This Online Group Shames People Who Think They’re Better Than Everyone Else, Here Are 30 Of The Cringiest Posts
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be special. Singular. Loved. Adored. However, the fact is that we have too many things in common with the people around us to be truly unique. Instead of celebrating that, some people do their best to stand out in whatever way they can. Their attempts end up being so edgy, cringey, and embarrassing, that they end up on the ‘Not like the other girls’ subreddit.
With over 675k members, r/notliketheothergirls is about shaming those people who put down others and hate mainstream things to feel special about themselves. Have a look through some of the most popular posts featured on the subreddit, upvote the ones that caught your attention the most, and let us know your opinion about why some individuals go to such lengths to seem unique.
Unfortunately, the sad reality is that even with all the progress that we’ve made when it comes to equal rights, there’s still a lot of hate in society. For anyone who’s different. For anyone who stands out too much. Minorities, in particular, are very vulnerable.
I spoke about letting go of hate for others who might be different from us with British psychotherapist Silva Neves. He was kind enough to go in-depth about this with Bored Panda and noted that very often, people who have hatred towards others actually hate parts of themselves. However, that’s not the only theory.

I Saw This And Thought It Was A Really Interesting Take On “Not Like Other Girls”
Your wish is the list's command I guess. LOL. Made it to number 1.
Load More Replies...It’s not just about these negative traits girls are said to have. I always felt I was 'not like other girls' because I didn’t care about makeup, clothes, the latest celebrity gossip etc.. By now I‘ve understood that there are many girls & women who care about this stuff and many who don’t. But growing up, I didn‘t know that. Tv ads for girls were about makeup, playing with dolls in pretty dresses, ponies etc.. Ads for the toys I liked - video games, toy cars etc. - were always targeted at boys. Thus, I always thought I was weird and not feminine enough. But I AM feminine. I just happen to like video games and not like makeup. As many other women do, too. And this is not only about children: I prefer potato chips over chocolate. Now next time you watch tv, pay attention to how many chocolate ads and how many potato chip ads are targeted at women & men.
Also too many people think it’s an either-or kind of deal. For example the loads of women who like both makeup and video games.

This one made me think. I'm not a girl, I'm a boy who turned into an old man. This made me think.
It's all very well to say that it was put into your head by patriarchy etc. What if, you as a female, were told that parents wouldn't support you in any way at university (then free of fees in the UK, living expenses only) because you were likely to get married and not have a career, whereas your 3 brothers were welcome to. Older 'girls' aren't moulded by the misogynistic View, the bl00dy lived it.
Most girls are smart and strong and beautiful Most girls, work hard, go far, we are unstoppable Most girls, our fight to make every day No two are the same I wanna be like, I wanna be like most girls https://youtu.be/qBB_QOZNEdc

I was 16 when I realized I was tired of judging other people. I started to notice my mother had a negative comment for each and every person who randomly wondered by. I saw these heavy women walking into the store, we were in the car stopped so they could walk past and I knew it was coming, my mother said how they shouldn't wear what they were wearing and they looked horrible. I looked at her and said, "Why do you care? You don't know them, you will never see them again, so why was it such a burning urge for you to say something." Recently had a guy friend say a girl on the beach was hot, then took it back and said she could use a burger. I looked at him and told him "And we could use a gym, that dude over there could use a hair cut. This is so much fun, voicing completely unwanted comments about strangers." He got the point.
Oh, that started out on Judgmental Ave. and took a turn onto This Is Absolutely Correct Lane. Love it!
I was all "What and absolutelly asshole you ar... ok, I agree with that".
Load More Replies...I have zero problem with the looks of it. I just think it's gross in a physical way and I spent my life pulling my undies out of my butt crack, why would I buy something that is made to go in there? But I'm not going to criticize someone else for doing it. (But don't sit on my couch without a towel.)
Literally Every Woman I’ve Met Has Gone Through This Phase- I Think This Is Why
Because having independent thoughts and interests is what makes everyone unique. This notion that "if everyone is special, no one is special" (thanks for nothing, Pixar) is self-debasing bull.
I've never had this phase cognitively. I was always an outsider from the mainstream world regardless of any gender. Whatever my piers liked, i liked the opposite. Just beating my own drum without any care in the world~
The definition of unique is “being one of a kind.” We are each one of a kind. No matter what demographic group, you can expect to find huge diversity within that group. Over and over again—that is the only constant. So, although we are all unique, understanding that goes miles towards a healthy empathetic open-mindset
The ‘Not like the other girls’ subreddit has been active since September 2017 and is about people “trying to be unique by defining themselves outside ‘the norm.’” However, the results are usually terrible and prompt internet users to post screenshots and photos on the online community. As a warning to others on how not to behave. As a form of amusement for some.
“Do you think everyone else is trash? Do you think you're the only unique person on the planet? Do you constantly feel the need to press down others in order to define yourself? Then this is the place for you,” the moderators introduce the community full of ‘unique individuals’ (i.e. their members) who are ‘standing out’ (i.e. online at the moment).

