Have you ever realized how insignificant your existence on this planet really is?
That happened to me back when I was in the 6th grade, I'll never forget it. My dad took us to a baseball game at a stadium. I didn't care about baseball at all but I got surprised when we got there. There were so many people out there, it was like all of Japanese people were packed in the stadium. Then I turned to my dad and asked him how many people were there. He said since the stadium was full, it was about 50,000. I already learned the Japan's population is like 100 million in social study, so I divided it by 50,000. The answer was 2,000. I got surprised by that again, the crowd in the stadium that looked like very large was just a fraction of the entire population. After that, I noticed it. Until then, I thought I was kinda special, it was fun to be with my family, and I had fun with my classmates too. I believed people and things around me were literally special and so was I. But it wasn't true. Those kind of things were really ordinary and happened all over the places in Japan. Waking up, brushing my teeth, and going to school, there was nothing special about my life. I felt like everything I thought was cool and interesting faded away to a gray void. But if there were so many people in this world, then there had to be someone who was living in a weird and special life. If so, why wasn't that me?
That's just numbers. The real kicker comes when you realize that you could skip out on a family get-together and nobody would miss you.

Haruhi was pretty deep.

Imagine caring about being special. Sure, I could see a 6th grade old kid being stupid enough to care about that, but if you still care about that as an adult, it would be very embarrassing.

Nah, I'm the protagonist.

Was she a virgin?

cringe if you zoom out on the past 1000 years you realize you are living a pretty special life and if you zoom out on on the past 10000 years it's especially special and on the past 100000 years, you lfie is as abnormal and special as it gets
but haruhi is a woman so she is unable to comprehend this kind of abstract thinking otherwise she would not be bothered by these conceptions of what is weird and what is normal as defined by the outside world in the first place. Kinda tragic
what kind of child has an existential crisis in elementary school

Well I draw fanart sometimes, so if I didn't draw a certain art then it wouldn't exist, therefore I consider myself to be special, because I bring to this world something that wouldn't be there without me.

So what, Haruhi? You can potentially live an even absurder amount of time and what you do during said amount of time ends up making you a completely unique human being. And I'm not talking only about micro level stuff, by the time you're 30 or so I bet you'd find impossible to find someone that had the same life as you.
Being special isn't that big of a deal, being able to stand out isn't that hard either, see terrorists. You have some kind of existential dread and you're attributing it to this, but I bet your issue isn't as superficial as "not being special". Maybe you don't understand it because you're still a teenager and your mind isn't fully developed yet, maybe you don't have the cognitive power to solve it on your own, but whatever the case this is an issue you'll have to get an answer by yourself.

Haruhi Became A Total Heroine Of Anime In This Particular Scene. I, Too, Feel Overwhelmed AF By The Amount Of PPL In The Worrld! Though She Tried 2 Warn Us All Abt Trying 2Have Fun, And Stick Out, We All Still Spend Our Days Collecting Memorabilia Of Frustrated Ambitions. I Admire Her: She Is Stuntful, Self-Perpetuatingly Eccentric, A Manic Laugher, An Unaware Angel, A Lover Of The Absurd Implications Of Our Existence, A Daughter of Aphrodite & Of Everything That Is Worth Remembering In The Long-Run. She *Is* Selfish, But With Such Attitude Came An Amount Of Honesty UN-Encountarable In Any Other High-School Slice-Of-Life.
