If I say I am not unique, then I become unique. Going with the "not unique."

Yes. But, as an aside, you can't be very unique.

Not a single person is unique because we all share many qualities, charactertistics with other people. If anyone was unique, they wouldn't be able to communicate with anyone, wouldn't look like a human in any way and essentially wouldn't be a human. Sorry to dispel this myth, but it's true.

No. Most people are stupid sheep, following every trend that they are fed by the media and totally incapable of independent rational thought.

    I have always tried to wear and do what I like. Despite the trends, what's in fashion, etc. So I guess the way I dress and portray myself to others. Also, I've had spine surgery, so I have about 4kg of Titanium in my back. That's pretty rare.

    I’m 15 and I have a a debilitating chronic illness that’ll last for the rest of my life 👍🏽. But instead of looking down and being upset about it I have a great outlook on life and plan to do big things. The illness I have is called type 1 CRPS. It kinda scary and I’m not saying this for pity, but so that if you ever meet anyone with it you’ll know what it is.

    Simple day to day things can get me worked up - paying bills, calling for a quote, grocery shopping etc. Big things, not really. Had cancer and when I was told my only thought was "well, that's cool, haven't been through this yet". Was a firefighter and the bigger the event the more I calmed down. It is like I have a "It's already a disaster so how much worse can it get" gene.

    Life is nothing but a series of events that we can use to have experiences. Some will avoid experiences as they label them as undesirable or harmful. Still, others will view an otherwise uncomfortable situation with openness and realize an experience that they will benefit from.

    I don't mind these, to be honest. It's abbreviations or straight out slang. What I do mind is when people religiously use the wrong grammatical forms for specific things, like the apostrophe for plural, for example, which is something mostly done by native speakers. Also, insisting on the "y'all" or "yall" because they want to emphasise on the plurality of the audiences they're addressing, without realising "you" is already plural (the singular forms exist, but are archaic). While, really, they sound generalising about their statement, and that's annoying. I could go on and on, but I think it's easy to understand what I'm saying. And, for the record, I'm no native speaker of English, it's the only real "foreign" language of all 4 I'm actively using in my every day life. I did major in linguistics, though. So I might come off a bit snobby.

    I like to think my synesthesia makes me unique! I’ve always loved having it. And even though I’m not the only one who has it, I still think it’s unique because there’s no one else who experiences it exactly the way I do. Sometimes I’ll hear a song that makes me feel purple. Or someone will say a word that makes pink circles float in front of my eyes and it still makes me giggle even though I’m used to it. Love my colourful little world. My only wish is that I could find a way to hook my brain up to someone else’s so they could get to experience it too!

    been surprotected by my mother during my whole life. This had desastrous consequences during my adult life (suffered a lot of it, and made others suffer as well, as i thought everything was due to me). Don't know nobody who had a teenage crisis so nasty than mine. If you're a parent, and i'd have one advice to give to you, love your children, but don't surprotect them. push them gently into life when time has come. They are not your teddybears, they have to thrive. Hope not annoying anyone with my probs x)

    I follow my heart. I love animals. I dress for me, and me alone. I decided a long time ago that it was a waste of time to worry about what other people think of me. Like 50 years ago, when some friend of a friend was mocking me about wearing white socks with blue jeans. It seemed so random. I am generally very shy, but also decided that the older I get, that I can be more out spoken. I try very hard not to judge others, because every body has to be themselves. As long as they are not deliberately harming someone else. Or animals. Or vandalizing property that is not theirs.

    I have a skin disorder called Ichthyosis Vulgaris, but it's mild. Ichthyosis is Latin for "fish skin". Coincidentally, I've always been drawn to water and the ocean and obsessed with mermaids. Some have tickled a theorized legend that people with scaly, flaky skin have ancestral lineage to mermaids going as far back as Atlantis times, and the people of Atlantis were well-socialized with mermaids, perhaps even breeding. Okay, that's a stretch lol. It's just something I've read in a book written by an avid mermaid swimmer. I just think it's fun. I don't care if I'm in my 30s. I like to keep my imagination alive.

    I've found myself doing this especially with Cockney, Liverpudlian and "proper" Londoner English. Southern American accents from Texas, Florida, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama can begin pouring from my mouth within five minutes or less. Maybe it's because I'm a natural mimic and love how humans use verbal inflections and speed and tonalities to almost "sing" meaning into their language.

BIL was in tears by the time call ended. He was laughing so hard. He said every time I spoke into the phone my accent changed, and when I spoke with him, and sister, I spoke normally, ( without accent). I always called it my " lazy ear" lol.

    Thank you. I didn't think anyone else did this either. Having lived in the south for 10 years, my first visit home I had a different speed of speaking different lilt to my voice and didn't say anything with what is described as a Canadian accent. BTW, we do not say it "oot, hoose and aboot". Thats just how people hear it because they don't hear the accent much. I still speak with a Southern lilt and I will always say the famous above description the American way. I probably always will. When I lived down there, no one could place where I was from because my accent was a mixture. I'm even known to still use y'all or y'alls. Its actually kind of handy. When I was visiting Bermuda on a work assignment for 3 weeks, at one point I was on a TV show being interviewed. I'd already been there 2 weeks. I had to concentrate to "stay Canadian"!

    My absolute destructive obsession is "sweet and sour." There is a product called "Hall's Vitamin C drops." Ohmygawd, they are my bete noir, my waterloo, my "just one more won't hurt" decline into total nirvana. Which leads to overwhelming pain in my knees. Sugar is an inflammatory and when I eat sugar I either get pain like you wouldn't believe or I break out in itching hives. I can't even eat peaches or oranges. So, virtual indulgence would be good.

    My genetics, for the literal part of my answer. I think I'm unique because I'm half Ojibwe and hold an "Indian Status Card" that allows me to live and work in either the States (USA) or in Canada. I have central heterochromia in both my eyes, hypermobile hands (whereas my daughter is a human Gumby), and both white and dark coloured birthmarks due to my mixed genes. I wouldn't say my personality is all that unique, at least until you get to know me.

    I have. Neighbor used to have a patch, that had lots of " mutated " clover. Only place I ever found them. Do you know what causes it? If I did, I've forgotten. It was a long time ago.

    Also I have natural immunity to TB and, it seems, all viruses - I hope that includes Covid - I can get bacterial infections but never had colds flu etc

    So I’m not sure if it’s unique but I can do a lot of things with my body I can -rotate both my wrists 360°+ -touch both of my thumbs to my wrists -get my arms over my head while clasping hands -lift the top half of my middle finger while the rest of my hand is flat -bend my middle fingers back 90° -walk silently I am also capable of walking while reading (because I’m a huge bookworm (hi to all the keeper of the lost cities fans))

    I can do a few of these (walking silently is a must in what I do) but damn, rotate both your wrists 360 degrees+ ?

    I was actually just fidgeting with a rotating stool one day and I remembered some person who could rotate their wrists so i decided to try it and I guess I can. And yes, walking silently is a must. Also carmen Sandiego is bomb btw. I love it so much. But season 4 tho…
