K, let me explain this slowly.

There are 7 x 10^9 people. You'd have to be 6.31 σ in some given dimension before there would be less than 1 integer person more so than you. If this given dimension happens to be biological, you'd almost certainly not be viable. But you're almost certainly less than 2 σ in any given dimension, which puts the population size where you'd likely be the outlier for that dimension at 44. That's right, 44. And that's IF you're 2 σ in some dimension. At 1 σ, the population size drops to 6. And the cumulative distribution at 1 σ is 84% (being, obviously, 1 - 1/6). Which is to say that for 84%, you're not even the outlier in a group of seven people, let alone any kind of stand-out among humanity.

So in simple, statistical terms that anyone can understand, YOU ARE NOT A BEAUTIFUL OR UNIQUE SNOWFLAKE. Telling yourself you are is just a sign of a grandiose sense of self-worth which is intrinsically psychopathic.

And here's the really funny part: cooing over everyone's uniqueness is just the acceptable party line right now. So the more you tell yourself you're unique, the more you're thinking exactly like everyone else. Baaaaaaaahahaha!
