I could see that with the no friends/terrible family, sorry that happened to you.

I guess to me being the Chosen One in the sense of it being inborn wouldn't prove much to the people who don't like me, though. It's not something someone accomplished or a sign of their merit, just luck.

I’m glad you didn’t have to experience that :)

I think special powers plays a big part of it. Whether it’s magic or being royalty or being introduced to your One True Skill (general you obviously and maybe it’s actually just me). That element is common in so many genres. Sports movies, fabtasy, sci-fi, westerns…it’s in pretty much everything. And I always loved watching or reading that stuff because I wanted to be the main character but at some point I also realized that others felt the way I did or those stories wouldn’t have been written. It made me feel less alone in the world, which was a lifesaver for kid me frowning up in the pre digital age. Then I grew up, which usually makes it easier to be an outcast. And the internet brought the world closer so it was easy finding my people. My life is wonderful these days. But the love for those stories has never gone away and I can still connect with them rather strongly.

I'm glad you found comfort/company in all those stories!

I think that would be something I could get into if it was a "you're introduced to an innate talent of yours, but you work to unlock it/make it shine" as opposed to just being Born Better. I think that's how a lot of sports manga goes.

These days I agree and much prefer having to work to improve. The raw talent is there but you have to develop it. But kid me definitely just wanted to be Born Better. Sometimes in a way that would win the respect denied me, other times in a way that gave me power over the people around me. Many times I just wanted to be swooped away to never look back. The core element was always same, the reason I don’t fit in is because I’m supposed to be living a different life. I’m not weird, I’m just in the wro by setting, that kind of thing.
(I’m still totally weird LOL but it doesn’t matter so much once you grow up)

What a wonderful explanation of the appeal!

I'm glad your life is better now, too!
