This idea of being special is a really interesting one. I never thought I was special and was never treated as special, but, on some level, wanted to be treated as special.
When I was going through major crises with drug addiction and depression and hospitalizations, this doctor at a drug rehab clinic kept pushing me up in line and, when I was in the hospital once, I kept calling my p-doc to intercede and get me out.
My daughter got angry with me about this and said I thought I deserved special treatment. When I told my p-doc this, he said, well you do deserve to be special. You treated your daughter as special and that's what kids deserve. You never got that as a child.
