Do you think you’re special?

Question

Why?

thatshydork · Accepted Answer

Growing up, I had two siblings, both of which are and always have been nice, smart, athletic, down to earth, artistically talented people and being their younger sister, that meant I was always in their shadow. They’re also twins which makes their shadow even harder to get out of. Anytime someone asked me if I had any siblings and I explained that I had two siblings who were twins, the whole conversation would immediately turn into being about them, no matter the prior topic unless the person I was talking to themselves were a part of a set of twins or triplets. Not that I blame them or my siblings, it’s just a bit frustrating at times and I’m sure you might be able to imagine how it can be difficult to live in their shadow and still believe you’re special in your own way.

As the youngest, I was also forced to understand when the older two wouldn’t come to important events in my life. Whether that be because they were too busy or my parents didn’t want them driving all the way home (my sister lived 2 hrs away at one point) or some other reason, it made me feel like I wasn’t important to them. I’m sure that I am, it just didn’t seem so at the time.

I was also forced to understand when my siblings would leave on Christmas Day to hangout with their partners, which, again, I don’t blame them for.

it was just tough showing up for the important moments of their lives when they didn’t show up for mine. After a while of living in their shadow and being forced to understand them not showing up or them leaving during holidays, it was hard to remember that I too had things that made me special. That I wasn’t just some background character. I don’t believe I’m special, but I’m working on it.

Yes I'm special because always troubles find me. There hasn't been any single part of my life that could be called normal.

I born with full blue back. I got my first blood from my vagina as an infant only. I happened to know about masturbation and that feeling at around age of 2 or 3. I knew about sex very early age. I got dreams to become scientist which was not usual thing. I got depression and fought with it my own without help of any doctors for 6 years and never tried to kill myself never harmed myself during that journey. I got my mom mentally ill who gets mental stroke every next year. An old man who had been his whole life lived with principals at age of 80 got sexually attracted by me. I got my first love at age of 26 that also LDR with 4 years younger to me of different ethnic whose mother tongue i don't know. In all the attempt of getting arrenged marriage I got rejection and rejection only and this much that my father got frustrated enough to throw me away and make me to marry any guy he gets. So yes I'm very special that I'm unable to have any single normal thing.

yes but not always in good ways

let's just say some ofmy specialness causes me to not have the type of crowd i want around me ( i am good with girls and all, never lacked female company in my life but when it comes to the male crowd i didn't have that much like and let me tell you even if i appreciate girls for physically/sexually i don't always have much appreciation for their company (think of me as a wolfdog that always ends it up with dogs while he wants to roll with a pack of wolves (twisted symbolism i know but the best i could came up with)

Yes I'm unique... because nobody is exactly like me. I'm buff, get all the pussy, and I hate women. With that said alone I am far different from most of these other people. I could say some other things and I'd make the percentage of people like me even smaller. Then I get into the details and that's what makes me super unique.

I'm pure cringe to some, infuriating to others, but I'm a golden God to a select few...

And the women I bang.

Not generally speaking.

JoePro_ · Answer

I'm not special. I'm unique. I think telling people they're special is an unauthentic way of trying to build self-esteem, but more likely creates a false pride and an arrogance in someone, especially those who grows up being told they're "special". And what does that even mean, really? Unique on the other hand actually means something. You're different from others. You have a different history, different experiences, have different skills and talents, etc. And because of those things, no one else is exactly like you.

Miristheiss · Answer

No, I am not special. No one is.

Everyone is "UNIQUE" as there is only 1 of each of us but there are 8 BILLION people and no one is more special than anyone else. Too many people already exist who think the world revolves around them. Too many believe they "deserve" the best of everything just because they exist and they have no obligation to work on themselves and to work on increasing their virtuous traits while fighting against their selfish, ugly traits. I am perfect just because I exist is the attitude of far too many.

BadApple69 · Answer

Because I care for others more than I care for myself. I volunteer 100s of hours a year to my community. I am the person people call when they need help. And I run towards danger when other run away. God didn’t make me pretty but he gave me courage and strength to helps who need help. God made me special.

I prefer the word, "unusual". "Special" sounds like it's always a good thing. Actually the ways in which I'm "unusual" are often more bad than good. For example, I'm extremely prone to substance abuse.

DagonbroughtMehere · Answer

Whatever Talents I posses have no doubt been mastered by another regardless what they do with them.

Whatever task I was created for can be fulfilled by another should I fail or perish before completion.

Whatever Influence I posses is greater or equal to mine elsewhere.

That is just the way it is.

Mr_twoface · Answer

Every human being is special in their own way and generally others see that speciality within you. Once it is brought forward or you've realised it on your own, it is what you do with it that counts. Make the most of it!

Everyone is special in their own way. It is what you do with it that counts. You get one chance at life, and most people blow it.

serious · Answer

Yes of course, in my own ways. Why? Well that is tough to explain in simple terms.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Yes, because I have an extremely hard time finding anyone I relate to.  I do not see the deficit of similar minds as a positive, I see it as frustrating and lonely.

Antheadragoon96 · Answer

In my opinion I am and am not. I am special because I am the only copy of me in this entire world and no one else can be like me but at the same time I don’t have superpowers like telekinesis which would have been so cool lol
