What is unique about you? What don't people "get" about what it's like to be you? DO you think being you is all that different from being someone else?

I have a mild form of OCD. OCD means Obsessive-compulsive dissorder. My doctor thought that due to me accidentally re-orginized her desk and she was mortified. I was six at the time when this happened and she thought I was crazy until she looked into my problem more and started to research while I was, again, re-orginizing her desk. The next time I was at her office she told my mom that I had OCD. My mom was completly out of it. She had no clue what anything ment and just shrugged it off. I was also confused and went home, but when I got home I was orginzing my desk again. Papers, stacked. Pencils, lined up sideways. Pencil case, right next to my papers. I always knew that this was a little exsessive but I was compelled to do it. One day at school, one of my classmates in 4th grade had spotted my orginizing my desk again and said… “wow.” No one gets my problem of just doing the same things like locking the door, orginizing, pushing in chairs, all of it. It gets annoying sometimes and my friends in elementary were teasing me about it. People misunderstand it with perfection. It’s about compulsive activities. I have OCD and it gets in the way of success.

I think that I’m very unique. I do things differently than everyone else, I have a different schedule than everybody I know, and I look different. Those are just a few of my differences. No one but yourself knows what it’s like to live in your shoes. I do stuff that some people don’t do and the other way around. I think the thing that makes me the most different is my personality. If I had the same personality as someone else you could say we were twins. Just like you would if two people looked the same. Your personality is different from everyone on earth even if it is just by a bit. So I think walking in my shoes would be hard, and me walking in someone else's even harder because I was born different.

Is it cool to be me. Ya it is, I have property with a house, I have a phone, and a family. It is cool to be me because I can do some cool stuff. Like trampoline tricks. One of the bads of being me is that I’m the middle child and it sucks. Overall though it is nice to be me.

Something unique about me is my glasses. I have worn glasses since I was four years old. A lot of people don’t get that having glasses sucks because they get dirty, they can sometimes hurt, they leave red marks on my nose, and they cost A LOT of money so I only get a new pair about once every two or three years. I also have to take them off when I do things like swim, jump on a trampoline (because I don’t want them to break), shower, and sleep. People tend to think that I’m “lucky” that I was wearing my glasses when I get hit in the face with things but what they don’t understand is that it hurts more when you have them on and get hit in the face. Wearing glasses doesn’t make me really different from anyone else because it’s not like it affects the way I learn or act.

I am unique because I do things different in my life and everyone in the world has different schedules. I wake up, do my school work, then I do chores and ride my dirt bike. The real unique because my family is way different because I think a lot of families have different traditions.

What’s unique about me that people don’ t know is, not to brag, but I’m really good in any kind of sport, and I try dangerous stuff sometimes. Also I think being me is different from being someone else because everybody should have something they love in life and enjoy, because if everybody liked the same thing then that would be Soooo boring, and annoying.

What makes me unique is I am myself, I am me. I am the only me there is no one else is me and if I wasn’t me I would be somebody else. But sense I am and no one else is me. I am unique as myself. What don’t people get what it’s like to be me is, just because I like weird things doesn’t mean I am different then they them I just like things they don’t like. Is that weird?

What is unique about me? My face is unique! What don't people get about what it's like to be me? I also don’t know what people think of me, and if it's mean I really don't care. Do you think being you is all that different from being someone else? Yes I think everyone is different and unique, if everyone was the same we would have no personality and we would all don't know who was who.

I have been through a lot and my family has been through a lot too. It makes me sad sometimes and I feel like people dont understand me. I think people dont realize how much I have gone through. A good thing is I can be whatever I want to be. I have problems doing stuff sometimes.

What I think is unique about me is that I like to fix cars like yesterday I fixed my dad speakers, because they weren't working and now they sound amazing. And like we all have different Schedules like I could be doing homework at 4 and someone would do there homework at 7.

I have always been very tall my whole life as a lot of you know. Almost every year I would be the tallest one. I'm not sure if this makes me unique but being tall can have its perks and it’s down sides. I've been asked these questions my whole life “why are you so tall” “your only good at basketball because you're tall” and sometimes questions like that hurt. Sometimes it's not always the best to be tall like everyone wants to be at my age. I couldn’t wear the stuff you all really got to where. I was too tall for it. I outgrew the kids size when I was like ten! That made me very insecure because I felt like I didn’t fit in. I always tried to ignore my height when I was younger so I felt like I would fit in. I mean having people stand next to me and say I'm sooooo much taller than you, but they weren't made me laugh. The perks of being tall at a young age is that I was able to reach stuff and go on rollercoasters when kids my age couldn’t. I never really thought I was as tall as people made it seem until yesterday I stood next to my mom in a full length mirror and we were about the same height. Witch really freaked me out in a way a sixth grader basically the same height as her mother! I mean I bet it would freak y’all out too. I mean I can’t change my life or how I develop faster than people my age. I've just learned to embrace it.

Something unique about me is my love for animals because a lot of people like to hunt and kill animals and bugs. Whenever I find a bug in the house or a lizard my cats brought in, I take it outside so no-one will kill it. I think about how the animal feels and some people don’t get that. They think I am sensitive or that they are just animals. I think everyone has their own things that make them unique and histories that make them who they are. Even if our histories are different, we are all great people.

