In what positive ways are you "special?" In what ways are you special and you'd rather not be?

Asked by Mariah (25883points) April 7th, 2011

Everyone knows that being “special” can be really good, or not so good. What are the positive and unfortunate ways in which you’re unique, unusual, or otherwise interesting?

A all in one.

My stubbornness.

I like it because it makes me different from others.
I dislike it because I loose a lot from it.

But i managed to get the hang of it and live with it.

I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of this world. I am the toxic waste by-product of God’s creation.

I’m my own person, and I very rarely care what others think of me (at least on superficial topics). Unfortunately, I walk a lonely road, and the above may have something to do with it…

My specialness is both positive and a curse.
I’m reasonable.
That means I have to constantly deal with unreasonable people, who do not realize they are unreasonable.

Some things I like, others I don’t. It’s hard to go into detail with out sounding bad.

I don’t really believe that thinking we are special in any way is a good thing, because it detracts from the fact that we are all pretty much the same, and there is no need to feel alone or special.

I have to go with what @YARNLADY said. Anything that makes me fucked up or awesome probably isn’t much different than what makes other people fucked up or awesome. Thinking as such only draws us away from reality into conviction, and that probably isn’t anything good.

I think I have a psychological problem with pillows, sleeping bags, blankets and other soft things like that though. They’re a source of comfort to me, besides just being comfy to sleep in/on. I’m pretty sure it isn’t normal. But then again, it’s never hurt anyone. Most people think it’s bizarre, some think it’s cute, and to me it seems essential to my life without it being something like thinking I’m Jesus or being addicted to heroin. So I guess that figures into whatever point I was wanting to expend on lol.