I used to buy bath bombs with little plastic dinosaurs inside because they made my evening baths more thrilling. Nowadays, they don't produce these dinosaur bath bombs anymore unfortunately so I stopped using them.
Bath bombs are amazing and absolutely appropriate for every single person that takes baths.
New On This Community, And Noticed That Some Aspergers Love Gatekeeping Non-Autistic People
The post was 15 hours ago. The comment only an hour ago. But I agree... EESH!
Load More Replies...As a neuro-divergent female I can attest that we are just as if not more difficult to be around than other humans...
I have Aspergers and I think what she is saying is that we get along really well with men simply because the emotional and behavioral aspects of Aspergers make us like "one of the boys". This may or may not be accurate, but I've felt it too.
Whu…? Ok, well: as an female with Aspergers (or high functioning autism, whichever one prefers), I constantly notice people reacting the same to you as everyone else. Which is according to how you behave towards them. For fùcks sake. Autism makes us autistic, no more, no less.
As a female with Asperger's, I am shocked ANYONE would think that you are better because of Asperger's. EVERYONE is just as good as everyone else. I HATE it when people with autism, Asperger's or whatever think they are better. NO!
Actually, the first girl wrote "guys like her better," not "she is better." Aspy is complcated and sometimes trying to find positive spins on it actually helps people with it. So I think it may be time to take a chill on this!
As a therapist who works with friends blessed with aspergers, I find this statement honest and insightful, indicative of the non-BS manner we value in this population
The behavior that we criticize in "other girls" is also the behavior that we are brought up to emulate. The hyperfocus on appearance, finding a rich man, the making yourself smaller or less important, feelings of insecurity, etc. The things we attack women for are the very things women were brought up to value. It is a no win situation. Act super feminine, get hate for that, act too masculine, get judgement for that.
I dated a few guys you didn't think I brought enough drama... one in particular wouldn't admit it but he didn't get "butterflies" with me like he did with the toxic psychopath he dated before me or the "former student" he dated after me. On dates he would spend a good portion of the time talking about social drama at work... It took me a while to realize he liked drama and I didn't bring it.
I would like to apologize on behalf of this person for making other autistic girls look bad
Something Wholesome For Once
Ahhh the numbers game.... a real life telemarketer
Load More Replies...I know I might be nitpicky in this case and my apologies if it offends anyone but the woman in the meme is the Indian Ben Shapiro for all intents and purposes. She should not be used in feminist memes considering the most offensive and horrid stuff she has said about her fellow female actors as well as minorities in her country. She literally was blocked by Twitter for inciting violence against minorities.
What does he mean with "extra make-up"? Is there a "normal" volume, and whould he be able to discern a woman with little make-up from a woman with no makeup?
I don't wear any makeup because I don't like the feeling of cake on my face.
According to British psychotherapist Silva, there is a theory that people hate those who embody traits that we’d like to keep secret ourselves. In short, we hate others because we recognize ourselves in them. If society acts as a mirror for us, then hatred is an unhealthy reaction to the truth.
“One psychological theory is that we tend to hate the people who remind us of a part of ourselves that we don't want to acknowledge. For example, if someone has body issues, they are more likely to be hateful towards a large person,” he explained to Bored Panda. This is applicable when analyzing hatred of other groups of people as well.
Ben Listens To Mozart, He Is So Quirky
“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
He did write "#yupisaidit", which to my old eyes looks like "yup, i's a idit"
Load More Replies...Shapiro loves "facts don't care about your feelings", proceeds with "I feel like...", and then states his opinion as fact. How Shapiro speaks is how morons think smart people sound. He constantly contradicts himself and offers opinions, not facts, but the chuds are nothing is not easily grifted, so...¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Mozart is good. I enjoy listening to his music sometimes. I don't like this person using that music to prop up his ego. He wasn't even talking about the music at all. He only talks about himself. Which is not much to talk about.
"Mozart is better because I say so". That's not what I call humility.
I Think This Belongs Here By Technicality
For Real Tho
Exactly. The same applies to boys. It's not about misogyny, misandry or the patriarchy. It's about the simple human need to be liked. To not be alone. Our psyche reasons that to achieve that goal we need to adopt some characteristics of the group to which we aspire.
I agree, but this is specifically about how we are told we can only achieve that by putting other people down, belittle and devalue them, that's something different.
Load More Replies...I concur, your combination of influences and predisposed traits will make you unique.
Load More Replies...“Some who represses their sexuality or are uncomfortable with sex are more likely to be hateful towards people who are open about their sexuality or who look sexual,” the therapist continued.
“If we go by this theory, it would mean that people have to learn to accept the whole of themselves and learn to love themselves fully, and then they won't have to project the hatred of themselves towards others,” he said that only through self-acceptance can we let go of hate.

