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?

    40 People Share The Weirdest Things About Their Bodies My proportions are all over the place.

    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.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    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.

    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.

    I don’t think that is correct -The recipient's DNA does not change, but after the transplant, the recipient will have two sets of DNA in their body: their own DNA is found in most of their cells, and the donor’s DNA is found in their blood and immune system cells. This state of having two types of DNA is called “chimerism”, after the hybrid creature from Greek mythology. There is a article about a guys dna changing after a bone marrow transplant https://www.news-medical.net/news/20191210/Transplant-patient-finds-out-his-DNA-has-been-replaced-by-that-of-his-donor.aspx

    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.

They sent a chunk of *everything* away to be analyzed in hopes they weren't looking at a lawsuit. Thankfully, my daughter was healthy...tho came out the size and disposition of a toddler.

    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 have narrow ear canals too (although perhaps not unusually so, no idea). In-ear headphones were pretty much impossible until I found relatively thin, very soft foam tips for them - the compression of their form is far more comfortable than even the smallest silicone pieces. I'm uncertain if this is a result of the massive amount of ear infections I had as a child, or...if the ear infections are a result of the canals. Who knows!

    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.

    There is evidence that a Glasgow tram conductress in the 1920's had six fingers on each hand - her family couldn't afford to have the 'extra' ones removed at birth (before the NHS). She is said to have found this an advantage when dealing with drunks (Glasgow was then known for drunkenness at weekends) when she'd challenge the more vocal ones with "You're so drunk you think I have six fingers on this hand". The merry citizen would deny this, and their count usually went "Look, there's one - two - three - four - five - Oh god , six" after which they were usually quiet for the rest of the journey.

    Edit: this got more traction than I imagined. They aren’t constant all day long, but they happen every day. I’ve gone to some doctors, they ask if I can eat and breathe fine, I say yes, and that’s about it. The only thing that has helped a little is acupuncture! I don’t hiccup QUITE as much. After this long, I don’t mind it all that much. It’s a good ice breaker when I meet people, and a great drinking game when out with friends 😂.

    I wore super pointy shoes all through jr high and my pinky toes stopped growing. They are small and squished into the rest of my foot. Boring, I know.

    My legs are longer than my 6’4 fathers and I’m 5’8. So hard to find pants! I can also cross one eye any way I want while keeping one eye looking straight on.

    If this is a female it's usually because we have longer legs than torsos while men tend to have longer torsos.

    Same here. Great at concerts, nobody pushes into me from behind due to my pointy back.

    Very sad. Genital Mutilation in the name of religion or just tradition should be banned.

    I have abnormally high arches on my feet. I knew they were high, but I had torn Achilles a couple years ago and every specialist who looked at my feet was like “holy s**t!”.

    If I inhale through my nose super fast it does something to my ear canals such that it filters out a lot of low frequencies and a good bit of volume. I can basically turn it on/off at will. Comes in quite handy if I forget earplugs at a concert, or if I’m having trouble hearing people talk in a crowded room.

    Not a joke: I only have one visible testicle. I have something called an ascended testicle iirc where one of my nuts never dropped I guess

    I also have a condition called Visual snow where I basically see static in my vision in darker places.

    Undescended, not ascended. I had surgery to correct this aged 9. Only discovered at that age that other boys had two.

    Smelling sickness isn't that rare, but a lot of people don't know what they're smelling. A lot of diseases smell yeasty, or nutty, or foul. And it seems like most people who can smell different diseases don't necessarily smell them the same, so it's not a great diagnostic. I'm much more impressed by people who can smell snakes, because I can't and have accidentally stepped on more than one while out hiking (obviously I've survived, but very frightening).

    When I’m really tired, my hands stop working. Dyspraxia is fun.

    I know someone with this. I always wondered what caused it but never knew what to google and never wanted to ask and offend her. Sweetest person I've ever met though!!

    High foots for everyone else here who can also do this! Please just do not try to hold my foot with your foot like it is a hand (and I won't try to do it to you either).

    I can do this with my shoulders - no pain or discomfort, I just flex the muscles like _this_ and they pop out and then back in when I relax.

    Went to the doctor one day and found out my left kidney is completely atrophied. It’s below the proper amount of function so they just consider me to have one kidney. Mom said it looks like a shriveled-up piece of burnt bacon on my scans.

    Makes a little bit more sense why I sometimes pee blood. I just thought I might be the Kool-Aid man.

    My mom only has one kidney due to having cancer as a 2 year old - back before they even really knew how to treat cancer. I'm lucky to have her!

    I can also fold my hands in half by folding my fingers into my palm at their main joints.

    Edit: I do not have Ehlers Danlos syndrome. Thank you all for your concern. lol.

    You could have hypermobility? I can fold my legs into a double lotus and then walk on my knees . Hypermobility syndrom is a collagen defect, sometimes caused by allergies which can lead to protein deficiency. If you have it in other joints as well, please check out if you need more protein, because when you grow older it can lead to all kinds of joint problems.
