i'm different

i used to believe that i controlled lightening and thunder. i would go outside with a piece of a broken metal rod and bang it on the concrete. i would say that everytime the rod hit the ground lightening and thunder would come at my will.

Sometime in middle school, I realized I was a robot. The evidence? I never felt emotions. This scenario made me a bit sad, and lonely, but it didn't occur to me that these were emotions. By high school, it had clicked that this whole scenario made absolutely no sense!

When I was little I was convinced my parents and sister were spies. I thought they were planning to kill me, so every night, when they tucked me in bed, I always said some weird word like "bumbedoodiledi" or something like that and I thought that was my weapon and thats why they never actually attacked me.

I got it into my mind when I was about 7-8 that all grown ups could read my thoughts, I think it started with my dad always knowing whne I was pretending to sleep, this esculated into me trying not to think about anything naughty I´d been up to in fear of my parents finding out.

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.

When I was small I thought that me and my brother are aliens and that one day we were going to take of our costumes by opening the zippers on our backs. The funny thing is that even my brother thought the same thing.

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

the Wierd One

When I was younger I used to get paranoid about a lot of things, usually fixating on one thing for a while until I found a new thing to be paranoid about. I remember going through a phase where I thought that everyone in the world was an alien except for me, and that they all had a human form.

These aliens didn't like being in their human form, so would revert to their alien form as soon as I was out of sight, but were always in their human form around me to keep their secret. After passing someone going round a corner I would backtrack to try and catch them reverting to their alien form, but they were always too quick for me, turning back into their human form JUST before I could catch them... that went on for a while, I was a very imaginative child!

From about the ages of 6 to 11, i was sure that i was an alien test-subject/princess, and that when i became a grown-up, they would abduct me and take me to their planet, making me the alien queen. I never told my freinds of this though, as i didn't want them to get jealous, and also, i didn't want my alien spectators to know i already knew their plans.

when i laid my head down on my pillow at night, I thought that the beating of my heart that i could hear was tiny men, marching my nightmares into my brain. I didnt sleep much at 5.

I still believe that i have super powers. Not like the ones you would see on cartoons though. It is called rainbow power. Rainbows shoot out of my hands.

I used to believe that it was illegal to move when you were on an escalator. whenever I saw someone moving on one I always thought that someone was going to come up and yell at them

When I was about 8, I used to have conversations with my pet cats, because my friends were never around to play. To this day, I always thought that the cats understood me better than my human friends did...

The Crazy One

When I was little I used to think that everybody except
mum was spying on me and that they have hidden cameras everywhere.

I uesd to believe that the world was just someones dream and that when they woke up we would all disappear.

I thought there was an invisible rope tied around my waist, so if I ever turned one way, I always HAD to turn the other way so I wouldn't be tied up. This went on for a few years.

When I was young, I thought that I was something other than human. I was never quite sure what, but I was sure I could not be a human being. I thought that I would eventually find out if I tried hard enough, and that everybody around me were part of a conspiracy to keep me from finding out who and what I really was.

When I was 6 up until I was around 10... I believed that I was being raised in a city full of actors and they all pretended we were living normally, when I was really the star of a TV show. I always talked cautiously to people, never being rude because I was afraid that I'd dissapoint any viewers for my imaginary TV show which I was supposed to not know about.

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.
