How come we like to pretend we're unique and not ordinary?

[Chthou95]

a lot of people when you tell them that most people do this or act this way, someone will always use themselves as the exception. "Im different" "I don't do that" "Everyone is different". You hear this stuff and people just want to make it out to look like they're unique and not part of the masses

Everyone wants to feel special. I was a precocious child in a blue collar town. I thought I was pretty f-ing smart. The. I got to college and I was still perhaps the most talented math student in my class. But Fter I started working in high tech and playing bridge (card game) seriously, I realized that there are a lot of people much smarter than me.

We are both as we are Intelligently Designed in the Amigo Dei, therefore, we are homogeneous in some ways and diverse in others. We all are different from one another (handprint/retina). Our Moral Code and Choice is what differentiates us from one another most obviously.
