The fact that my cat owns my soul. I tried to sell it to the devil but it turned out my cat had a lien on it.

The fact that I am completely surrounded by a void that contains occational electrons and nuclei which we call air.

That's such a hard question. :) Ummmm....  Probably the electro-force shield around me, lol  OR that I dance to the beat of my own drum (whatever that means?)  :D

Probably that the shuffle mode on my iPod plays the same 3 artists over and over regardless of the fact that there r over 10 000 other songs to choose from.

I was created in a secret lab and escaped. Also I have this nifty barcode that is different from the barcodes on the other clones.
Oh also I have cyborg parts and magic...Soooo cool!  ;)

Seriously... as this was probably intended to be a thought provoking question without an easy answer. Perhaps my own experiences in life that will always be mine even if some may have similar experiences they will never be the same experiences as experienced through me. That alone makes us all unique.

Now what makes me bizarre is another matter all together!

I know what you mean, Valerie. My MP3 player has the hots for Gloria Gaynor. I have two songs by her in the entire playlist and every time I use it on random, it plays one of them.

the fact that where ever I may go people always shout john jacob jingle schmitt thats my name too.

until I found this list and a few others I thought that I was unique just in the fact that I care more for others than I do for myself but luckly since I have been on these forums I have found that I am not alone in that as I once thought as was.

maybe it is the fact that the voices in my head never tell me to hurt anyone they just talk about the life of a tax accountant (see I'm crazier than other people with voices- if you had to hear about the life of a tax accountant all the time you would be crazy too!!)

The fear that if I were to integrate with another person, I might get their snots on myself. Or worse.

Everyone comes from different backgrounds and that is one of the things that make us unique. People in the same family, even twins, come out with different perspectives on life and their personalities are different. Just like we all have fingerprints and eyes that are different than anyone elses. How we perceive the good things (and bad things) in life make us who we are. So we are a combination of genes, environment and outside influences.

QuoteHow we perceive the good things (and bad things) in life make us who we are.

I absolutely agree with this.
We create our own world through our perspective, our intelligence, and our thoughts and emotions.
No one individual can ever truely know another from the others perspective
Therefore, no one can truely know or understand another.
That's seperation.

What makes us unique and separate is the strong, overwhelming belief that we are.

I think I am me therefore I AM ME. That  is what makes me unique is that I am I.

What separates me...?

A unique combination of DNA, likely not shared by anyone else on the planet.

The unique 'settings', tendencies and biases the DNA causes.

The fact that anything I experience with another person at the same place and time is merely similar, never identical.

The people I've encountered and the moments and ways I've encountered them are different than the people others have encountered and the moments and ways of those encounters, even if we're all in the same place and at the same time.

A 30th of a second (minimum) delay between a stimulus impinging on a receptor (light/eye, sound/ear, taste/tongue, touch/skin, odor/nose,) that guarantees I'll never experience reality except through a delay and the imperfections and distortions of my transducers, and only deal with a facsimile of reality.

The realization that I'll never pay my money and 'be John Malkovich' (remember the movie?) or any other celeb or person I admire -- I can only be me.

That being said, It's amazing we humans even connect at all;   ;)

When I was a little tiny person, what separated me from everyone else were the sides of my playpen.
