My bad, thank you for correcting me. Its just I see too many people say they aren't special in a negative fashion.
Sometimes Its hard for me to read the intention behind people's posts here. I'll get there someday.
Is it tough to be YOU?

I think other people would have a tough time being me... but if they were actually me, maybe they wouldn't eh? =P
If you think you could handle living a good portion of your life in a hospital and in a hell of a lot of pain questioning whether you'll live to see the next day, never being able to walk your whole life... along with dealing with a lot of heartbreaking deaths of loved family and friends... well you'd be alright being me. It's not been terrible, I've done and seen a lot of amazing things along the way.

That sounds pretty though to me, and I thought I had it rough.
Mine sounds like a walk in the park compared to this.
I've gotta go and experience some more pain so I can relate.
If you can get used to not sleeping, it wouldn't be terribly hard to be me. I've gone through a lot of shit, and I'm sure I have a lot shit to still go through, but we all do. I have no problem being me, I just hate what I'm going through at times.

Everyone's difficulties are relatable I think. There's no competition or anything. Maybe what you feel/have felt difficulty-wise is far greater than anything I've ever experienced, who am I to say? They are your struggles.
And it's like I was saying, it sounds like some heavy shit to some maybe, but it really hasn't gotten me down or stopped me. If you were me it'd be the same, but from the outside looking in it appears comparitively more difficult.
So maybe if we traded places today, I'd off myself after a day in your world and you'd be just fine in mine... or vice versa.
I think a better notion is that we all learn to cope with what we are given, some more successfully than others for various reasons.

Actually, its your lack of courage to make a move or lack of confidence thats killing you. Women rather enjoy my nice guy routine, I just dont let them walk all over me.
Its not hard being me, I try to keep things simple and live by a code. It gets tough at times, needlessly, but then I never pretended that life wasn't supposed to be anything but trials and tribulation... I guess that mindset has given me a pretty thick hide when it comes to dealing with a lot of crazy shit that happens.
It's hard being a bad boy too even though friendzoning is a rarity. Often you just end up completely alone.
What is it about us ENTP's and depression? We all seem to have it. Perhaps this is why INFJs and ENTPs get together. INFJs are natural born therapists and ENTPs are natural born mental patients.
Up to the age of 20 it was pretty tough. Divorced parents, living with abusive mother, being harassed by the entire school for not fitting in, being invisible to girls for romance, no friends, no financial support for college, no job due to messed-up post-soviet economics. On top of that wasn't very comfortable with my gender. One tough little cookie to swallow.
But then I made a decision - if I'm to be responsible for my life then it should not be that tough.
Since then things started to ease up and solutions came from unexpected directions. Right now there are still some things that unease me but overall it's not that tough to be me.
One or two girls can be an exception. But the whole gender - that sounds awful
Maybe you're doing something unconsciously that causes them to behave that way towards you.

you know i've been thinking about soemthing lately and it has to do with a disconnect i feel towards most people. no matter how many times i take an enneagram test i've never gotten Social as my preferred strategy for security. in this way i think it's tough for me to blend or relate to some. but all in all i think everyone deals with things that are tougher for them than others, while some things come more natural too. probably a give take sorta thing.
Men too. Billy was nice to me, and I liked it. Now I stop and think of him every now and then.
I mean, it's tougher than normal, but not the toughest out there by far. I mean my parents along with my family want gays dead. I live everyday on the verge of being kicked out simply for forgetting to do the chores. And I went through hell during childhood and not been able to tell anyone, as well as the fact that I'm one of your stereotypical "on the inside I want the world to burn, but on the outside I'm happy and carefree." If I had a choice, I wouldn't be me, but I shouldn't be the one to judge if my life was hard or not.
