Life, The Universe, and Everything

So I've learned some things. Most importantly, I learned that most people consider themselves normal. For instance, if my eyes always water during heavy winds, I should assume that most people have the same problem. This literally never occurred to me until someone said the words "Most people just assume everyone is like them." I always just assume that everything I do has never been done before. I suppose a childhood full of being called "unique" and "special" and "gifted" and "well-hung" has a lot to do with that.

Secondly, I learned something about the human condition. This one I learned by reading the questions on Ask Metafilter, but not reading the answers. I learned that everyone has some secret question they would never ask of anyone they know, for fear of revealing the thing that the question concerns. For instance, one netizen asks: "Does everyone at work know a weekly doctor's appointment is therapy? Is it a big deal?" Also, a fun game is where you pretend every question was asked by just one lonely, confused individual.
