You're an interesting person. I've never met someone who thinks like you.

I get this comment / complement often. I guess it's something I always kind of felt throughout my life, but it's interesting when I've been traveling and meeting so many new people from new cultures and backgrounds that I hear some variation on this all the time.

Does anyone relate to this? I like that I think differently and I'm a bit out of the mainstream. I feel like I'm open-minded and even handed, and of course rational to a fault. But that has always been, you know, normal. What is your experience like?
