 The Law of Average Joes
I call it The Law of Average Joes:
On average, you are average.
You may have a very discintive nose, or a distinctive thought process, or a distinctive emotional pattern... but on average, you're just like everybody else.
On first glance, this can seem rather offputting... almost insulting. In a culture where individuality is prized above all else, the notion that there are more similarities than differences between us can seem like an attack.
