I think that "You're special, just like everybody else," sums it up pretty well.

It's cool that people have excelled at something that not everyone has, but there are just as many people that are better at something else.

I do think that a lot of the people trying to be special are just in that phase where they need an identity. It's something everybody goes through.

Sometimes the most exciting thing about a person discovering or sharing that they have a "gift," like drawing, scrying, or an uncanny knack for dream interpretation, is that same person realizing that they are not a freak, that there are people out there who have strong views that are similar to their own, and that they can be accepted in a group of friends or community. That is the most important thing, I think. Being different, the same, but accepted. And from there, all kinds of neat conversation starts!

Momma says I'm special

But I see what you mean. I've never believed that magic is restricted to a select group of people. However, I think it is clear that there are certain who are drawn to it. Its what they are meant to do, in a way, like a hobby or job.

Kashaku-Tatsu
imo most things those call gifts can be taught to anyone with enough patience and hard work.

This. Some people just have an easier time with it.

It really depends on the person. Sometimes, I come across people who's ego is so inflated it's almost like they've elevated themself to deity level.
