There are a lot of good friends out there, so how can you be special? I have good friends, you probably do too, and that guy over there probably has some as well. How can something so common be special and rare? There is a very (relatively) small number of people in the world who really are special. They're special because they can really make a difference in the way the world works. The rest of us aren't special, we're just told that we are so we don't break down.
Debbie Downer, is that you?

I think being special has different connotations than being unique. I don't think I'm all that unique but I do believe that I'm special to the people who care about me. And like Psy said, that's all that matters really.
