No they don't. Most people are average. Really, within a few sigma the fast majority is surprisingly dull and average.

A rose is still beautiful even though it's common. I think the problem is that people are often scared to open up about the more vulnerable parts of their lives. "Dull" people can have very interesting or poignant pasts, but can be unable or unwilling to share it.
You are not special, and neither am I.
Everybody does not have a novel in them.
I find "people" as an aggregate dull and stupid. But I've never met an individual person who doesn't have their own story, their own hopes, regrets, wins and losses. Very few have a novel's worth, but novels are not the only kinds of story to be told.
