    Huh? It’s a very commonly-used English expression, nothing remotely related to Reddit

      It’s a pointless phrase that is most often used on the internet.

      It is used to whore for attention, because if someone is asking whether or not they are the only one, they should already know that the answer is “no,” yet proceeds to ask anyway. Thus, “am I the only one” disguises a statement of opinion as a question.
