Well, I can't speak for anybody else's obsession with uniqueness
   ['cause I can't get in anybody else's head] - but for myself,
   it's being considered a misfit and tending to be an
   observer-of-groups rather than a participant-of-groups. I *do*
   seem to have some connection to other observers-of-groups but
   never felt the "pull of group" with them, but rather, a
   fondness.

   Best I can think of at present.

   Sense of clanlessness = individual = uniqueness.

   Of course I'm not clan-less. I'm part-of many Clans. But that
   'something' always escapes me with regards to most groups.
