i'm different

I believed that I was developmentally disabled and everyone around me was trying to keep it a secret from me.

I believed that good and bad days alternated so the first day was good, the next day would be bad, then good, then bad. So I would plan things by counting out the days to make sure that things were always happening on "good" days.

I believed that I was the only person in the world that would never die.

Between the ages of 5 and 9 I believed that I needed to complete a daily diary (which consisted of a drawing in felt-tip of nearly A4 size and a few words underneath as to what I did) so that when I was a grown up I could look back at what I did. I used to panic if I was sent to bed and I hadn't done the diary, and I would have to sneak downstairs to try and do it in another room without my parents knowing. My parents were amazingly sympathetic to my plight and would let me do the drawing at 11pm and then go back to bed because otherwise I screamed and panicked. What's funny is that I remember every day being nearly the same picture because what exactly does a 5 year old kid do that's exciting?

As if now I really want to look back at all that rubbish - what a waste of time! I'm surprised my parents didn't send me to see a shrink.

I still to this day believe that I'm the only real person. Everyone is controlled, and only I can think.

When I was about seven or eight I thought my whole life was all really just a dream and I was still only one year old dreaming all that stuff. I flipped and eventually I told my mom about it 'cause I was so scared that my whole life was just a big illusion and in reality I was still a baby and my mom told me that wasn't true (she would know since she can remember my life all the way back to babyhood so yeah) and then I could stop freaking out about it.

When I was like five, my older siste found a chicken leg bone in the back yard and she thought it was a dinasour bone and when she showed it too my perants, they enceraged her because she was little so I also thought she found a dianasour bone. She got so much attention bcause she found a "dinasour bone" So I went in the back yard and searched and searched untill I came across a white peice of plastic wich I though was a dinasour bone. I took it in to show my perants and wich is really messed up, they didnt incurage me, they toldme straight off that it was only plastic. But I kept it in a little cabinate of mine and whenever I was bored, I would hold it and talk to it because I thought I could talk to dinasours when I held it. Too much dragon tales I think...

When I was 5 years old, I used to believe that your age is when the day you were born.

Example:

You are 1 years old if you are born on June 1st, you are 8 when you born on October 8th, and you are 30 years old when you born on July 30th.

Dan Offer

I used to believe that i was the only real person in the world and everyone else was fake.

Gabby

When I was a kid, I was a bit of a tomboy. My lovely brother and father absolutely convinced me that I was born a boy but since my parents already had a son and really wanted a daughter, they had cut off my... genitalia in order to make me a girl. I completely believed that and was really angry at my parents for making me into a girl against my will. :-)

Lana

I used to believe that all adults turned into skeletons when I wasn't looking, and I thought the whole world was against me and always tried to trick me into their grasps but I always got away.


I'm now 24 and i have to peek and make sure no ones a skelaton.

Tim

i uesd to believe that princesses in nice dresses were my long lost realatives that wanted to make me pretty too.

I used to believe that I can float because I float in my dreams.

When I was 5 I thought my mom bought me at food 4 less.

Jessica

I thought that when anyone else cut a paper with scissors they had to flip it over and cut it again. Since I could do both sides at once, i thought i was special.

Tony

When I was a little boy, there was a house being built a few houses down from mine. They were always using a tractor with a grapple (bucket that opens & closes) on it. Whenever they started the tractor I would hear it and peek outside. Now with the sound, plus the grapple opening and closing, I thought this thing was a T-Rex trying to eat me!

When I was little, I used to believe that my best childhood friend and I where dragons that had been brainwashed and turned into humans.
We believed in an evil wizard named "Woo Woo" (pronounced who-who). Woo Woo's goal was to kill all the dragons in the world.
We believed Woo Woo was the one who had turned us into humans. So we went around the woods near my house acting like dragons (crawling on all fours, growling etc.) and looking for other dragons who we thought could change us back into dragons.

Sophie

I used to believe (And still do) that I was the only "Real" Person and that everyone else was just some kind of robot. I never care about others feeling because of how boring and "Unreal" other people around me were. I don't think I will stop believing this until I meet a "Real" person like me.

Lily

When I was very young, around 3-6, I used to believe I, my soul, would never die -- that it was impossible to die. I believed if my body died, I would get to be me in someone else's body.

Sue

when i was younger, I used to believe that what i saw was different from what everyone else saw, like that i saw humans but someone else saw aliens or clowns or something. i also used to think that people heard thing in their own languages too so if i said hi to the kid who saw aliens he would hear something in the alien language... I was a special kid
