You're probably right that him being in denial is more likely then him being super special. But I don't think this psychoanalytical reasoning is justified?

>if you've never felt it, why are you mentioning it? why are you so focused on it?

Because it's interesting / frustrating to find out that the common guidelines to living a normal life don't apply to you, and you pinpoint that fact as the reason?

I can come up with infinitely many negative statements in a discussion and it doesn't mean that opposites of them occupy my unconscious day to day.
