Reply to comment by Paradise_Princess in Realizing that there is nothing unique about you can be both very comforting and very appalling. by RubyTavi
Yes, exactly! And sometimes it's a comfort to think, I am not the only person who has experienced something (hence: support groups), or that the fate of the world does not rest upon some insight that only I have had.
I felt better once I began to understand large numbers and realized just how unlikely it was that out of 8 billion people, I should just happen to have been the one born to be the best or only whatever.
