Learn English – the opposite of being “everything to everyone”

antonymsword-choice

I think of this in the following context: when someone tries to be everything to everyone, they end up being nothing to nobody. That of course is a double negative, but I believe expresses the intent of what I am looking for very well. That is, you end up being the opposite of everything to everyone. Can anyone think of a opposite that would fit well in that phrase that is gramatically correct?

Best Answer

"If you try to be everything to everyone, you end up being nothing to anyone."

About anyone, Macmillan says:

anyone, pronoun: [usually in negatives or questions] used instead of "someone" when asking or saying whether there is even one person
