No they don't. Most people are average. Really, within a few sigma the fast majority is surprisingly dull and average.

- isaacfrond 4y agoPuhleeze.There are well over 7 billion people in the world. You represent, rounded to a lot of decimal places: 0% You are not special, and neither am I. Everybody does not have a novel in them.

- suprfnk 4y agoDo they not have their story too?
- moeris 4y ago> the vast majority is surprisingly dull and average A rose is still beautiful even though it's common. I think the problem is that people are often scared to open up about the more vulnerable parts of their lives. "Dull" people can have very interesting or poignant pasts, but can be unable or unwilling to share it.
- themadturk 4y ago"Average" doesn't mean they have nothing to offer. I find "people" as an aggregate dull and stupid. But I've never met an individual person who doesn't have their own story, their own hopes, regrets, wins and losses. Very few have a novel's worth, but novels are not the only kinds of story to be told.
