    Well? Do you feel very unusual as a human or do you feel as if there are many out there quite similar to you?

    Tis subjective really!

    Neither, I'm all out on my own


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    I feel very normal/ordinary.
    But if I am, that's for others to decide.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,391 ✭✭✭arbeitsscheuer


    atari jaguar, naturlich.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,437 ✭✭✭Crucifix


    Hmm, I feel fairly unusual, but I would say that the majority of people I know are just as unusual.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44 Vidic-is-good


    Proud to be unusual. Although, where I work it seems its best to be a conformist. Too bad, they'll never change me.

    Everyone thinks they are unique. Most people will say that they are of the few.

    I'm superhuman. Honestly, I am. I've got mad powers and everything.

    Laser eyes.

    Wow must be great being able to shop without cash OR cards.

    It is. I don't need to carry my wallet, so I've a free pocket to put my SuperHero Communicator(tm) in.

    Best thing that ever happened to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,408 ✭✭✭Huggles


    I'm definitely of the few, I seem to drive in a different lane to everyone else, can't quite explain it so you will just have to take my word for it :)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,408 ✭✭✭Huggles


    Its through the roof ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,376 ✭✭✭Squirrel


    I reckon I'd think I'm of the few but surely that makes me the normal? Thinking you're individual shows how you're just the same as most. My 4 best mates are just like me, in different degrees of insanity


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,032 ✭✭✭✭adox


    "You are all individuals"


    "Yes,we are all individuals"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,440 ✭✭✭Dizzyblabla


    I'm pretty normal, I guess, but then I'm not at the same time, so I'm going to plead atari jaguar on this one I think!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,618 ✭✭✭Civilian_Target


    One of the few, but I'm trying real hard to be one of the many.

    The doctor even gave me these pills....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    Strange how most of the votes have gone to the voter being unique. Then again, im odd so im among the many few.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    I gave up trying to be "one of the many" a long time ago, much too hard :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,513 ✭✭✭Sleipnir


    Ah yeah. 6,000,000,000 people on the planet but YOU'RE different.

    If I met somebody like me I would have them committed.
    The mannerisms, humour, constant laughing, how easily aroused I am and frankly the seriously odd thoughts I randomly come out with.
    I am weird. :)

    My best friend is a monkey... Not many out there like me.

    Whats his name... i might know him!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,165 ✭✭✭DEmeant0r


    I would like to think i'm normal but realistically i'm very weird :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 791 ✭✭✭fightin irish


    funny thing..my better half said to me tonight...''why in gods name do you have to be so different to everyone else''.......My reply....All us blokes are the same ffs:p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    Of the few, definately.
    Those who know me well would agree, those who don't probably wouldn't tbh.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,112 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    Bah, yee are all the same to me.
    I can see what traits people have that are similar to other peoples, much like I can see a trait in somebody that is me.
    It's the combination of traits that makes nobody really normal.
    However, on the scale, the closer somebody is to this non existant normal, the less likely I am to find them to be interesting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,165 ✭✭✭DEmeant0r


    but you're interesting to me, isn't that all that matters?! ;):p

    I am facinated by this revelation. Do you not think that this is a personal observation, or do you really believe that it is something those from the 'social norm' have missed out on? What is a social norm Tar Aldarion? ;)

    @Senritsu
    It's because I'm weird... if I hear 'you are weird in a good way' one more time...
    I will smile some more. :)

    It'a personal observation that is a fact, my speciality is seeing things on people, people are open books(helps if I want to make somebody cry, insecurities are great). :)

    A social norm; it is always changing and I would have to broach each aspect of society and how somebodies certain trait is seen as more
    'normal' than a different one. Frankly, i'm lazy and don't care to touch it with my pole.

    my boyfriend always says that there is no one else like me here in ireland but there might be some more like me in Austria :D cause he (and some others) thinks i'm a crazy austrian and unique :cool:

    So 60% have voted that they are of the few....therefore they are of the many :/:D

    Yes, I was aware of what adox was quoting, I just forgot that bloke who said "I'm not"... If indeed there is such a bloke. /me glares at Sleepy.

    In any case, I was just using ur 'quote' to relate to this discussion... Meh.

    one of the many - i'll choose the blue pill every time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,396 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    Yep, there is indeed such a bloke. It's my favourite line of the movie...

    We're all part of 'the many' as the notion of the many is merely a pluralistic composite of the average views of all people. No-one (or next to no-one) really holds all the views of 'the many' but it's fairly certain that at least some of any given persons beliefs will be the majority view on that topic.

    It's also as unlikely to find any two people who will agree on every single issue and as such, we are all individuals in the manner in which we are part of the many.

    So, we're both. Or something.
