The exact meaning of the quote

The exact meaning of the quote

The quote below doesn't make sense to me.
I think the exact meaning of 'Being You' blocks my understanding of this tricky quote.

"You're so busy being you that you have no idea how utterly unprecedented you are." — John Green

To me, it's out of my grasp how 'being you' makes you not have any idea of how utterly unprecedented you are.

Help me.

Regards.

P.S. The website below shows one reply of the same question regarding the quote. But this reply doesn't make any sense to me. It doesn't explain 'being you' either.
