I always hear people saying everyone is one of a kind and all that inspriational junk, but I don't really believe it. I mean, technically speaking, I guess you could say that I'm special because no one has the same exact same DNA or fingerprint as I do, but I'm not really talking about that. I'm talking about personality and stuff. There are more than 7.6 billion living people on Earth, so it seems impossible that no one is just like me.
Hopefully this post wasn't too all over the place.

    Healthy realistic attitude.
    I love the line.
    ( I've never met anyone like you before. )
    Duh.
    I'm a snowflake.
    No 2 are alike, but it's not a compliment.
    How many folks HAVE you met that are EXACTLY like someone else?
    Zero, so saying you're one of a kind is pointless.
    We all are one of a kind.
    I just happen to be cool,
    cause that's how I see myself.
    No better or worse then anyone.

    I have a question for you. Is there anyone you do consider special/one of a kind? As in, do you think that only of yourself or of all the 7.6 billion other people?

    There's still no consensus about how much of our personalities are due to genes and how much to environmental factors, but who we are as individuals has to be down to some combination of those two factors.

    Since it's not possible for another person to have genes identical to yours or to have had exactly the same life experiences as you, you are definitely not identical to anyone else who has ever lived or will ever live.

    Having said that, humans everywhere generally have the same basic needs and drives, the human brain has some built in quirks that seem to be universal, and everyone living in a particular culture during a particular time will have shared a lot of experiences and influences during their lifetime, so it's not surprising that people are similar in many ways.
