Just read this thread from the beginning and was really impressed some time. I appreciate how openhearted some of you are writing here, and I notice again what kind of wonderful and interesting people are around here!
Had to think a bit, what might make me unique but consider myself as an "everybody"; except maybe.....:
I felt "unique" my whole life, because from the beginning I've been taller than all the other girls.
That doesn't sound dramatic at once, but I can tell you: it was problematic. And sometimes still is.
I was a kind of outsider all the time, kids were teasing me, or just avoiding. Of course I had friends, but anyway... it can be difficult, especially as a young girl.
Later on I had problems to find a boyfriend, find clothings, shoes....
I always wanted to be shorter. In school, with my friends, in my job....
I have never been good at sports, no idea where to put my arms and legs. The others laughing. So I often pretended to be sick. From doing no sports later on I got sick.
Mum wanted me to join a group of "tall people" when I was a teenager, but I refused and told her: "I'm not handicapped!" In a way she always gave me the feeling that I might be. I think she suffered in a way, but should have been more humorous; that would probably have helped me.
Later as an adult I tried this "tall people group - thing" and it was interesting to meet women even taller than me. Suddenly I was almost the smallest.
On the other hand I noticed quite quickly that being tall was the only commonality we had, so I skipped it. It was BORING! 
Finding a community with the same interest is much more interesting - I notice here and in "my" clay-forum.
Some men still have problems being shorter than I am. But today it is their problem, no longer mine. I think they have to work on their self-confidence.
Regarding everything else I am quite common I guess, there are even more and more tall girls to see today and clothing is not that problem anymore - thanks internet.
If anyone's wondering now: No, I'm not 2 meters tall - it's "only" 188 - 5 cm more than Ben, I guess.
