Since the beginning of time, humans have found differences to be fascinating. Sadly, this fascination sometimes also led to fear and ridicule. While some people with physical abnormalities have felt shame and hidden their difference, others have embraced their uniqueness and are happy to share them with us. From an extra toe to striped wisdom teeth, we’ve compiled a list of really interesting body abnormalities people proudly share — and it’s all courtesy of r/mildlyinteresting.
Marfan’s Syndrome
We’re sure there have been times when you felt like you were just a few inches away from reaching that thing on the top shelf. In those moments, it would be perfectly understandable to wish you had longer fingers to help you out.
WSL – Spurs
This person seems to be just showing off that they don’t have that problem. Though it might look strange, they’re just going through life with the hand they were dealt.
Knuckle Up
We’ve all learned about the bone structure of the hand in anatomy class, and, of course, we assumed this applied to basically everyone. But, sometimes, people are born with unique situations, like this person right here.
That being said, you need knuckles for your hand to move. So, we’re unsure how this person grabs things without that middle knuckle. It would be quite challenging, don’t you think?
Goosebumps
When something is scary or even surprising, most people end up with goosebumps all up and down their bodies. This poster, though, seems to be a patchwork of both bumps and smooth skin.
Though it seems that this person doesn’t really mind and has gotten kind of used to their strange body. /honestly, someone might not even notice unless they pointed it out!
Just A Little Gap
One place that many of us don’t often think about is what’s under our tongue. That’s because we never really see it until we do a thorough brushing of our teeth. We really want to know how long it took for this person to find this strange abnormality.
You would have to be pretty proud of this abnormality to want people to see it. However, it’s got to be strange for them to walk around, just open their mouth and point!
Splitting Hairs
Many people look to change their hair color on their heads, but this person has a unique look on their legs. It has to be pretty strange to walk around with people staring at your legs all the time.
If we had this, we might consider shaving them to keep this from happening, But, this person thinks it’s something to show off at parties! So, they wear those shorts proudly, waiting for someone to ask them about their hairy legs!
Something’s Off
Everyone is different, that is true, but mostly when it comes to their hands, they have middle fingers that are longer than their index. The fact that this person’s hands are like this might seem strange to many.
This person, though, likes to take pictures and post them everywhere. We think it’s cool they love their differences. People should definitely take their example.
Color Me Surprised
“You should get a little color.” “You look so pale.” If you are fairer-skinned, you’ve probably heard these a lot. But, this girl is probably told that so that people can feel comfortable looking at her hands.
This really does look like someone else’s hand! It doesn’t seem to bother her, though. She has grown to love it and is willing to let everyone know she has it!
Just One
That first gray hair can be pretty traumatizing for some. Finding it somewhere on your body where it can be hidden is one thing, but this person had theirs in a place that is not easy to hide at all.
While some might be embarrassed by it, this person is celebrating their cool difference! Honestly, we think it’s absolutely awesome — they look like someone straight out of the X-Men.
Split Down the Middle
It is one thing to have an abnormal body part that everyone can see and be proud of. This person’s abnormality has them saying “aww” every time someone brings it up, which is just crazy. At least, that’s how we feel.
This is crazy in the coolest way. But, it does make us wonder — does it have any effect on how their mouth operates? Does it mean that when they sing, they can do both the harmony and the symphony? So many questions…
Double the Toe
Having an extra toe is not as uncommon as one might think. However, this type of toe is rare and a little creepy if you ask us. Still, it doesn’t seem to be too much of a worry for this guy.
This small toe, though, could be a good conversation starter, we guess. After all, it is unique, and no one will be able to compete with them.
