Different in what way, Mr. Alcorn?

I soothe people, Alcorn said.

There's something about me that inspires trust and an eagerness to please. Everyone roughly within a radius of fifty feet--I've checked the limit a thousand times--immediately feels a sort of euphoria. They're as happy as so many children at a picnic and they can't do enough for me or for each other.

It affects psychiatrists, too, Alcorn went on.

You'd cheerfully waive the fee for this consultation if I asked it, or lend me fifty credits if I were strapped. The point is that people are never difficult when I'm around, because I was born with the unlikely gift of making them happy. That gift is the most valuable asset I own, but I've never understood it--and as long as I don't understand it, there's the chance that it may be a mixed blessing. I think it's backfired on me already in one fashion and possibly in another.
