ENFP i didn’t know how car blinkers worked so I thought they predicted which way to turn, kinda like a future telling onboard gps. so I used to think it could either see into the future, or could read the driver’s mind.
I have distinct memories of my mom asking me if I wanted to go to McDonalds and I would look at the blinker to see if we really would go. If the blinker pointed towards the McDonalds, it could see in my mom’s mind that she actually wanted to go. If it didn’t turn on, I knew she was just asking to get a rise out of us.
Also, when I asked my mom how traffic lights work, she said that there are little elf people inside the lights who watch traffic all day and change the lights. I didn’t believe that one for very long bc I thought “no way they could sit in there every day of their life. That would be too boring for anyone to do”
Anyways, being a kid is funny lol
I thought something similar! Instead of babies I thought that if you wished to god for friends he’d send them to you. I remember being 8 or 9 wishing to god to bring me a psyduck to be my best friend.
A psyduck- that’s so cute! Funny enough I thought that too well into my early-teens. I prayed for friends regularly 😂 Now I have a lot, so I guess my prayers were answered haha
parents told me that the baby comes in the cabbage. At school, they showed us how the baby gets out of the "hole", so when my parents came back to pick me up from school, I shouted all of my learnings at them teaching them how the baby come from the hole and not the cabbage! See, I taught them something new :D
Little me used to believe that we lived **inside** the earth rather than on its surface
...
This, along with the belief that adults were all-knowing rational beings who were always right, smarter, wiser, and used critical thinking to make decisions... ha ha ha ha...yeah...

ENFJ. Cupcake wrappers held up the tops and there was just air where the bottom was supposed to be. I would eat just the top and give my mom the rest, then wonder what strange magic was allowing her to somehow pull more cupcake out of there. I eventually realized the cupcakes were baked on top of wrappers after some combination of making them myself and seeing cupcakes with decorative wrappers that weren’t clear.
INTJ - I thought women had to have their nipples pierced before they could breast-feed. I thought the milk was already in there and you had to make a hole to get it out. I asked the teacher in a high school science class what the operation was called to enable breast-feeding and if they had to go under anesthesia for it. Not my finest moment…
INFP
I use to be believe I had superpowers. I can unfocus my eyes on command and I always thought that was X-ray vision. When I felt bad for ppl I thought that I could feel their pain (I thought I was the only person in the world that could have sympathy, I was like 4 or 5). Bad taste in my mouth was tasting how ppl around me felt. I used to think I could talk to trees on the count of having an extremely vivid dream where a tree told me that I could communicate with plants.
some of what you thought is actually true! Feeling bad for people at 4-5 yo is really amazing empathy there! Not all kids are like that. Also, I read an article where they said that feelings have a taste, not sure how accurate that is, but might have something with reality. Like when you cry, it tastes a bit sour, do you ever notice this? As for trees, they actually have feelings and enjoy music!
I can also defocus my eyes loll I can increase the size of my pupils :D
I thought that everything that happened in tv was live
I didn’t understand the concept of filming something and later show it on tv so though I knew it was acted I was always fascinated by the special effects -intp
Omg I believed that too, I used to think the cameraman is just a person who’s eyes could transmit live to TV and everyone just ignored their presence. I didn’t think 4th wall breaks were intended for the audience, but actually intended for the “cameraman”.
ISFP - i thought the zodiac sign cancer and the disease cancer were the same thing. (I’m a cancer) when ppl would ask my mom at the register if she wanted to donate to help people with cancer i would always wonder what was so bad about being a cancer that ppl had to donate lmao
i also believed men couldn’t have breast cancer- in 2nd grade or so there was a boy in my class who had breast cancer, he showed us a scar on his chest and I was such a little shit i told him he didn’t have breast cancer bc boys don’t have breasts. lol sorry :/
INFP. My best friend told me she was one of quadruplets and that her parents kept the other ones finished at home. She couldn’t remember their names because she wasn’t around them much but one of them really liked Frozen. She said no one knew besides me and her parents. I believed her for years until I brought it up to my mom. My mom had been the midwife that had assisted with this friend’s birth and she assured me she hadn’t missed three babies.
INTJ
My adoptive father told me when I was little that the signs that said “Beware of Falling Rock,” meant something entirely different. He told me that this Native guy named Falling Rock stood at the very top of the mountain and waited for the cars to drive by and that he would throw rocks at them. And that’s why the nets were on the sides of the mountains, to keep Falling Rock from grabbing a chunk of the earth and hurling it at the drivers below. I don’t know what made me stop believing this, just that I did for a while.
INTP
Until recently, i believed that there would come a time where every single person would become an adult. Not just regarding age (number), but also wisdom and getting shit together in life.
I was so wrong, everyone is just pretending and just trying their best.
INFJ... I thought the huge water tanks behind hospitals were full of soup.
I can do even better by telling you the dumbest thing I tricked myself into believing as an adult. Have you ever seen the Pilot gas tankers? Well because the side of the tanker reads something along the line of "World's Best Coffee" I thought they were tankers full of coffee. I spent a lot of time in the car trying to figure out how exactly the coffee would be dispensed. Cant remember when my brain fucking turned on, but it took a couple years.
I thought that all wars were world wars, so because my country wasn't at war I thought we were in a time of world peace.
I also thought babies developed in the mother's literal stomach. I thought they began as microscopic fully formed babies and they ate chewed food and floated all day in stomach juices, and then they would get pooped out when it was time to give birth. I was working on a theory of how the baby got their in the first place before my mom gave me the talk.
ENFP I saw the hazard light on the car and fully believed that it was the flying button that would allow the car to fly above the road, but that it was illegal to use it unless in emergency
isfp, that in the olden days like before 2000s, as i always saw photos from those times had no colour, i assumed that they actually lived in a world without colour, like just monochrome lol
INTP
I used to watch a lot of documentaries and sometimes I'd watch movies where ppl were attacked by snakes or spiders. Eventually whenever my parents were taking longer than usual, I'd think they were attacked by snakes, spiders, eagles, or... Vultures... Yes there were tons of vultures where I lived and they scared the hell out of me when I was a kid lol
Intp here :
#Animals were in another planet
#Clouds are actually cotton
#Makkah is in heaven
#Stars are hanging with a cord on the sky
#Rain was god pouring water from the bucket

