People who call themselves interesting.

are not really interesting at all.
In fact, they're the most boring people in the world.
Here I am a pessimist.
Calling yourself interesting sets the listener up to expect something.
But what is interesting in another person is really what you find interesting that you have in common with them.



People who call themselves unique,
are as common place as people with pianos in their homes.
Not all people have homes.
Not all people have pianos.
Fewer people have pianos in homes, but
there are nonetheless many people that have pianos in their home.
If we talk about the a person in its entirety (down to dna), it is unique, but what we judge is
personality, body language, image, interests.


Personality/body language: few people know what it truly means to be "unique" in this respect.  There is a normal curve in psychology statistics for a reason.  The ones who are deviants are the ones who are often shunned.  I.E. the man who doesn't talk to anyone at all.  When he's with a person he stares and says nothing.  His sociability on the curve would be standard deviations from the mean.

Image: if you bought it from a store or made it from a guide its not unique.  Plain and simple.  If you made it yourself then, someone else in billions of people have also thought of it.  Plageurism isn't intentional sometimes.  It's inevitable.  There has got to be an equation describing # of Plageurisms as a function of time in decades that turnitin or related catches.

Interests: if you saw it on t.v. and liked it someone else probably also liked it.  What could you be interested in that is so different from the rest of the other 7 billion people and still be likeable while calling yourself "unique?"

you can call yourself an AC/DC fan or an award wining novelist if you are one, but don't introduce yourself as "unique" or "interesting."  I think these are lame-o, ironic ways of introducing yourself.
