“Lived Like This Until 21”: 50 Times People Found Out Their Bodies Were Different From The ‘Norm’
Many of us are so used to how we perceive things that we barely think about how things could be different, on a sensory level. But here’s the rub: the way we see, hear, and interact with the world in our day-to-day lives can be very different from how others experience it. Sometimes, it takes a doctor’s appointment, a random test, or an objective outsider’s comment to make us realize that something’s very different about our bodies.
Some of the braver members of the AskReddit community opened up about their personal biological quirks that they were stunned to learn about, from suddenly realizing that they’re color-blind to having rare allergies and more. Keep scrolling for their stories.

I was 22 when I found out I barely had a sense of smell. Random allergy test for something else flagged up some weird lactose intolerance thing that knocks the smelling device in my headholes on its a**e when I eat dairy. Gave up dairy for a few weeks. Turns out the world f*****g stinks, and life without cheese or milky delicious cereal isn't worth living. No regrets.

I didn't know until I was in my twenties that people had different faces, unless there was something usual like a really big nose or a scar. Turns out I have me some face blindness. When I was working in a grocery store around 2000, I saw this woman walk in. I thought she was really cute, so I watched her as she shopped in the produce section. It wasn't until she came up to me a greeted me that I realized she was my then live-in girlfriend. Once I learned there was something called face blindness, it kind of changed my life.

I thought music has colours for everyone until I realised no one understands what i'm talking about. 10 years later I discovered there's actually a name for it - synaesthesia. Thanks, criminal minds :)
Everybody has their biological and behavioral quirks; there’s no way around it. But they can be a real nuisance. Someone might feel self-conscious that their ears are a certain shape or that they constantly sneeze whenever they get near cute and cuddly animals. Someone else might find it exhausting that they can’t dine out with their friends as often as they’d like due to their numerous food allergies. Or someone’s still shocked that they’re actually color-blind and literally see their environment differently from most other people.
It can be emotionally taxing dealing with all of this. And nobody’s dismissing the impact of these biological quirks. However, reframing how you view them can reduce some of that anxiety you feel. For instance, instead of seeing your color blindness as a ‘burden,’ you could try to see it as something of a superpower or cool mutation.
On the other hand, instead of focusing on your uniqueness, you could go the other way and look for commonality. There are likely millions of other people around the globe with similar genetic mutations as you. There’s strength in finding a community that can support you.

Period pains that no otc d***s would touch and that kept me home from school several days every month.
I was just told it was the curse of being a woman and that periods are supposed to hurt.
Turns out I have endometriosis and the pain was caused by internal bleeding every period.
Thanks mom.

My periods got so much better but not great after I got on the pill at 16. I think people need to talk more about period control, not birth control. It can be both. When I was around 40 I was surprised that there was only 1 person who would give an IUD to a woman who had never had children. Even though my neurologist suggested it, I knew the risk and my husband and I didn’t want kids. A vasectomy would be $4k the IUD was free. Luckily for my 2nd one I found a new one and she’s great. It it has been so great. I get some occasional spotting every few months or some cramps. Unfortunately it’s true Covid did mess with my periods and cause more periods but still not like I had in my teens thru 30s. No girl or woman should have to suffer when there are so many options. Get a second opinion. I wish I would have been brave enough when I was younger.

My science teacher held up a color blind test, the one with all the colored dots, and everyone in class is yelling out the answers and I'm looking at them like the guy at the beginning of Ghostbusters getting shocked and wondering how the girl is getting them right. This cleared up a lot of confusion with my crayons.

Being born with only one ear and a few other issues with my face. Potential diagnosis of mild Goldenhar's. I thought it was the best thing ever and totally normal until I got to school and tried to make friends. Nobody likes the ugly freak. Had a new ear created in 2001/2002 by the wonderfully renowned Dr. David Matthews of NC. It failed and had to be removed. They never learned why. I've since accepted it and no longer give a f**k what others think about it.

