Being special

Your personality invests quite a lot of energy in making himself special when compared to other people, and making other people special to him. For example in love relations, family, friends. Through this kind of special relations, he establishes for himself a basis for existence, especially when people assign to him a role that is somehow important. It is something that requires continuous attention, needs to be guarded and maintained, so your personality is quite occupied to maintain this idea. 

Examples of making special:

- wanting to be more or have more than others (for example through showing off, a better job, the amount of friends, special activities, the way you dress, looks, talking).    
- simply wanting to be better (competition, results)
- making special (the one and only loved one, best friend, dearest nana)
- protest against (people are less qualified, make mistakes, have funny ideas etc.)

Now the opposite too is a form of making special. You can close your mind, act as an underdog, entertain the "nobody loves me" idea, and lots of other different ways to make you stand out from the rest of the crowd. Although these special forms are usually entertained only when the "normal" or "positive" ways do not work for you.

Do not underestimate the subtlety of the process, and the reinforcements of the idea through socially accepted acts like habits, gifts (and the way the recipient deals with them), attachment to people, experiences, objects and other things to reinforce the special relations, manners, tone of voice, gestures, etcetera.

For your inner Self, nobody is special. Whatever someone says, whatever he does, how he or she "is", whatever this person achieved in his life. It is good the way it is. Only personalities assign special labels to experiences, people and objects.
