We aren't special

I've been thinking a lot lately. A few of my friends are those people who say that everyone is special. I don't think I can agree with this anymore. I've met so many people, from very different backgrounds, with different niches in society. Just a couple years back I managed to hang out with groups of people who were polar opposites. Do you know what I realized, after getting close to them? We are all essentially the same. True, there's the personality differences, but those are very minor. Personality seems to just be a facade. At first I found this repulsive, as many of you probably do. But now...I find a little comfort in it. We are all the same. We are mannequins, trying to stand out by covering ourselves in what we think will garner attention, but you know what? I don't think it matters. Because deep down, we all share the same problems, and most of us, the ones who don't try to be "special" in a bad way, find the same comforts. In fact, the only sincerely individual people I know are ostracized for it.This is because special isn't always good, and most people who claim to be special aren't. No matter what you feel, someone else out there feels it too, and they're making it out alive. So can you.

Wow. Humans are very much the same in may forms. but the thing about being human is that WE are all unique. Maybe not always special, but defiantly not all the same. You just have to sometimes look for that persons "special" feature. And if you cant find it then you need to open your mind. Close minds only bring negative to the world.

I don't agree with you.
This seems a bit close - minded.
Everyone is different, everyone is special, everyone has secrets, things that make them click.
I've met few people who act alike.
It's sad, they find the need to copy others to what they think is right.
I hang out with people who don't act like anyone else.
...and I love it.
They're different, I'm different.
I know there's no one like me.
Sure, people have similar traits or beliefs or whatever but everyone has something different, something that draws you too them.
Next time, keep your eyes open.
Perhaps you'll find something true.
Take care.

I appreciate what you wrote. I agree with it and it helped me so much to know that you are me and I am you! We are all one. Science will prove what the mystics told a millennia ago.
