Answer 1

I think I am different. All of us are different in some way or another. And that differences are what make us special. No one is alike. To a mother, her child is special and unique. To a spouse his/her partner is different from everyone else. Yes we all have a lot of similarities in the way we think, in the way we act, react, interpret. We all are different because we all have different backgrounds, different life situations, different life styles, different depth of understanding. It is sometimes hard to see that differences. Like, I have seen many twins. And physically they look alike, they dress alike, they even act alike. But ones u start to understand and come to know them a little better, u will know that there are differences between them. Even though they are raised in the same situations and have the same environment and are the same age. THere are distinct differences between them that make them appear different.
Everyone is different. Ya ! There might be differences, but there are also a lot of similarities.And when u say that there are millions of people like u, it means that u are looking at the similarities, not the differences. I am glad that u are seeing the similarities, because a lot of people only try to look at the differences. They only try to look at how people are different in their ethnicity, their creed, religion, color etc. So keep up the good work !

Yes i believe I am different from anyone else but I believe anyone who speaks English and understands the words I am using can understand me.I am different in the sense that I am an individual who interprets incoming stimuli cognitively different from anyone else.I mean let's say one event occurs and is witnessed by six people.You will get six different interpretations of what exactly occurred.Each person will have processed the information they witnessed differently in their brain.Also since two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time, we will have six separate perspectives.In addition ,in the cognitive processing,each person will evaluate the importance of one part of the event more important than the others .This will hold true for each person.
The reason each of us are so different is due to the fact that each of us have had dozens of experiences that are different from everyone else.Or we have different evaluations of experiencing the same stimuli.
The truth is that as humans we have similarities and differences.Basically we have pretty much the same physiology,although this too varies.For example,your eyesight is superior to my eyesight.But we both have two eyes Then there are those who have one or no eyes.Some people are missing certain organs that others posses,e.g.gall bladders or spleens.Their is /are the differences between male and female physiology.
Then consider emotions.We all say we know what pain is .But how do you measure it.Is there only one pain or many degrees of pain?Love....Is love just love or can one person love more or less than the next person?Are there standarized tests for hate,prejudice,integrity,responsibility,or any ethical behavior even though everyone believes it is just a matter of common sense.
Does everyone have an Absolute or Relative answer for what is right and what is wrong in all situations.The insanity plea in courts of law is based on this question.You tell me ,is murder ever justified?
The reality I believe is that we are yes different and yes alike.So I would have to say,according to me millions were like me and millions were unlike me and millions are like me and millions are unlike me. Where we are both talking about the same millions of persons.

I think I'm very different from everyone. No one understands me because 1.I don't make much effort in making myself understood. 2. Others make no or little effort in understanding me because they're busy making themselves understood. 3. Sometimes I don't want people to understand me. 4. And even if this didn't happen, no one would completely understan me because they'd have to know everything about me, including experiences, family, thoughts, etc. I am very different because: 1. I have never fallen in love despise my age. 2 I can't tell a beautiful thing from an ugly one. 3 It's hard for me to keep a conversation where people aren't discussing or debating or solving a problem. In otherwise circumstances I feel weird and uncomfortable and I can even become harsh and unpleasing. 4 I tend to talk to people who need my help without even knowing the person and I end up solving the other person's life problems but not knowing the person's name. After the person needs me not, I "disappear" until next problem appears. 5 I dislike money. 6 I like to touch bugs and animals (including frogs). 7 I can walk for hours restlessly thiking. That means i walk around my bed, the football court, the basketball court, or even lamp posts and hours mean from 8-9pm until 2-3 am. 8 What people knows about me usually is what they have heard or assumed about me. 9 I haven't EVER gone to a friend's party 10 I like being weird. I'll stop now, there are just too many reasons. Now, what makes YOU so different?

Answer 4

I have been diagnosed as DID formerly multiple
personality disorder. What happened to me in order to be this way out is something I have in common with very few people except dead ones -

Even fewer want to know about it.

So my circumstances and early life were different from any one that I have ever met. There is no one I know on the island I live on who has DID.
Some people understand patchily, if I ever try to explain and then promptly forget and treat me the the same. Every time I go out to be amongst peopel outside I am always acutely conscious of fitting into their reality it is always an away game.

The given personal pronouns do not fit for multiplicity - ideals of family do not fit and much more. So yes I think I am different and that it is not possible to understand me but I am not down about it. Its just a very human limitation

Answer 5

All my life, schools, churches and people in general have preached "we are all alike", "the greater good", "team players", etc., etc., ad naseum.
The problem is that, even though our DNA is more than 99% the same, there are tremendous differences between people. I AM an individual; I was born alone, I will die alone. No one can share that with me. (Same thing for everyone else on earth.) When all is said and done, the only person you can really count on, upon the entire earth, is yourself.
Although the vast majority are "pack animals" and incapable of thinking for themselves, even with all that, people are still different.
So, yes, I am very different; I am capable of thinking for myself, for analysing things, reading at college level, and understanding things AND the big picture.
If EVERYONE would try to be an individual instead of a "pack animal", no one would use tobacco, booze, drugs, fornicate, etc.

Answer 6

I can't agree with you here.Who decides whats normal for everyone.Something that is normal for you could abnormal for another.You shouldn't have to change the way you are to fit into the tiny box that is considered to be noraml way of being.If you take away the neccesities that we need to survive then we don't really have that much in common besides our desire to survive.If you consider changing yourself so that you are more accepted by the group mentality then i would say you and you group are completely different and cannot understand me.

Answer 7

Hi gentleman
Yes I'm different and I'll not change to become normal and to be like others because those others want more wars, because those others wanted me to hate other people, because those others doesn't care about the world tragedy, because those others wanted me to leave the freedom of my thinking and my mind, because those others want the community to become a carbon copy of them, because those others doesn't care if some one had been killed unless they are belong to their religion.
being normal and like others not good in all cases.
thanks yahoo

Answer 8

People say I am different, but I go to great lengths sometimes to make sure people understand me on certain subjects...

Other times, some people understand me, others don't, It doesn't bother me if its a subjective thing, its all relative, and that's just how I feel....

(No two people are the same, we all all diferent)

Answer 9

i was very much of the mind that i was different until shortly out of college. i think i felt that way from having moved form place to place in my childhood, and did not have a good sense of home and belonging outside of my nuclear family.
my criteria for same and different have changed recently, and i feel very similar to many people on the world.
in reading the book Generation Me, i've learned that kids in recent decades have been brought up in ways that cause them to think of themselves as very unique in ways that few will really be able to appreciate, but they (we) "deserve" special treatment.
i think my self-concept has shifted its focus more outward, and i see myself on the same plane as so many others, rather than alone in my little inner universe.

Answer 10

Technically speaking, throughout our ages, we are not different, we have similar preoccupations... Yet, there are times when we feel lonely and like nobody understands us - I do feel this way quite a lot. When you can't communicate with others, when you feel alone and not like talking to anyone around...