People are so cruel to others with facial difference. I don't think making disabled people the villians in films for over a century has helped! The concept of 'disfigured' = evil is as old as time. Glad this person has learned to ignore others, as a physically disabled person myself I know that's not easy.
According to Enchroma, there are a whopping 350 million people who are color-blind on our planet. Though this is far from the majority, it’s such a large minority that you never have to feel alone with your condition if you get diagnosed with it. Literally a third of a billion other human beings know what you’re going through and can potentially guide and support you. That being said, it’s still not an easy life.
Color blindness affects around 1 in 12 men, as well as 1 in 200 women. 90% of color-blind people admitted that it does affect them at work, while 75% said that they need their colleagues’ help to verify certain colors.
Around half of students with this condition are less interested in drawing, painting, and art galleries. And more than half of color-blind women revealed that they left out of activities like shopping, makeup, and fashion, where color plays a key role. Furthermore, nearly half of all color-blind people didn’t find out about their condition until the 7th grade.

I genuinely believed that everyone's hands and feet turned blue in the winter, and hurt all the time during the summer, or in high temperatures.
Turns out I just have Reynaud's Phenomenon.
Ladedah 1 month ago (edited)
Mine's not quite that bad. Worst in the spring and fall when temps seem like they should be OK to trust (around 40-60°F), but then my body decides to take it back. Freezer aisles and stores with great air conditioning suck in the summer for the same reason. My husband likes to tease that I have "Dead people feet" when I get bad episodes in the winter. I've found that it's keeping everything else warm (core, legs, arms, head) that solves it more so than putting on warm socks or gloves.
What are some of your biological quirks that you were shocked to learn about, dear Pandas? How did you realize that your life experience is different from that of the folks around you?
How do your biological differences affect your life, whether for better or for worse? What advice would you give anyone who’s shocked to learn that their body works rather unusually? Let us know in the comments!

My best friend got glasses when she was 10. Until that point she had no idea that trees had individual leaves on them, she thought they were just green blobs on brown trunks like you draw when you are a kid.
Edit: To clarify, of course she knew they had leaves, but she just thought they fell from the big fluffy tree blobs. Not sure about if she had climbed a tree, maybe she was just too busy playing to make the connection.

The constant ringing in my ears. Took me years to realise that not everyone experienced it and it was actually tinnitus.
Kira Okah 1 month ago
Tinnitus has two types - internal and external. Referring to the direction that the sound seems to come from. Internal ringing sounds like it's a sound inside your head, commonly caused by illness or stress. External ringing sounds like an environment sound, commonly caused by ear damage from external factors. I have the former, caused by stress.

Food would routinely be very hard to swallow.
Often would get stuck and involve either throwing it up or forcing it down with other food or water.
Lived like this until 21.
Turns out I had eosinophilic esophagitis. It's basically a constriction of the esophagus due to allergic reactions that are more or less permanent without treatment.
I sought after medical help, upon my first endoscopy the scope found my throat to be 7mm in diameter.
A normal one is 20mm for comparison. I've since had upwards of 10 dilatations to achieve a normal status of 15mm.
All is well now.

For decades I just sort of assumed everyone's head would fill up with these terrifying, violent scenarios that would make you feel like a terrible person. It was either that or I was a psychopath. I figured everyone felt the need to do stupid little things like me, but it turns out saying a made-up prayer in your head every time you have a violent intrusive thought to keep yourself from going to hell is abnormal.
I found out much later that OCD wasn't always just counting steps while wanting everything neat and tidy.
(edit): To anyone reading or commenting here, now thinking they have OCD or any other related illness - trust not what you read on the internet to give you a diagnosis. Take what you've read and written here and think long and hard; if you still feel that my experience fits your symptoms, talk to your doctor, male an appointment with a therapist or psychiatrist and be open and honest about what you experience. Leave it to experts who are sitting in front of you to diagnose what you're experiencing.

Even though I have a year long tan thanks to genetics, you could still see all my veins across my whole body. I looked like a human road map. I also shook a lot.

Are we talking about livedo reticularis? Or is it something else? I've had livedo reticularis my whole life, so I'm assuming it's idiopathic in my case. Anything less than 80°F and it's a wee bit embarrassing. I'm super pale though, so getting a bit of a tan seems to help disguise it in my case.

I didn't know it wasn't normal to start daydreaming during a test or have periods of time when you got hyper-focused to the point of shutting the world around you out.
Until I started studying to become a special education teacher. Then it was like, "Huh... imagine what my life would have been like if someone had actually diagnosed my ADHD while I was still in school...".

I have anosmia (can't smell). When I was younger, I just thought that I was being stupid when people said "ohh, can you smell that?" and I couldn't. However, now I'm older, whenever someone asks if I can smell something I just can't. It became pretty obvious when a manure truck drove past me and a friend one day and I had no reaction.

