Special Snowflake syndrome

Special snowflake’ syndrome, is a disease in which the subject believes that because she occupies a subculture mildly different to the mainstream, she is inherently better, and above them. The subject will never state that she is better, but it is implied, as is the belief that she is rare in her qualities, despite, in reality, being an only slightly less common cliche. Subjects suffering from this syndrome have been known to make statements such as “I’m the girl who’d rather stay home reading Harry Potter than get drunk and get ‘sweet hooks’ “, and will frequently act as if she is under tremendous pressure to act like a ‘typical girl,’ not realising that ‘typical girls’ are a myth, and those she looks down upon are not what they seem.

Special Snowflake

A person obnoxiously self-entitled and self-righteous based on their personal traits (e.g. gender, sexual or dietary preference). Special Snowlakes are widely known for deeming their own set of features superior to the uniform mass around them.

The term comes from the obvious fact, that every snowflake is unique in pattern, thus calling one of them special based on uniqueness is as senseless, as calling a person special for having a unique set of fingerprints.
