Summary

This quote suggests that the individual expressing it has a pessimistic mindset, anticipating failure instead of success. They acknowledge that things that genuinely resonate and become popular are rare and exceptional, so they have mentally prepared themselves for failure as the norm. This mindset may come from past disappointments or a fear of not meeting their own expectations. It reveals a perception that success is unlikely and perhaps signals a lack of confidence in their abilities or the external circumstances that lead to success.