That only using the phone on one side was completely normal, and everyone picked a side.
Turns out I'm just deaf in the other ear. Explains why headphones never worked properly for me.

Getting blisters under your tongue.
It suddenly started when I was 21 - I'd get little blisters that would burst and give me a really horrid taste in my mouth for a couple of seconds. Then it would be fine, and a day or so later a new blister would pop up. It was irritating, but I thought it was like mouth ulcers, nothing serious. I went to the chemist after a couple of weeks and asked if mouth ulcer stuff would work on the blisters - she told me what I was experiencing wasn't at all normal and to go to my dentist.
Turned out, I had the teeniest tumour you've ever seen in your life growing under my tongue. Its location had interfered with a mucus gland and that was causing a build up of mucus to form little blisters and then burst, hence the rancid taste.
It was caught obscenely early because of the mucus build up. If it had went undetected for a longer time, I could have needed more extensive treatment. If it had went on long enough, the cancer could have even spread to other parts of my body and put me in real danger. As it was, once they removed the tumour, that was me cancer-free. It was no more traumatic for me than a trip to the dentist. I'm pretty lucky.
So, feel pretty lucky to have had my little mucus blisters giving me a heads up.
**EDIT:** So, I've apparently sent a lot of people into a bit of a panic by making them think getting oral blisters means they've got cancer. Sorry about that, folks. No panic was intended in the making of this post.
I got blisters because the tumour grew in a way that interfered with a mucus gland. Blisters aren't actually a common symptom of cancer, so if you're getting oral blisters, please don't panic. My case was unusual, and you're probably fine.
I am not a medical professional however, so if you're concerned I encourage you to get checked out by your dentist. Even though you're probably fine, better safe than sorry, right? And getting checked out will help put your mind at ease.
For anyone concerned about mouth cancer, here's a list of the most common symptoms to look out for.
FoxEcoLimaIndiaCharlieIndiAlfa 1 month ago
I'm curious if they actually tested said tumor for cancer cells. So many people hear the word tumor and assume they have cancer but many tumors are benign, meaning non-cancerous. The only way to know for sure is to have the mass tested.
#31
My friend has no mind's eye. He can't picture things in his head.
He didn't know this was unusual until he saw a documentary on it on the BBC earlier this year. He never understood why books had so much descriptive stuff in them and thought 'picture this' was just a phrase.
#32
I have visual snow, which is sort of TV-like static that overlays your vision. AFAIK, I've had it since birth, or if not I developed it at such a young age that I don't remember a time when I didn't have it. I thought that everyone's vision was the same as mine until I was in my mid-teens.

I didn't hear about this term until a year or so ago. I, too, thought it was normal. My mind ignores it most of the time, but the second I remember (such as right now) I can see it again. I've had it as long as I can remember, too. I always thought that it's just visible dust (but very tiny, not like the dust motes you see in a beam of sunlight) or particles suspended in the air and reflecting light... It's almost like adding a really fine grain to a clear picture in photoshop. But I can see them in the dark, too. When I was little, I would wave my arms around in the dark at bedtime and it would seemingly swirl like its moving with the wind.
#33
I have scoliosis - not bad enough to be immediately noticeable, but because I'm so aware of it I know that one half of my ribcage sticks out more than the other and one of my shoulders slopes while the other is at an almost 90 degree angle.
I didn't realise there was anything wrong until I was in Year 9 at school and one of the girls in the changing room called me hunchback of Notre Dame.
HTakeover 1 month ago (edited)
Middle school P.E. had quarterly checks for scoliosis. Is that not a thing anymore? Edit: I did a little digging and it's still a thing, but doesn't seem to be as widely done as in the 80s & 90s. But maybe that's anecdotal. Utah and Texas have formal guidelines for schools. The national scoliosis board has a map of which states have programs, which is a little over half, but I didn't go digging into how widespread those programs are.
#34
I get panic attacks and twitch uncontrollably if someone goes too close to my right ear, or if there is a particularly loud sound or even a high or low frequency noise on my right side. Turns out I have Hyperacusis, and many people I know still think I'm making up and just being a wimp.
Debby Keir 1 month ago (edited)
I'm partially deaf - ie one ear has nerve damage, and the other a bit of age related loss. I had Meniere's syndrome for many years (now burned out but causing the deafness) and also have very annoying tinnitus. Lately I've been 'jumping' at some sounds - a brain shock type of thing and can't think for a moment - and now been diagnosed with hyperacusis too. Deaf and hyper hearing!

