We Wanna Hear The Story Of How You Learned Your "Normal" Body Thing Was Not, In Fact, Normal At All

For well over a year now, I've been sharing stories about "unusual" things people's bodies do that they had no idea were, in fact, unusual at all until someone else told them.

BuzzFeed readers just like you have been sharing their experiences, and tons of people in the comments have been shocked and relieved to find that they're not alone in having these things (and, sometimes, that there's a name for a thing they've been experiencing their whole lives).

So, this month I am opening the floor up once again. Is there an "unusual" body thing you experience that, honestly, you had no idea was not common? How did you discover the truth? If you feel comfortable doing so, please share your story with us!

In case you need an example, I'll go first. Like the people in the comments were discussing in the screenshot above, I've heard this weird, rain-stick-like sound in the back of my neck for pretty much my whole life. Not all the time, but sometimes. I assumed it was just one of those noises your body makes, like a stomach growl. That was...until I mentioned it offhandedly to my doctor and she said she'd literally never heard of that before.

That is, frankly, not something you love to hear from a medical professional! As you probably guessed, that's apparently not ~normal~. I was shook, to say the very least.

Another one people have shared often is that they have an internal monologue. They think in full sentences, kinda like a narrator in a TV show or book. This, however, is not true for everyone...and people are always slightly horrified to learn that.

Have you ever experienced something like this? In the comments below or via this anonymous form, tell us about the "unusual" body thing you experience and how you found out it was not, in fact, "normal." If applicable, you are welcome to add pictures, as well. Your story just might be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed Community post!