Load More Replies...Honestly Though
Carrie, Zootopia, Wonder Woman 84, those are some movies where the nerdy girl turns into the villain
I never saw Carrie as a villain, just a sad, bullied, abused girl who finally snapped
Load More Replies...Actually, I think the movie “Mean Girls” told us that we are all a mean girl, in the end. I mean, a lot of the drama that happened was the fault of the girl who was obsessed with hating the cheerleader. Kind of an “everyone’s the a$$hole” situation in the end.
Makes me think of that 30 Rock episode where Liz Lemon was under the impression she was bullied for being different but it turned out everyone from school hated her because despite being "quirky" and "nerdy", she was a huge bitch to everyone. Lol!
Mean Girls, too. Tina Fey is really adept at writing well rounded, if ridiculous, femininity, in terms of capacity for both kindness and cruelty.
Load More Replies...Because usually,seriously, the cheerleader types while not all, are some of the biggest dementors of the high school, junior high, middle school world.
Because the popular girls are the majority (hence "popular"), and they usually bully the nerdy ones.
Popular means they’re well liked, not the majority.
Load More Replies...Because nerdy girl is either side character that doesn't get much screentime, or main character that gets unnecessary makeover and ends up being "just like other girls".
Actually just watching doctor who DOES make them superior to non watchers so..
However, that’s just one theory. Another theory looks at learned behaviors and how our families and environments shape us. “Many people grow up being told to fear those who are different or look different,” Silva said.
“For example, people grow up to believe that black people are dangerous, Asian people are threats, gay people spread disease or sin, etc... These messages can turn people into being racist or homophobic,” the expert explained to Bored Panda that according to this theory, hatred is something that’s learned from one’s environment. Only education and experience can counter this.
Say It Louder For The “Not Like The Other Gurlz” In Da Back
Liking popular things doesn't do that either. You might have regular brains but you need to think by yourself.
Well, you can think for yourself and decide that you like the things that are popular.
Load More Replies...Please just quit pretending. You'll like some stuff and I'll like some stuff. Maybe we'll both like the same stuff. In the grand scheme of things all this means is precisely nothing. Nothing at all. So just go off and enjoy your stuff. If I see you at a gig, that's great. If I don't, that's great too. Now, go get on with your life. As you. Good luck!
And pretending you like popular things just to be like everyone else is sad.
I like what i like. if it's popular, ok. if it's not, ok. liking popular things just means you have more people to talk about it with. but i'm an introvert, so i only like to talk to a few people anyway.
When I do, my only defence is that I shut up about it. Pìssing on what people like doesn’t make you cool, it makes you a douchebag.
I'm not like other girls, because I like (insert very popular tv show, film or band).
A friend I know said that the "cool kids" at our school were the ones doing drugs.
Often what is popular is paid for by the companies that run that industry. It has nothing to do with the actual quality of anything.
"She Was Not Like Other Girls"
But at the same time they are pretty, feminine and good lookind and they always end up dressing up.
The inevitable make over because she has to get dressed up to sneak in and fight or is acting as a diplomat. Oh yes, it always happens at the end. She has to be edgy, not like other girls, but at some point she had better be pretty too.
Load More Replies...And they're never "conventionally beautiful" either, "her mouth was a little too full and her eyes too big for true beauty"
Hair too thick and curly, breasts a little too small, bonus points for mentioning that she doesn't need a bra because they're sooo perky.
Load More Replies...As one of my favorite posts of all time said, "The f**k did your last girl do, photosynthesis?"

