you're just like everyone else but why do people think it's the worse thing in the world?

If you felt the following about yourself, chances are you're an average person-

1. You feel like you're an old soul
2. You feel disconnected with your own generation
3. You like books and solitude over partying and loud music
4. You're an introvert
5. You're an observer than a participant

Please feel free to add more things that make you uniquely average.

Barnum effect. I don't agree with a lot of your list though, that's not "average". The classic Barnum effect list is:
1. You have a great need for other people to like and admire you.
2. You have a tendency to be critical of yourself.
3. You have a great deal of unused capacity which you have not turned to your advantage.
4. While you have some personality weaknesses, you are generally able to compensate for them.
5. Disciplined and self-controlled outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure inside.
6. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing.
7. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations.
8. You pride yourself as an independent thinker and do not accept others' statements without satisfactory proof.
9. You have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others.
10. At times you are extroverted, affable, sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, reserved.
11. Some of your aspirations tend to be pretty unrealistic.
12. Security is one of your major goals in life.

Other examples can be found in most horoscopes.

I know I'm pretty average. That's fine. I don't mind blending in.

There’s much snow. Butblook at the individual. Snowflake. Each is different

People are much the same way. Yes we have generalizations. But each is unique.
