It's not about me either. Or anyone. But I wonder how many people will think it is...

From: Donuel

To be honest, you are not important enough for it to be about you.
Not that it is not about you because you don't matter, but rather
its not about you because you are not important enough for it to be about you.

Now if you were a corporation you could make sure of who you don't
want it to be about. But as it stands, you don't matter, because to be important you must wield huge capital, not law or constitutions.
Since you don't have meaningful capital that could enrich or diminish other super capitalists, its not about you.

For people who it is about, they look upon you and know that they can buy or sell your life and family for less than lunch money. That is a feeling of pride and levity for those whom it is about.
They may feel and know that you don't matter, yet you still matter in the sense that it is not about you.

Thank you thank you very much...not you.

I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us — don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.

How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!

Bob said it....not me:

If not for you,
Babe, I couldn't find the door,
Couldn't even see the floor,
I'd be sad and blue,
If not for you.

If not for you,
Babe, I'd lay awake all night,
Wait for the mornin' light
To shine in through,
But it would not be new,
If not for you.

If not for you
My sky would fall,
Rain would gather too.
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all,
I'd be lost if not for you,
And you know it's true.

If not for you
My sky would fall,
Rain would gather too.
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all,
Oh! what would I do
If not for you.

If not for you,
Winter would have no spring,
Couldn't hear the robin sing,
I just wouldn't have a clue,
Anyway it wouldn't ring true,
If not for you.

Many fights start this way; "It's not about you" hurled at someone, by someone else who wishes it to be all about THEM. When it's actually about something else entirely-- about which they know very little! :~)
