When I was a child I used to believe that this world and everything in it , including humans, have been created for me.

My Nana told me that she was an Irish princess who lost her estate to the English and that I was one too. One day we were going to reclaim the throne.

My twin brother and I never had what you would call "imaginary friends." But what we did do, on a regular basis, was to take turns pretending to BE characters that we had invented. There were probably about 12- 14 different specific characters. They also ranged in age, gender, build, even race. Some of them were so outrageous that we've always been too embarrased to tell ANYONE about this! This isn't at all like multiple personality disorder, in that we were always aware that we were pretending. We've done this ever since we were able to interact, and at the present age of 49, we still occasionally do it for our enjoyment. I still believe, to this day, that we are to only two people to ever do this to the extent that we do!

Up until the age of 6 or 7, I believed that nothing or nobody else in the world had existed until I was born. It had all just appeared when I got here.

When I was little, around three, I was really concerned about what I wanted to be when I grew up. So, one day, I stood in front of the mirror and said to it
"I am going to be pretty, I am going to be atheletic, I am going to be smart" I said these things over and over. When I did go to school, it happened to be a very small school and I became my main three wishes compared to everyone else there. I believed this until year 8 when I went to a bigger high school and relized it mustn't have worked. I never gave my secret away though.

My best friend also had an imaginy friend name Giraffe he was an elephant(yea tell me about it) he lived his his head also.We would see them in our classes when they escaped from our head, chanting huray and running we would yell and laugh and point and yell Huray!And our teachers would wonder what was going on with us and soon began to ignor us but we had eachother and our friends. Well now were 13 and share 1 imainary friend because Nortan and Giraffe ate eachother,our new friend was a radioactive green pig named Ducktap we love him...were odd childern!

I used to believe that I was in a dollhouse and if I didn't behave like a normal person, the person who was playing with me would take me out of my house and put me in a different one.

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.

I used to believe that boys were like robots and had no real feelings, that they were not even real people.

When I was 9 after becoming interested in Barbie and the Nutcracker I slightly believed I was the Sugarplum Princess. And whenever we played pretend and it involved the Nutcracker story I would always make myself the Sugarplum Princess because I believed it was only natural since that was what I really was. And when I made a play of The Nutcracker for the class during our Christmas party I cast myself as the Sugarplum Princess because I actually believed I was really the Sugarplum Princess.

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 little i truly thought i was a horse. i refused to eat with my hands (since they were hoofs) and made my dad put up littel fences in the yard for me to jump over.

i used to think when ever I was not looking at someone they would turn into an alien

I used to think my life was a computer game and some giant somewhere was controlling my life off a computer. I thought someday they would delete me and then I would die. I thought this about everyone else too and imagined the personalities of their "controllers."

I was a huge lover of Cinderella when I was little. I was so obsessed with it that I was convinced that I was Cinderella in a past life (since we're both blonde). Soon, I seriously believed I was a princess, and I didn't do things I didn't want to because I was a princess for God's sake! I also only answered to the name Cinderella. My mom thought I was playing, but I was dead serious! This phase lasted for a few months!

I used to wonder whether or not any of the world was real. I thought that I was either an insane mental patient who was living only in his mind, or that all the other people in the world were actors.

I thought way too much.
