hidden camera in my office or bedroom.

(the bathroom had cameras too!!!)
