You are not special. And you have to accept that it is absolutely ok. You do not have to be the best, the funniest, the most successful - your achievements do not validate your worth, your failures do not invalidate your capability.
Being a big part of someone's small life is better than being unimportant to many people.

A better way to put it is: If only the best person at any one thing could be happy, there’d only be a thousand happy people in the world. Since there’s more than that, it means being the best at something isn’t a pass to happiness.