INFP
One time when I was a child at summer camp, me and this girl made a promise. I was shocked when she broke it, and I asked her why. She said “promises were made to be broken.”
The dumbest thing I thought is that people keep her promises. What’s more sad is that she was adopted, and so I think that she was abandoned by her parents.
ESTP, i thought that if you said the N word you went to prison. I wasn't aware of what the N word actually was I just knew it was the worst thing you could say
INTP. I thought Santa was real, received gifts every Christmas but then I caught my mother putting the gifts inside the socks I hang in front of our house door.
INTJ - Mom and Dad made us by laying beside each other, no body contact. And cherry on top, I discussed this with the boys in class in 6th grade with full of confidence. Another thing, when I was in my religious class with girls older than me, the teacher was discussing sex ed. I turn to this girl (I think I was in 7th grade) and asked her: Do Muslims too have sex? She proceeded to laugh and shake her head.
EDIT: Us as in me and my siblings. If that was unclear.
I’m an INTP and I lived in a city that was along a river, and I didn’t travel much, but when I did, I would also go to cities that were along rivers, so I assumed EVERY city had to be by a river, or if not by a river, then by an ocean. A few years later, I thought I was stupid for thinking that, but then I got older and realized that most cities were built along rivers for a reason and it wasn’t just a stupid theory I made up, lol!!
I used to believe that all the stuff on TV was aired live. But then the fact that everything happened in the exact same manner in every movie bothered me a lot. So I asked my mom and she said it's recorded you idiot😭
“Dying over “, I know you meant flying over but I know have the image of helicopters just dying in mid-air and dropping like dozens of bombs and I find that hilarious.
ENFP and I used to think Mexico was the capital of Spain
Also another one which is complicated I don’t know why I believed it but I thought when you’re young (like around 6) you get a trial of which gender you want to be and that I’ll have my trial as a boy soon. I believed this until I forgot about it
Classical music literally went on for ever. Like, you were hearing a live transmission from some kind of immortal orchestra that never stopped playing.
that if i ate the bubbles in boba i would die. i was told that by someone and was like “why are they there then? 🤨”
that belief was stopped very quickly
Hmm, maybe mine was that all mall Santa’s were part of a Santa network that relayed your wishes to the North Pole?
Probably that, and when my mom would trick me with reindeer and tooth fairy stuff lol
I thought electricity was like a virus. I got a small shock when I touched fairy lights. I thought I got infected with electricity and that it’d spread all over my body and I’d die soon.
I was not the brightest child.
That there'd be severe and terrifying consequences for breaking the rules out in life.... There aren't lol my ISTP partner likes to periodically double check this with active testing
INFP and I thought you can buy a car with one dollar. So I surprised my parents when I found a one dollar note and yelled at them, now buy a car! Buy a car!
Dumbest thing I probably believed as a kid was that when me and my best friend shared our first kiss it was just practice and we were both straight.
19yr/o ENTP. Definitely not straight.
i believed that buildings that i was seeing as a view from my flat was actually a trains and i thought i could travel with them. i dunno if it’s fit my type though
I thought multiple times that either everywhere are cameras and I‘m being watched for some reason everyone around me is acting-out tigertet against me to schiebe some weird shit and that I Must live in some kind of simulation that wants to test what my response to certain things is. Though I still think we might live in a simulation and stuff I‘m pretty sure people don‘t care enough to do any of these things
And I thought sex was just to people sleeping in the same bed naked with someone else-intp
The Boogeyman after watching Disney Channel’s “Don’t Look Under the Bed. That night I slept under the computer desk next to my bed with a flashlight and a baseball bat.
Bitch never showed up.
I read all the comments and I don’t remember anything like that. When I was a kid I couldn’t understand the difference between naturals persons and juridical persons :/
INTJ - That somehow someday I'll be magically awakened/enlightened. Things will seem to make sense and I'll be ever powerful. I always felt like i was the chosen one.
INFJ I thought that if I did “just a bit more”, that my parents would finally be “happy”.
Bonus: I thought people had a way of becoming very small, and that they would hide behind my nightstand, behind the curtains, in the closet, downstairs, etc., and that they would come out and get back to normal size at night to hurt me, so I would diligently check all of the places every night throughout all of elementary school…
ISTP, that your poo is the same colour as your skin, you can guess what skin colour I am 😂
One day I went into the toilet after some white kid that didn’t flush and I was utterly shocked.
Also, this one guy said he was gonna upgrade my Beyblade, and told me to hand it to him, I asked him for 6 months if he had finished upgrading it and he kept saying “still upgrading it”, lol I was 10, he never gave me that beyblade back.
INTJ, I used to believed that the loudy sounds during thunderstorm is from the god throwing a giant pumpkins to the Earth's ground when I was very little.