“Just because I’m a master ninja, have got tits the size of beach balls and am beautiful beyond what words can describe, it doesn’t mean I’m not also smarter than Einstein.” There’s something wonderful about relatable, realistic female characters. I could say a thing or two about male characters too, but that’s another subject for another time.

Most anyone who says 'I'm so quirky or weird' is probably not either of those. If you really were, you woulnd't have, nor feel the need, to tell people.

Unfortunately, many of these people are not willing to expose themselves to different realities. So, I suppose, one way to eradicate this kind of hate is by changing society at its core and stopping the mindset of fear at the source.”
My Sister Posted This On Facebook. She Definitely Wears This
Man we really f****d up women’s self image seeing how this is even possible. This isn’t a coincidence, this isn’t dumb luck, this is a never ending desire to fit in and look the part. I just wish people liked themselves more to not put others standards above their own happiness and comfort. This outfit looks nice, but they consciously went out and put this together because other people said it was cool. Is it fashion, or is fear of being looked on as different? Thought ended.
Maybe she was being funny? Some girls have sense of humor too, you know, though this concept is hard for some to grasp.
Where has this thing of girls/young women standing with their legs crossed at the ankles come from?
Poor Girl
Watched the movie. It was okay. But to be fair, high schoolers sometimes think that their minor problems are greater than the previous world wars put together. That's teenage years for you. Unfortunately, not many people grow out of this phase. They take it into adulthood.
Yes, because at the time it is HUGE to them. High school students are learning how to deal with these new complex emotions. We do little to teach them and mostly tell them they will grow out of it ...which just invalidates their feelings.
Load More Replies...There will always be people who are more miserable than you, but it is not a reason to put others down and invalidate their feelings.
It's an obvious joke. Sometimes humor is based on exaggeration and self-irony. Why does this need to be told every time it's a young girl/woman joking?
Probably for the same reason it needs to be told when it's a young man joking. Some people just don't get certain types of humor.
Load More Replies...Sadly my high school experiences were marred by extreme mental and physical illness.

People at my school cared a lot, unfortunately. I was accused of cheating on my boyfriend (which I never did) and called everything under the sun. "S**t, whore, girl who sleeps around, etc." Kids are cruel. I'm now 26 and still a virgin.
I got that all the time at school too. I wasn’t into what they were and hung out with a group of 6 guys. My parents loved them and were glad that I had great guy friends. They didn’t need to worry about me walking anywhere or being harassed. (This was 89-94 during the school girl killings in southern Ontario). We shot pool, watched action movies, played video games and goofed around. I still talk to most of them and their wives. They truly were my best friends for years.

I’m Not Like Other Sunflowers. I’m Dead
It is not going to die. Plants use chlorophyll in their green parts to produce energy. They are exposed to sunlight regardless of the way the flower is facing. From ripleys.com: "Although popular culture has embraced the myth that sunflowers always follow the sun, this is inaccurate. Only young flowers “move” to face it throughout the day. Once they reach maturity, they stop sun-tracking—their blooms forever turned eastward."
So it’s just an old sunflower that’s sick of the rat race. Same sunny, same

