I hallucinate fireflies that are coloured silver or blue. Based on my previous research, these are just glints cased by minor problems in my vision cortex. i often see them whenever I get tired or in an extreme anger. One time when we had our investigatory project in school, our coach reprimanded us and I got really angry. I stared at her and I accidentally noticed that there were few silver and blue fireflies flying above her head, I picked those insects and she got more angry and taught there was something wrong with me. Years ago, I hallucinated dinosaurs when I have extreme fears or experience great adrenaline rush. These hallucinations didn't bothered me. i onced visited a mental doctor and he just said these were due to my anti-social behavior (when i was young) bcause I've had no childhood friends and it seemed that I grew up without siblings coz I was separated from them. I only had imaginary friends, family and world. I told my dad about these when i was younger and he introduced various sports to me and I go with him in outreach activities. I'm 16 now and i still have my imaginary friends even I'm no longer a sociopath. I'm a active in communty and an adrenaline junkie. is there something wrong with me? Pls help

If whatever you are experiencing is affecting your quality of life, the hallucinations, an anger problem, anti social behavior still an issue, then I would go back for more treatment.
As far as I can tell from reading online, people do not tend to grow out of sociopathic tendancies. In fact the only treatments that are helpful are if they can get in early like age 4 and during their grade school years. Reports from Drs say that once they reach puberty, a sociopath is untreatable. I don't know how true that may be, its what I see on the internet.
I can't say whether any other advicegiver on here happens to be a psychologist who specializes in diagnosing and working with sociopaths or people who say they used to be one. We are going to be pretty much as clueless as the rest of society. The only times we hear the word sociopath or psychopath is in connection with a murder when there are other tendencies that make someone a sociopath. So hon, I can't say whether there is something wrong with you. Sometimes,being different than others, not following the normal is okay and harmless. If the difference is something that becomes harmful to yourself or others or in the quality of your life, thats when you have a big problem and need to seek help, professional help. Doctors can be wrong in how they diagnosed you. Now that you are older, I would think it best to get in and get re diagnosed so you know exactly what you are dealing with and if there is some kind of medication that can help even out your life.