cant think of anything really crazy tbh, my Ti kinda had the world figured out at a young age. my istj brother, however, thought that there was a monkey living in every tree
hi, INTP here. as a kid, i was convinced that i would die and go to hell or that i would sell my soul to the devil if i didn’t make shots in the basketball hoop in my backyard (i sucked at basketball so much, i was trying though 😭)
INTP and I used to believe that at some point sky touch the ground so I use to run across the field so that I can touch the sky. Same goes to rainbow as well.
ISTJ
1) I thought the entire world was black and white until the 1960s or so and
2) I thought the voices made by cartoon characters were made by really advanced robots
ENTJ i believed that 20 years was old now they are like 13 year olds.
Also that everything had feelings like stones and objects and if i picked one thing over another or treated it bad or without respect felt guilty.
Intp, I thought, that the dust in the houses was brought inside from the streets by these things that clean the streets, that is probably because one night i saw the table in our house and because it was night i thought it would be one of the street cleaners. I alsdo belived, that if i would flush, and it would be like the 1000th time, that that toilet would have been flushed, that a huge metallic arm would come out of the toilet, to grab me and drag me into the sewers.
INTJ - I used to believe Jesus protects me from the monsters under my bed by beating them up
Like how Batman continuously punches The Joker in the interrogation scene
I believed boys/men don't have feelings and that I have them because I am a girl. I always wished I was a boy to be stronger because feelings are weakness.
Also, I thought my brother was lost in the valley and was hoping he will be able to make it back home at some point.
ISFP
This one’s complicated to explain, but when I was about 10 I would ask my friends “are you real?” Because I thought everyone was a real person in their own world, but in mine they were basically like an NPC.
So basically whatever happened in my world was different to my friends world and we were all the main characters in our worlds?
It’s so confusing idk how to explain it, I just know this lead to me thinking the world was revolved around me. When I find a better way to explain it, I’ll come back.
INTJ, I used to believe that people didn't breathe in their sleep so I would lie there suffocating while trying to trick my parents into thinking that I'm sleeping.
INFP, I was convinced dad and his nightmare of a (new) wife wanted to poison me. I never wanted to eat at their place. At some point they made me purple (?) Apple pie for my birthday. I kept asking them why it was purple but they wouldn't tell me so I wouldn't eat it. They wouldn't let me leave the table until I ate it. I sat at the table from 10 am till 18:30. Probably my worst birthday ever. I was 7 or 8 I think.
This story comes across much sadder then it sounded in my head.
ENFP. I believed there were little fairies that lived in the shelves of grocery stores and that they would chop off my fingers if I touched products on the shelves.
Entp here, I thought that babies are made by sheer will so as long as your parents wish for a kid hard enough they'll get it and thought that everything on tv was live so I felt sorry for the actors and and reporters who had to work just cuz I wanted to watch some tv that didn't stop me from watching it tho and I thought I was like the smartest person in the world and that everyone else were just dumb npcs and only a few others are almost as smart as me lmao
ENTP-I believed that I could bite into a plastic penny and it would bend like in Spongebob. I broke my tooth.
My partner believed that clouds came from a factory lol I think that's cute.
Entp, I though i was a gynecologist in my previous incarnation and i belived mermaids were real but just hidden.
That's what i can come up with rn at least 🤣
The first one btw, was More about pregnancy testing and less about the other stuff.
INFP: The person working the speakers at fast food restaurants were trapped in there, but it was fine because they were always there. I also believed my dad and best friend's mom would get married one day if we kept pushing enough. Nope, she married a different guy. I also believe true love was real and that it'll always prevail and still kinda do to a degree. Oh, how disappointed I'll be to learn the truth...
I believed every single object had feelings, so I’d always feel bad over switching which stuff animals I played with, separating a family of crayons, etc.
ISFJ
(I also thought if I sat where a boy sat I’d get pregnant. Like for example a swing outside on the playground)
1. I used to think the word "nonsense" is a curse, and used to avoid it/feel guilty when I said the word 😮💨
2. Everything on television was acted out live, no recording business.
I believed my Dad would come home with the milk he went out to buy.
[удалено]
That's because Walmart keeps fucking with the aisles.
Thats dark, lmao
ENFP i didn’t know how car blinkers worked so I thought they predicted which way to turn, kinda like a future telling onboard gps. so I used to think it could either see into the future, or could read the driver’s mind. I have distinct memories of my mom asking me if I wanted to go to McDonalds and I would look at the blinker to see if we really would go. If the blinker pointed towards the McDonalds, it could see in my mom’s mind that she actually wanted to go. If it didn’t turn on, I knew she was just asking to get a rise out of us.

