Just because you are unique, doesn't mean you are useful. See the left-handed fish knife or the white-coloured pencil for details.

But anyway, I do know a few people that have this. It gets very annoying when planning events, especially when two or three have to have something done "their way". It's like cooking, where one won't eat meat, another will only eat kosher food, and the third insists that you have to go to the club that does 3-for-2 deals on beer.

It's frustrating isn't it lmao

It's ironic how there's so many members of tumblr like that yet they all claim to be unique. They're literally the target audience for the site.

nah tumblr is full of people that will openly /admit/ to being special snowflakes
but i think intrinsically this phenomenon is equally prevalent elsewhere, even off the internet

Black paper though! The white pencil is an absolute powerplay on that stuff. Of the people examples, 3 for 2 beer guy is way more annoying than the other two; who drinks beer in a club anyway?

:rofl: Well I can't stop laughing bc I genuinely didn't know/think there was a meaning behind it or the fact it's a "thing" or that it's categorised as a "syndrome" when I created my 'about me' section. XD Someone told me to add it on there...so I did. (':

What even is a special snowflake? ^-^

:rofl:

A special snowflake is someone who thinks they are more unique and 'special' than everyone else and are therefore entitled to more special treatment