One thing thats unique about me is my love for video games. The first game I ever played was probably Mario or something like that, but when I was like six I played Call Of Duty Black Ops ll and when I did I never stoped playing first person shooter games. For a while I just played Bo2 but soon Black Ops 3 came out and I loved it, however, I have never loved a game as much as Fortnite which I still play to this day. At first I just watched my dad play and I loved it but when I started playing I won my first game and I was better than my dad. My parents dont know what its like to want to play games all day every day and my mom thinks games will get me nowhere. My dad knows that I could stream and make youtube videos while competing in tournaments and he knows im good enough to win but he said I have to be at least 16 before I can be a full time streamer which is fair enough. No, I dont think being me is even a little bit different from being someone else. I know people want to do the same things as me I just dont think they know they want it as much as me.

I think everyone is unique in their own way but what I think is unique about myself is that I think about stuff differently. By differently I mean like someone will look at nature and think “ Oh I see it everyday it’s not really special” but in my mind I take time to appreciate nature and think how lucky we are to have it in our lives. I think that life goes by so fast and people don’t take time to appreciate the little stuff in life. Appreciating the little things in life makes you realize how lucky you are to be able to have the things you have. Something people don’t get about me is that i’m a really emotional person and things do get to me just because I come off as a happy person doesn’t mean i’m always happy. But I like to look at the happy side of situations because I don’t like to think about the bad side of stuff all the time. I think being me is different from everybody else because everyone is different and special in their own way. The things that make someone unique is what is special about them and if we were all the same nothing would stand out about you.

I'm unique because I like alot of things like sports, hunting, fishing, and dirtbikes. I am really good at anything mechanical. I like to build legos and I know how to rebuild the carburetor for my dirtbike like the back of my hand. I like to come up with ideas and then build them.

I’m unique because of my imagination that would make me sound weird and also makes me black out, it is quite hard because I remember a lot of names which sometimes I mix them up with other people and also it could get in the way with a lot of stuff. Yes because no one is the same as you but they might have some things in common but have different things they like then you so that is why i'm different.

I come from a considerably large family. A family of six. I am a middle child but not the only one. I have an older brother that is also in the middle with me. Not only am I one of four children, in the middle, and the only girl which I think is unique but I also have naturally curly hair. No one in my family has that. That is why me and my family are unique. I think that what people don´t understand about living in a house of four boys is that it is not that bad. Ok, I know that's a lot of boys but who cares, because I don´t. Sure theyŕe a pain but so is everyone on the planet in their own ways. Also, having brothers does have its minuses because if you like someone ALL of their opinions about him come in, and that can be difficult sometimes. But it can be helpful in some cases. Also, would everybody just stop feeling bad for me? Theyŕe just boys. It doesn´t matter. It makes me a little tougher. Anyway that is what people don´t get about me. I think I am unique in my own ways.

People don’t get a lot of things about me, but I'll give 1 or 2. People don’t get that I don’t like being ignored. People don’t get that I think math is hard. People don’t get that I don’t like being left out on conversations, or plans. People don’t get that I don’t like it when I ask you to explain something and you say less than half of it. People don’t get that I’m not the smartest kid in the class and that’s not my fault.

Everyone is unique in their own way. What I think is unique about me is probably my height because I am really short for my age but there are some advantages about being short and one of them is that I can fit into small places. What people don't get about being me is that I'm usually mistaken for an eight year old. So that's what is unique about me.

Something unique about me is my height. I am “5,5” I am 70% taller than an average kid my age. I don’t have anything people don't understand about me. I think I have a normal life. I think my life is a bit different from someone else's. I mean technically all our lives are different. We all have different parents and siblings.

If I were to have a bowl of anything that would refill automatically for breakfast I would like a nice bowl of Cap'n Crunch for a snack or brunch whatever you want to call it I would like a famous bowl of Logan jollys popcorn and for lunch I would like a nice holiday sandwich for dinner I would like a nice pepperoni and sausage pizza from Red Lion and for dessert I would like a nice bowls ice cream with some fudge brownie on the bottom and I know that seems like a lot but I'm a big boy so I do need to eat all that not really but I like eating all that so that's what I would have every day no matter what maybe sometimes I would add some fruit in there but I eat apple everyday anyways so yeah

One thing unique about me is I like to build stuff. I like engineering because I can build many different things out of many things like legos, wood, metal. For example before the fire I created a lego tower that was half the size of a 55inch tv. This is unique because I build it differently from anyone else by not using instruction packets and just go with my imagination.

What unique about me is that I'm left-handed it's not super unique but there aren't tons of people in the world that are left handed. In my family of six I'm the only one who's left-handed. I Google the amount of people that are left handed to the people compared to right-handed and it says 12% of the world is Left-Handed in 87% of the world is right handed. So it's kind of uncommon but not really.

Some things that are unique about me are that I like to sit at home and do nothing rather than go outside to run around most of the time. but I know it's best for me to go out in practice for my sports because I know it benefits my team. another thing that is unique about me is that yes sometimes I can be not the nicest person but that just how I grew up with my cousins who are older than me and just us messing with each other but when I do see someone's feelings to get hurt I do feel bad and it makes me feel really bad about myself but a lot of people don't know that about me. That's just what it's like to be me. I'm also very athletic so I know when I do have practices and I know that I'm not trying my hardest I try to push it up and push myself for the rest of the practice cuz I know it will benefit my team like I said before. I think being me isn't too different from being someone else but it has a lot of differences even though that doesn't really make sense.

What is it like to be me? To be me I am not much different than most people I like lots of foods and dislike some (SUSHI IS THE BETTER THAN COOKIES) I have lived in different houses than other people and had hard times for those who died that some people didn't even know about. I have lots more unique things about me but I don't want to be writing for hours one more unique thing is that I can do some tricks others cant like backflips on the trampoline. That is some of the unique things about me.
