We all think we’re special, or at least we do for some period of our lives. After all, this is what our parents always told us.
Turns out some people grew up only to take this way too literally. Being special is one thing. Being more special than most everyone else is something else altogether. Not only is it not cool, it’s misguided. The exponential rise in the number of people using social networking sites only exacerbates this tendency in some. If we have 900 friends on Facebook, does that make us more special than the guy who has only 20? Sadly, many people seem to believe this to be true.
Really, we just need to get over ourselves and connect in a real and meaningful way. Virtual relationships are great, but they aren’t everything. And they certainly don’t replace “real” relationships – you know, the kind where you sit and actually have a meal with someone. And by meal, I mean the kind where you talk to each other, rather than texting or looking over the other person’s shoulder at the TV.
Yeah, I’m special. Most importantly, so are you. What would you like to talk about?
Who am I? I’m just a broad with a blog.
