Are you 'special'?

[Skeleon]

No, I'm not special.
And neither are any of you.
We're nothing but a bunch of glorified apes on an insignificant rock drifting through space as part of one of countless galaxies.
And that's the way I like it.

 

[ae86gamer]

I'm special. You just watch me. I'm gonna be the second girl to ever be in Formula D. I'm also gonna take away the Drift Kings title.

 

[oliveira8]

I'm special, right? RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!

Yes yes you're very special.... in your own way.

*Crawls into a fetal position holding Maxi*
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!?!?!?! *Cries*

I'm special, right? RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!

You arent are.

But I'am not! Weeeeeeee!!

Redrum, that's all I have to say...

I'm pretty sure you arent special...at all.

 

[Tech Team FTW!]

I'm special, right? RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!

Right...
: P
Like anyone could be as special as me.

Do I have to commit Redrum again?

No, but you will soon have an RROD imprinted on your flesh...
So will every Microsoft employee who had anything to do with the 360.
I will never understand why they released a product so prone to death...
But I will have my revenge!

We are all special, especially if we need to make threads to question why others believe so.

Nobody is special.

Except me.

 

[the protaginist]

well, I have especially pointy teeth, and extremely pointy ears.
I don't think i am, but i occasionally get thoughts that maybe i'm some elf-vampire...thing.

 

[EeveeElectro]

Of course I'm speshul!
I'm going to be a model/actress/singer/dancer/doctor when I'm a big girl

Nobody is special.

Except me.

Except you, obviously.

And me.

Because, like, one time I was given extra homework and I like totally headbutted the teacher and she like had to have a funeral and stuff.

 

[A Raging Emo]

I still believe I am.

 

[UsefulPlayer 1]

I'm in high school and I believe I'm special.

I'm not saying it will manifest itself into making me a great thinker or famous, but there ARE normal people, some different people, and then there is special people, like me.

 

[Overlord Nicy]

I'm special, compared to you puny meatbags. Doesn't mean I'll become something great or well-known.

 

[PirateKing]

To some extent I think I am. Or at the very least, other people think I am.
Some people have called me amazing or various other adjectives. A few people have a lot of faith in me and I try not to let them down.

Do you think you are 'special'? By this, I mean, when I was younger I believed that I was (in secret). And I'm not even talking elementary school, I mean high school. It wasn't until I entered college that I learned the truth: I am but one 'average' individual in a mass of six billion people. No, I won't become a rock star. No I won't become a philosopher. And pretty much, anything I do won't amount to anything 'meaningful' on a macro-scale. The only meaning in my life will come from small things: like friends and family (and all that jazz).

When I was younger, I thought I'd change the world in some way, or make some sort of impact. My 'problems' seemed like trials in a large meaningful scheme. But now, I know that this is all rubbish. Though I sometimes 'feel' special, I logically know it to be false. Recently I saw Spiderman 2 and when Peter Parker was going through his issues and life-tests, I suddenly had a resurge of 'that feeling' that I had when I was younger. But logically, I dismissed it because I suspect that it's some sort of human-programming/biochemistry. This poll will confirm whether or not this is true

So I ask you Escapist: Did you ever think you were 'special'. Going to become the next superhero? Or maybe there is 'something about you'; a hidden secret that others will 'never understand', or something along those lines. You get my drift =]

There Isn't an option for, Yes I am It's not a secret either. Im brillaint face it.

The reason why I didn't include this was because I was afraid people would choose it just to be funny =]

 

[Captain_Caveman]

[Unknower]

And the "No only psycotics think this" Is not such an option?

Touche. I'll add 'yes and it's not a secret either' in

I picked that one as an honest answer, only people who delude themselves think their special, reality crushes their fantasy's.

 

[fenrizz]

i have the same problem.
it's actually pretty depressing to realize you're just a little piece of an infinite whole universe

I actually find the notion to be quite comforting.
Nothing I do will ever matter, at least not in the big picture.
Sure, my family and surroundings may be affected, and it might matter to them.
But on a larger scale, my life is totally meaningless. just another organism in an infinite universe.
As stated, it's a comforting notion.
