specialness
What sets apart
The quality of being distinct, exceptional, or set apart from the ordinary.
Specialness can be inherent or conferred: a child's specialness to their parents, the specialness of a particular place or occasion.
The word sometimes carries ironic weight, mocking someone's inflated sense of their own importance: He really believes in his own specialness.
