Barring identical twins, no two bodies are the same.

Indeed, some people are born with rare or unusual elements to their bodies which very few, if any, other people also share.

While some people will go to great lengths to cover these up, or make them less conspicuous, others wear their unique elements with pride.

There are also people whose bodily oddity isn't visible, but instead have a unique genetic makeup, substantially affecting their daily routine for better or worse.


Redditor MissingYouB was eager to hear all bout the most unusual elements of people's bodies, leading them to ask:

"That and frontal bossing and a depressed nasal bridge is the package 'dwarf face' deal when it comes to achondroplasia."

"Guarantees that you’ll always get random strangers approaching you going 'aren’t you that guy from time bandits?'"

" Despite the fact that you were born in 1994."

"There’s more stuff but I could be here all day."

"Just to be clear - these are all symptoms of my dwarfism."

We can't choose the body we're given.

It is a shame that some of these unique traits result in people having added visits to the doctor, or an increased need for medicine.

But whether they're proud or ashamed of their bodily abnormality, they at least know they will always have a conversation starter which will instantly grab everyone's attention.

MAGA Senator Claims You Could Turn Into 'Alien' From Eating 'Radioactive' Shrimp In Bonkers Rant