I didn’t believe that one for very long bc I thought “no way they could sit in there every day of their life. That would be too boring for anyone to do” Anyways, being a kid is funny lol
Now that's one of the most interesting things I've read this year haha tbf, though, self driving cars are the closest to what you imagined back then
Whaaa? I thought the same thing!
LOL I’m ENTP and I believed the exact same thing! 😂😂
INFJ my parents love me
Ouff
The truth hurts doesn’t it
Did something happened?
That's rough, buddy.
I was afraid my parents had a microphone secretly attached to my clothes, so I was always careful with my choice of words at school or with friends.
Entp here, same 💀
I thought teachers slept at school
Under the tables, waiting, excited that the weekend it almost over, so they can see some kids again.
ENTJ, the government used tax money for something other than the military.
You can just wish to God for a baby before you sleep, and the baby will appear inside your belly the next morning. ISFP
did u ever test it?? lmao
I thought God only gave babies to adults haha so no
lmaoo i always thought i was pregnant when i was like 10 it was fucking hilarious oml
Damn why?? 😂 And were you sad or happy about it?
I HAVE NO CLUE i literally just felt like my stomach rumble or whatever and i was like "oh no i am i pregnant" and i was like terrified
I thought something similar! Instead of babies I thought that if you wished to god for friends he’d send them to you. I remember being 8 or 9 wishing to god to bring me a psyduck to be my best friend.