A 17 Year Old Girl Doesn’t Know Who Van Halen Is, Shocking
Van Halen actually responded to this, "If you haven’t heard of @billieeilish, go check her out. She’s cool. If you haven’t heard of @VanHalen, go check them out. They’re cool too. Music is supposed to bring us together, not divide us. Listen to what you want and don’t shame others for not knowing what you like.
My sons know Van Halen, Meatloaf, Poison, and tons of other musicians and bands. They also listen to a bunch of new stuff. Having my youngest rocking out to sweet child of mine pretending to be Slash on guitar at 7 was great. I’ve tried to teach them to listen to everything and that they can like whatever music they want and it doesn’t have to be too 10 on one station. They even listen to classical and country. The only one I regret is my 18 yo now being into sea shanties. That gets old quick. Lol

Just remembering when April Lavigne announced David Bowie. She stumbled and pronounced it Bow(like take a bow)ie.
To be fair though, it's not like van Halen are some obscure niche band.

What's with teens & acting like depression is some sort of quirky personality trait instead of a painful mental illness? It doesn't make you better than anybody else, it just makes life harder.

Depression may affect music taste, but it doesn't "refine" anything. It's not "classy" to have depression. It sucks. You can be classy as much as you want, but don't hate on music artists for no good reason. Saying "I'm not like other girls" is like trying to claim to be a chicken...in a chicken farm. No, we're not all the same, but there aren't "basic [redacted]" and you. Everyone's special in their own way, and it's not you against the world.

'True' punk was a very short-lived fad that degenerated into typical music-industry fodder within under a year sometime back in the late '70s.

"Hate" is a really strong word. "Extremely absolutely dislike" her or "Can't stand the living daylights" of her are other things to say unless you really mean hate. Personally, I agree with John Baker...I don't care one way or the other. (And I am a girl)
I just don't freaking care about her music, I'm sure she's a nice person but I'm not into her stuff. If other people like her that's none of my business, do what you want.
So I do hate some popular things more because they are so popular because you feel you can't escape from it. Like, I disliked the Kardashians, then I hated them, then that developed into an irrational hate because I was just so tired of hearing about them. I don't hate things for the sole reason that they are popular, but something that I really dislike that is also very popular will make me dislike it all the more.

We are extremely alike and have the exact same taste in music, movies, books, lifestyle, and degree choices. So I guess when you do find another girl who is like you, they are really like you, like spot on.

Getting Those Not Like Other Girls Vibes
Imagine thinking you're unique for listening to pretty much the most mainstream rappers.
Why do they always have to announce that they are not like other people? Isn't that something that everybody already knows, it's just an understanding by all, that doesn't need to be spoken? That's like being a guest in someone's home, and getting up to go use their restroom, then stopping to tell everyone " I'm going to the bathroom", and then once there, before you shut the door, you tell everyone the reason you are in the bathroom is, because- " I need to use the bathroom" . Then coming back from the bathroom, you stop to tell everyone, that you are coming back from the bathroom, then sitting down, and saying, " I am back from the bathroom now." This just comes off like a tiny child waving their arms wildly screaming " I need your attention because I am special-I know everybody says that, but I really am special, notice me notice me notice me notice me -attention attention attention, me, me me, me, all about me, me me, everyone, here, eyes on me, me meeee....

Big True
Interesting thing I noticed about couples when I made coffee. I could tell how long a couple had been together (most of the time) by how similar their coffee orders are. New couples get completely different drinks, couple of years then they get similar drinks with one or two differences, been together over a decade then they get the exact same order. Happened to me, use to drink black coffee but my husband always ended up putting cream and sugar in mine not thinking about it and I just gradually got use to cream and sugar.
Ah, that must've passed me by then. We're nearly nine years in and our drinks orders are still completely different. If anything, they're more different than they used to be because I'm more confident now and actually order what I want.

Spotted One In The Wild!
I was the last one on my team, honing my dodging skills, my team cheering, opposing team looking frustrated. I. Was. Awesome. Then I realized it wasn't cheering but jeering to get hit so the gym class could end for lunch. womp womp :(
this one time when I was a kid I went to this trampoline park and played dodgeball, and I dodged so much that eventually it was just me and some other adult guy with a green-dyed beard, and I lost because everyone was yelling "Just throw a ball!!!" and I did and he caught it.