This is being buried because I'm late to the thread but, I was born 2 and a half months early and because of this I formed a hole in the abdomen wall that separates my ball sack and my stomach. Well a small pocked of fluid had formed in the hole not letting it close.
I grew up with this and didn't think anything of it. It would only hurt it I would sneeze, and I didn't do that, that often so I didn't worry.
Well fast forward to when I was 18. I was getting my before college physicals and the doctor saw it and said, "Well that shouldn't be there" and we scheduled the surgery to fix.
3 Days after I had my HS graduation I was getting ready for the surgery. It was suppose to only take 45ish minutes, but it ended up taking 2 and a half hours because of how bad it was.
Apparently the pocked that formed was fused with everything and was a b***h to separate. On top of that my small intestine had started to fall into the pocket. I was told by the doctor that if we had let it go another year I would be dead because my small intestine would have kinked and burst.
tl;dr: Born with a hernia never got it fixed. 18 years later got it fixed. Almost died from waiting that long.
#38
I have a bifid uvula. Kind of looks like a ballsack. I thought for the longest time that's what everyone's looked like because, well, how often do you look at other people's uvulas? I can remember as a kid watching the intro to Rugrats where it zooms out from Tommy Pickles crying and you see his and thinking it was weird that they drew it like that, but then I figured some cartoon characters also have 4 fingers so that must just be how they are drawn. I found out my uvula is weird when I was in high school.

I can make both my calves painfully cramp just by flexing my foot a certain way. Works every time. Like a Charley Horse on command. And if I hold it long enough (20-30 seconds) the pain will start to kind of ease, at which point I can briefly make it cramp by pointing my foot instead.
Apparently this is not normal.

I am 32 and thought that everyone has a torus palatinus. I recently asked my sister (who is a doctor) to look at the roof of my mouth as there was a sharp bony part on the lump in the roof of my mouth.

I occasionally have vivid hallucinations; normally they're benign, but every so often I see thousands of ostriches around me. I never realized it was abnormal, until I climbed into the ostrich cage in a zoo because I thought they were all just hallucinations. After I hit one of the ostriches to try and prove it was a hallucination they told me I'm no longer allowed to return to that zoo.
#43
I have a thing called dermotographia where basically my skin swells whenever you scratch it. I used to think this was normal and just draw things on my thighs and they would swell into pictures. It wasn't until I was like 11 that i realized that other peoples' skin didn't swell up like that when they got scratches. Still pretty cool though cuz its like a non-permaneant notepad on my body since the swelling goes away after about 15 minutes.

I got stung by fire coral for the first time. Same type of sting as a jellyfish. Well, it was just three little bumps that pussed a little, and was itchy. Took a few months to heal. I thought it was a completely normal reaction.
Fast forward 6 months, a dive buddy gets stung, and i was like oh dont worry, it'll just be annoying and pussy for a little bit. No worries. But for her, it was nothing worse than an ant bite.
Fast forward another 3 monts, i get stung again, this time a larger surface area. Turns into an oozy mess over the weekend.....turns out, im super allergic to Cnidarian stings.

Oh yeah, fellow Touretter here. The most annoying part of getting diagnosed is we can stop or symptoms completely for a very limited period. I hated going to the doctor and every time they tried to see my tics I unconsciously suppressed them.The irony is that when we got home the suppression wore off and my tics came back 10x worse. It wasn't until I was 17 and my Da saw a little one inch side bar in the newspaper that listed 10 symptoms and I had 9 of them that we had a clue about what was going on.

Alright, here’s my oddity. And please, if you’re like me, let me know. I’M ALLERGIC TO MY OWN POOP! Every single time I poop, I have a full on allergy attack. Every. Single. Time. PS, it’s so sexy. Thick, clear mucus pouring out of both sides of my nose, itchy, watery eyes, the works. And, as soon as I’m done, it disappears as quickly as it came on. I’ve yet to meet another person this happens to, so let me know if you’re a freak like me. (Edited to add, it is not an allergy to something in the bathroom. This has happened for the last 40+ years, regardless of the bathroom I use.)
