as salam alaikum
the Qur'an says: "Say:- I am but a human being like you. It has been revealed to me that your God is only One God-" (18:110).
We can deduce from this verse that the Prophet was a human being like us. At the same time, it is said that it was revealed to him that Allah is only one God so in that sense he was not like any of us as Allah spoke to him through revelation.
Also, the Qur'an says that the most honorable of us in the sight of Allah is the most God-wary (49:13) and this makes the holy Prophet above any other believer.
With prayers for your success.
