something you thought other people did

whats something you thought everyone did but then realized its not normal…
for me it would probably be that i would see a random stranger in public and make up a whole life story for them, for example the other day there was a dude in a hotdog stand and i gave him three kids, his dream was a being a professional skateborder, a lot of other details but i’ll spare you…

do you ever question your sanity? :thinking:

idk why i thought that was normal lol

I play pool (billiards) and a couple weeks ago, me and two of my teammates looked at a group of people and gave them teaching positions. ex. math teacher, english teacher, PE, weight training coach, sports coaches, ect. We were DYING LAUGHING because we literally visualized each person as what kind of teacher they would be lol

I thought it was normal to have a very active mind that never shuts up. (Neurodivergent/Adhd)

I thought that it was normal to obsess over the shape of words on paper.

When I was 6 years old I would look at every middle or high school kid and think that they were old wise adults and I should do anything and everything that I could to impress them.

Also I sing when i’m alone but as far as I know everyone does…
DON’T TELL ME IF THAT’S NOT TRUE I DON’T WANNA KNOW

I thought it was normal to visualize images when I read words until I saw a post on Ribblr about if you think in images or words. I also used to make shapes out of endings/beginnings on the ground like doorways, mailboxes, and pretty much everything for some reason. One more thing I thought everyone did was get a song so stuck in their head that they tricked their brains into thinking it was actually playing irl, but I’m pretty sure that’s just me…

oh yeah i do that too!! this isn’t really something i thought other people “did” as much as i thought they “were,” but i used to think every other person in the world, including my parents, was a robot. or just not real in some capacity. i thought i wasn’t a human either; i thought i was always asleep and eventually i’d wake up and be something else

(this was all when i was abt five. i still “feel” like i’m dreaming but i know i’m not. and i do know that other people are real)

i also see patterns in random objects. not sure if that’s normal or not but look at this floor tile and tell me it doesn’t look like a red mass of water crashing through a really big wall/dam and flooding the village below

also hearing unintelligible conversations in the back of my head, like behind my main thoughts. a lot. i can’t focus on them or they’ll fade away. kinda like auditory floaters i guess lol (not sure if other ppl do that or not)
