40 People Share The Weirdest Things About Their Bodies

If it wasn’t already clear as day, bodies are weird. And that’s just on a regular day. Bodies can get weirder given the right (and the wrong) circumstances. And then you have to live with it.

Folks were recently sharing some of the things they have to live with and the online thread picked up speed really fast with folks answering the question what's weird about your body?

If you donate plasma- thank you for keeping me alive!

I used to study art. In drawing class, we had to study human proportions using our hands in strange positions and our bodies in front of a mirror. I got a bad grade, was told that my proportions were wrong. I had to go show the teacher that, yes, my thighs are unusually long, my pinkies abnormally short etc.

My grade was changed.

It’s hard to pinpoint what is normal in terms of bodies. The easiest way to explain it is that which is usual, typical and expected. But that’s based on statistics.

And since subjectivity is a thing, there can be a different normal for everyone depending on their condition, situation and experience.

Following this definition, you’d think there has to be some sort of, say, average height, average weight and average anything else.

That holds true for situations in which, say, most folks have 5 fingers, but that one person has 6. But then you have something like weight, which has a norm, but it’s based on your height, as per the body mass index.

40 People Share The Weirdest Things About Their Bodies I know what human spinal fluid tastes like.

Last year, a sinus specialist discovered I had a 7mm hole in the wall between my left sinus cavity and my cranial cavity. No clue exactly how long it’s been there but I’ve had a “runny nose” as long as I can remember. It was spinal fluid. Very salty. Got it patched up and after some insane headaches while my cranial cavity regulated the pressure, I’m doing much better.

Edit: I’ve seen replies of people having the same symptoms. I highly encourage you to see a specialist because CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) leaks are how meningitis can happen. Tell your doctor that the liquid is clear and watery and has a very salty taste. Those are the hallmarks of CSF.

But then again, does having six fingers affect your life in a significant way? Does that entail some sort of debilitating disease or condition? There might be social stigmas, sure, but that’s irrelevant in the grand scheme of things because you are beautiful and amazing and loved.

For example, obesity is considered by many—professionals included—a chronic and often progressive health problem. At least in Canada, roughly 6 million people are considered obese—that’s 17% of the population—and that alone costs around 4% of the yearly healthcare budget. But while the risk is obvious, it is still just a risk, not a reality.

Some medical professionals have started finding people who, despite having a problem of obesity, show no health problems associated with it. You know, diabetes, high blood pressure, increased cholesterol and even certain types of cancer. This is what’s known as metabolically healthy obesity, a kind of obesity that doesn’t have associated health problems.

So, again, what’s normal? Bringing subjectivity into the mix, for people who have physical abnormalities, these things might not necessarily be, or even feel, normal, but they would very likely not feel weirded out by it either.

In that sense, weird is the new normal and everyone has their own.

40 People Share The Weirdest Things About Their Bodies My eyes have been misaligned since birth. I've had two surgeries (one immediately after birth, and one in high school) to try to correct it, but they are still misaligned by about 1 degree (possibly more now considering it's been many years). This means I've never been able to use both of my eyes at once, so I do not have depth perception. People sometimes ask what it's like not having depth perception, and my response is what's it like TO have depth perception??

Until the second surgery I had to wear glasses, but afterwards my eyes were close enough that my brain could automatically choose which one to use based on the distance of whatever I was looking at. This is handy because one of my eyes is near-sighted and the other is far-sighted, so I get the advantages of both.

I'm also double jointed in the hips and can put my feet behind my head, and I walk duck-footed thanks to my weird feet.

And again, if some layers of society push an agenda where certain out-of-the-ordinaries are considered abnormal, there’s going to be a community or several that are accepting of it. So, the idea of normality is all over the place.

My body manifests suppressed emotions and stress as debilitating chronic pain.

It’ll be so bad I can’t sleep or think or do anything really, and the only thing that helps is for me to root around in my subconscious for whatever is bothering me emotionally and then cry about it. After I cry, the pain will disappear over the next hour or so, only for the cycle to start again anew the next day, since I’m always stressed or suppressing emotions.

In a philosophical twist—or just a shower thought—if someone does admit that they have an abnormality, and shares it online, after being asked to, that alone kinda sorta feels normal at the same time. Even if they admit that this is a deviation from the norm, sharing how they’re cool with it, and others seeing that it’s weird, yet still feeling normal about it normalizes it. Does that make sense?

40 People Share The Weirdest Things About Their Bodies I was getting custom moulded ear plugs made to block out the sound of our next door neighbour and his (at least) 3 different alarms that go off between 02:00 and 05:00.

I have always struggled with the normal foam earplugs, ever quite able to get them to fit properly or having much sound-deadening taking place when I did manage to get them crammed into my lugholes.

The audiologist who was taking the impressions of my ears commented that I have “unusually narrow ear canals”

Guess that explains the problems with other earplugs!

I’ll try to sum this up 😂

My biological father has Juvenile Type 1 Diabetes, so autoimmune. I was tested periodically growing up and was never diagnosed with either Type 1 or 2.

Flash forward to having my first child at 25. No gestational diabetes. Second child at 29. Gestational diabetes during my pregnancy. Follow up lab work showed I was back to normal.

Two years later, I rapidly developed severe PSOD. I need an emergency hysterectomy. Lab work shows I’m Type 2. I continued to be Type
2 until another year after that. I landed in the ER in DKA. The ER doctor came charging in my room demanding to know why I wasn’t taking my insulin. I had NO IDEA that i was Type 1. I had gone through a lot of trauma from right before my 2nd child’s birth until moving back home for support. That’s when I landed in the ER. My immune system and pancreas decided they were finished.

It is a major, major struggle.

One last thing: the idea of being abnormal doesn’t have to be a bad thing. It’s like having a super power sometimes. Yes, the body can go through genetic mutations that allow folks to be morbidly flexible, resistant to poison, shock proof or even immune to pain. That last one doesn’t mean you’re invincible, though, so don’t get any bright ideas.

40 People Share The Weirdest Things About Their Bodies Ever since my earliest memory I have found the sensation of ANYTHING touching my neck & anywhere near my collar bone area absolutely unbearable. skin-crawling, want to peel out of my body, can't hold still when i think about it unbearable. I can't drive with windows down, I stretch my shirt collars out in my sleep, at the dentist i have to constantly be pulling that little bib that they put on you down away from my neck. I can't even look at someone wearing a turtleneck or a choker or even a tight-ish necklace. It really actually gets in the way of me enjoying a lot of things and is really embarrassing lol. I have tried exposure therapy like wearing things with a somewhat snug fit around my neck or a somewhat tight necklace but I just can't do it. It's awful.

What's normal about my body? That's a shorter list, I bet... Where to start? Two tailbones (and a sealed second a**s, and a second set of genitals that developed the opposite sex), a right side nerve path that sends excessively strong arousal signals, highly flexible leg joints that can go quite a bit further in any given direction than they should, portions of my skin on my lower arms and legs that look like they belong to someone else, a bone structure that's female in most areas but male in others... And that's just the stuff you can see easily on the outside.

I have Linburg-Comstock - a variation of tendons and their connections occurring in the wrist. A study suggested about 30% of the population may have it, and a smaller percentage of those 30% are affected negatively by it (I am). The tendon for the index finger and thumb have an anomalous connection between them, causing the index finger to bend when the tip of the thumb is bent. I would compare it to the connection of the ring and pinky finger, where a lot of folks can't bend their pinky without also pulling the ring finger down (and stretching ring back up is painful and more or less impossible). I'd like surgery, since the LCS affects my main hand and inflammation is a terrible thing to live with...but I'm totally broke and have more pressing medical things to look at.
