I am not Most People

You might already know that I put that title for my status on Facebook earlier today. Lots of people commented, agreeing with that sentiment in one way or the other. Several people even threw in some version of, "Duh!" It was all pretty entertaining.

What's even more entertaining to me is that most of the time I actually think I AM Most People. I'm so shocked to find out that I'm the only person who thinks something, or would say some weird thing or who approach the situation in that way. I generally have it in my head that most people are more or less like me.

Because of that, I'm usually either confused or insulted when I read or hear "Most People," do or think some crazy thing. I think either, "That data has to be completely off base because I would never do or think that," or "How dare they accuse me of such outrageous behavior!"

I always think that I'm the person that They are talking about. I guess this either means I'm outrageously self-centered and I think the whole world is all about me, or I'm very generous and I think Most People are just as wonderful as me. It's so hard to decide.

Personally, I don't think you are like "most people". I think you are much better than most people.

I have searched for you on facebook and never can find you????

My vote would be that most are as wonderful as you are! Hey, BTW, I thought of you this past weekend as we drove through GR on our way back from the cabin. Alex lived there years ago, so it's always fun to drive through. That is where you live, isn't it?

Don't you know you should never listen to "them". "they" are clueless about you. But remember Oprah is ALWAYS right.
