Why do I hate playing regular races...
I was of this state of mind for most of my first decade of RPGs. Humans were boring (I play one IRL), and it seemed that elves, dwarves, halflings, etc. had already been overdone.
I wanted to play goblins and centaurs and gargoyles.
That really took a turn after I started Pathfinder. The in-world cultures and history of Golarion's Humans is super in depth. The regular races have drive and motivation.
Read up on some of the Human ethnicities, if you haven't already. They may give you cause to try one out.

Plus by limiting access to the "exotic" races you actually do make them feel special, and avoid the "man, sure are a lot of Tieflings in this room" problem.
There are way more elves, humans, dwarves, gnomes, and halflings on Golarion than there are Gillmen, Grippli, Aasimar, Monkey Goblins, Changelings etc. It's not entirely unreasonable to want the adventuring party to sometimes show that.