Matched On Tinder But Don’t Worry, She’s “Not A Typical Girl”
Fun fact: a girl tells you she's "just like one of the guys" it means she parties too hard, makes constant d*ck jokes, will fight about everything, and more than likely acts like an entire frat party until the crash. That's been my experience at least. Fun times.

Ah, so you're just a disgusting bigot. Good thing you're not like most girls, it would really suck if half the population was as horrible as this.
Really? Insulting people you disagree with just makes you look and sound ignorant. She has the right to her own opinions, however wrong they may seem to others. I'm a girl - I'm financially conservative but socially liberal - I support police, the military and our flag - just like what I like - what the hell is alm - definitely outspoken when I need to be, but don't shove my opinions in others faces. Registered Republican that didn't vote for Trump. Am I a disgusting bigot, too? Best to ignore ignorant people. They don't want to hear others opinions or even discuss differences. Giving them attention only makes them feel validated

Only game I watched him play was American McGee's Alice because I was into the story line, but once again, no interest in playing by myself. What an incredibly boring way to spend time together.

If She Wears Jeans With Camo, Push Her In The Lake
I think most girls say or think that because THEY HAVE BEEN BULLIED BY THOSE "OTHER GIRLS"! For not liking make-up. For not dressing stylish. For not being "feminine" enough. It's a natural defense mechanism. A very big and dominant part of young girls are the ones that care for fashion and looks, and those who don't conform to that are being bullied. So they desperately try to find something to save their damaged self-confidence. It's easy to belittle them and call them cringey. As an adult woman with modern views of feminism I can see how internal misogyny is not a solution. But laughing at those poor girls who have been bullied and hurt their whole life because they don't conform to patriarchal standards of femininity isn't the wake and feminist thing to do you think it is, either.
This post is sad. Not pathetic, sad. Internalised misogyny is very real, as proven by the post and it is sad that the internet attacks that symptom and not the cause, a.k.a. misogyny
This whole thing doesn't make any sense to me. Of course, I'm not like other girls. Because I am me and last time I checked no one else was me, so... Every person on the planet is not like anyone else. We are all complex people with our own unique personalities, qualities, imperfections, experiences. I think we all just want to feel special from time to time. Just don't put down anyone else to make yourself look better. Simply be your best self and the rest will take care of itself.
I bet you’re like loads of other people, despite being you. You’re LIKE them. You aren’t them.
Load More Replies...Oh, come ON! It's a phase everyone goes through. Regardless of sex/gender. Every adolescent in the world wants to be different and thinks they are. It's funny, and I'm pretty sure everybody looks back on it with a fair amount of cringe. Wanting to be different and still belong to a group is not mutually exclusive and that's healthy. We are, after all, a society that thrives on same-same-but different.
When you are excluded because you are not like others, a difference you cannot change like religion, ethnic background, name, or looks, it isn't a phase. When excluded for decades it isn't a phase. As people get to know me, they tell me I am not like other women. For many reasons I have a strong sense of identity. As an immigrants' child I was raised in a different culture. We moved often. I dont have a "home town." My parents and family in Europe faced challenges most Americans did't. My grandfather was in a concentration camp, the other was a prisoner of war with his family. My mother was a prisoner of war, my father a political refuge as children. My values and beliefs were partly shaped by my European relatives and parents' experiences. The constant moving also contributed to who I am.
Load More Replies...Human beings naturally create groups with people just like them. These groups are strong and united. They will fight for superiority. The difference between groups can be minor -- not noticeable to others. The sense of identity is important. One way to to prove superiority is to exclude people. It feeds their ego, gives them more confidence. I was the token ethnic in my all white grammar school. Blonde, blue eyes, dressed just like the other girls, but I had an ethnic last name. It was relentless. My ethnic background and culture are part of what shaped me, but I am more than that. In most ways I was just like them.
This thread about not hating women for certain, stereotypical traits is still hating other women for certain, stereotypical traits. It's OK to be turned off by pop culture. It's OK to be pissed off at certain behaviors that would be found to be hateful, prejudiced, underhanded or just plain mean if a guy did them. It's OK to resent being bullied by enforcers of unhelpful social norms.
It's okay to be pissed off and resentful against specific people who have wronged you, it's not okay to project those feelings onto people who have never done you any harm just because they fit a stereotype.
