Why do people feel the need to be special and unique all the time?

People need their ego stroked. They just don't realize they are enough just the way they are.

If you ever have seen The Incredibles this movie drives this point home. A Villain was created because the dad superhero shunned a kid who only wanted to help him. He grew up and created a way to give everyone superpowers. And in life God gives those people the abilities at the time they need it. Sometimes what makes a person truly special can seem quite ordinary. Sometimes what can make a person appear special to the world is just a mass delusion of humanity. God created you. You're one of 8 billion people. But you're beautiful and unique in your own way. There will never be another like you. Rejoice in that fact. You're just as God made you. Perfectly imperfect. But powerfully beyond measure and capable of bringing such beauty and light to a dark world. If more people believed this they would stop existing and start living.

They want to stand out, unique things tend to be more valued, natural diamonds are rare.

Well we’re not diamonds

A feminist teenager like yourself is pretty unique here on GAG, don't you think?

Because we all are. Just know your place in the world that surrounds you.

They are no different than you
Or me
We become who we are and what we believe is to be truth and in that moment in time where are you, we are special? We are different
And that's how we project our selves

Now in saying all the above you have to understand we only know what we know in this moment if time

What I mean by that is that life's different every day. Because each day we grow we learn we change with every level we experience

When we keep growing we hopefully becomes smarter , and we don't have a tunnel vision and see everything , just one way we learn that there's two sides to every story

When you live life with tunnel vision and we be compassionate about the things that we think and feel

We loose sight with many things because that means in that moment in time you are driven by EGO and having to be right all the time.. in that moment at that level or stage of life because you only know what you know in that moment

A nd that's ok to be that person . But its going to be a long road to all moment after that moment

The older we get , the more we understand see things in different new ways

Just because we see and believe something today in this moment. Doesn't mean tomorrow or five hundred tomorrow away we are going to see it the same way because from today those five hundred tomorrow is a lot of new moments of time.

And I can say with everything I have written , just because I think it or say it , in this moment doesn't mean that I'm
Right or have to be right
It means this is who I am today and every day I grow and feel and see things this way because I know after this moment there will be another one, and I will bring it all closer together to get to the right
answer. It doesn't mean that I'm special. It doesn't mean that I'm unique. It means I'm searching.\nAnd becoming a better person
And then I don't need to project to people who I am.\nAll I need to do is be myself and how others judge me is their problem , not mine

Everybody in this world is different, and I respect that they are who they want to be in that moment of time. If that's how you see people, that's how you see people, it doesn't mean that you're right. It doesn't mean that you're wrong.

What it means is your holding yourself back from growing because you're judging in the scene , both sides of the picture , it's two sides to everything
And that doesn't mean that there is a right or a wrong it means it's a moment in time that will change

But that's only if we can change

Because they’re worried about being the same and not sticking out and being just another blob in the person factory. It’s an identity cries for them

[Chthou95]

Because people have a hard time accepting that they're ordinary and that hundreds of other people share the same views and interests. They need to believe they're more than just normal

[AngryCarl3]

We're all unique. There's nothing special about that.
