kids: i'm different

i used to believe that i was really an alien and that my parents had found me in a mushroom patch wen i was born...as a matter a fact i still believe the alien part...but i hate mushroom so i dont kno how well that worked out.. i also used to believe that i could fly as long as i had my kermit the frog doll in hand..

I used to believe that to get a name, you had to go through a machine as a baby that would suck up your brain and analyse your DNA and give you a name that fits your personality. I thought this until when I was 14.

After watching parent trap, I was convinced that I had a secret twin living with my father (my parents split up when I was a baby and my father lived in a different country). For about two years after that I presumed that everytime i was with my dad my secret twin must be taking my place.

When I was 8 or 9 I thought that the world consisted of only 7 people and the role played for me and changed the appearance of my teachers, classmates, family and so on to make things happen in my life. When I was alone or asleep, they were in their base to find out what would happen to me next.

I remember at a very young age, realising that I was significantly more intelligent than children of my own age, and far more empathic, meaning I would never truly fit in as we weren't on the same level.

When I was young, I used to think the Santa Claus existed. With my brother, we put flour on the floor. The next day, we checked and there were footprints in the flour.
One day, when I was 13, my father told me it was him
who made the footprints with his boots.
I was frustrated but it was funny.

When I was around 8 or so, I made a poster with a list of instructions and tried to give it to my family. It said to make 2 copies of the poster and give them to someone else until everyone on the planet had one. They were then to report to the North Pole the following weekend (as in the weekend after I made the poster).

Once everyone was there, I planned on somehow opening a portal to a new universe, which would also have new laws of physics written by me (I had this image in my head of me typing these laws onto a computer). Among the laws were that no one could ever die and every fictional universe ever created would be made real. Once we arrived in the new universe, I planned on ruling over it as President.

I thought my younger sister could fly, because one time she jumped off the bed and went really far. I kept trying to make her do it again. I'm surprised she never got badly injured.

I used to believe I was Michael Jackson (keep in mind I was a little white girl and he was a little black boy). I couldn't understand why people laughed when I told them "my name's not Ashley, it's Michael Jackson"!

I was very hung up on superheroes when i was a kid... So i invented my own...
(The amazing) NAKEDMAN!!!
I was not completely naked though, i was wearing one of my mothers shawls as a cloak. I ran around the apartment yelling "Naked man, dadadada."

Since i lived on the first floor, this superhero died sometime when my friends just happend to pass by one of the windows...

When I was little I used to believe that my life was a TV show. I honestly thought that SOMEHOW there were cameras that watched my everymove.

I also believed that TV shows were other people's lives that I was allowed to watch. I just hoped MY show was as funny as some of theirs... and I also always wanted to go live with the Star Trek people b/c their life was cool! haha

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 little, i did believe that the land of Oz really existed. It took some people to brainwash me, but for the longest time, i thought i was dorothy, because my room is all wizard of oz. and i had a wizard of oz themed birthday party and my mom hired someone to be Glina. When she had to leave I ran up and begged her to take me with her b/c the people of Oz needed me there. I also thought that if i was in a twister, i would end up in oz. but eventually i kind of grew out of that phase. but still question the fact b/c when i typed in Map of Oz in Google images, Australia appeared. Now I am a teen and still think that oz really exists!

I used to believe that everyone else could read my mind. I thought everyone could hear everything I was thinking. I spent about half my childhood looking at people thinking the words GET THE KDFJFLKSDJ OUT OF MY HEAD!!

After seeing alot of movies i started believing that i was changed in the hospital and came from a rich royal family and that one day my royal parents will come to take me away ..

when i was little i thought that i was the only real person and that evreyone knew me and when i blinked evreyone turned into a monster..... i would always blink really fast trying to see if i could catch a glimpse of the monster people

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.