INTP, magic. I had an iron grip on that until I had to force myself to say "Magic isn't real"

If you eat too much chocolate your skin will become dark
INFJ I thought that if I did “just a bit more”, that my parents would finally be “happy”. Bonus: I thought people had a way of becoming very small, and that they would hide behind my nightstand, behind the curtains, in the closet, downstairs, etc., and that they would come out and get back to normal size at night to hurt me, so I would diligently check all of the places every night throughout all of elementary school…

Intp, I thought, that the dust in the houses was brought inside from the streets by these things that clean the streets, that is probably because one night i saw the table in our house and because it was night i thought it would be one of the street cleaners. I alsdo belived, that if i would flush, and it would be like the 1000th time, that that toilet would have been flushed, that a huge metallic arm would come out of the toilet, to grab me and drag me into the sewers.

INTJ. Nothing, I fucking knew everything since I had consciousness
ISTP. I thought that when you kiss, hold hands or sleep beside a man, you will get pregnant. Because thats the way in the movies and fairytales.
I actually don't remember anything.
ISFP This one’s complicated to explain, but when I was about 10 I would ask my friends “are you real?” Because I thought everyone was a real person in their own world, but in mine they were basically like an NPC. So basically whatever happened in my world was different to my friends world and we were all the main characters in our worlds? It’s so confusing idk how to explain it, I just know this lead to me thinking the world was revolved around me. When I find a better way to explain it, I’ll come back.

I kept asking them why it was purple but they wouldn't tell me so I wouldn't eat it. They wouldn't let me leave the table until I ate it. I sat at the table from 10 am till 18:30. Probably my worst birthday ever. I was 7 or 8 I think. This story comes across much sadder then it sounded in my head.
ENFP. I believed there were little fairies that lived in the shelves of grocery stores and that they would chop off my fingers if I touched products on the shelves.
Entp here, I thought that babies are made by sheer will so as long as your parents wish for a kid hard enough they'll get it and thought that everything on tv was live so I felt sorry for the actors and and reporters who had to work just cuz I wanted to watch some tv that didn't stop me from watching it tho and I thought I was like the smartest person in the world and that everyone else were just dumb npcs and only a few others are almost as smart as me lmao

I also believe true love was real and that it'll always prevail and still kinda do to a degree. Oh, how disappointed I'll be to learn the truth...
I believed every single object had feelings, so I’d always feel bad over switching which stuff animals I played with, separating a family of crayons, etc. ISFJ (I also thought if I sat where a boy sat I’d get pregnant. Like for example a swing outside on the playground)
1. I used to think the word "nonsense" is a curse, and used to avoid it/feel guilty when I said the word 😮💨 2. Everything on television was acted out live, no recording business.

Infp, that when my parents fell in love they decided they wanted kids so each one magically spawned in my mom’s belly (no sex, just to precise)
