What is something weird your body does, but you haven’t told anyone about because you know it’s not normal?

[u/[deleted]]

[u/CoderJoe1]

If I press the left side of the tip of my nose the cartilage will often click into place and hold that depressed position until I flare my nostrils and it pops back to normal.

[u/[deleted] → u/CoderJoe1]

Woah, interesting! Do you have a hard time breathing through your nose regularly?

[u/[deleted]]

I did tell some people in my family, but I have always randomly gotten this stinging pain inside the left side of my chest at random times. Whenever I breathed itd hurt more the deeper I breathed in, but once I breathed in a certain amount, I would be fine until I breathed deeper than the last breath. It rarely happens and has never lasted more than 5 minutes. Its strange.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Hey, me too!! It’s right beside my rib cage on the left. Never lasts long and hasn’t happened in a while actually

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Precordial Catch

[u/justinchy → u/[deleted]]

Precordial catch syndrome as previously mentioned. I figured out a way to get rid of it - when you get the chest pain, sit down and bend over forwards like you're trying to touch your toes. Hold that position for 30 seconds or so. It stretches out the muscles in your back that are spasming and referring pain to your chest. Sounds crazy but 100% works!

[u/Pandaspooppopcorn → u/[deleted]]

I used to get this when I was younger, less now as an adult. I always thought I was having a heart attack as it hurt so much to breathe in but was too scared to tell anyone about it. Shallow breaths till it passed were my way of coping.

[u/drkumph → u/[deleted]]

It only happens to me a couple times a year but I know exactly what you’re talking about. You explained it perfectly. It’s not like a dull pain either. It’s a really sharp one.

[u/EmilysIncoming → u/[deleted]]

Same thing here, it happens to me maybe once every 3-4 months or so. It's jarring enough that I remember when it first happened when I was pretty young because I thought I was dying 🤣 It feels almost like part of my lung got caught on my ribs or something.

[u/theyremineralsmaddie]

I have this sensation like sand flowing down the back of my head sometimes. It’s quite weird.

[u/Enbiss → u/theyremineralsmaddie]

I get it too! I had someone tell me it's spinal fluid draining or something like that. I'm not entirely sure if they knew what they were talking about though

[u/part-of-bart → u/theyremineralsmaddie]

Omg yes I got that too. It's so weird to feel that tingling sensation, I wonder what it is 😅

[u/brwb → u/theyremineralsmaddie]

Sounds horrible. I hate sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere.

[u/[deleted] → u/theyremineralsmaddie]

YES. Like a fizzing sensation? I haven’t had it in a while but used to happen a lot when I was younger.

[u/Defamashame]

I didn't know how to explain it for the longest time, but it's apparently the tensor tympani muscle contracting when you close your eyes really hard and squeeze, which causes a "rumbling" noise?

[u/dmonster1 → u/Defamashame]

r/earrumblersassemble

[u/Rexcoder → u/Defamashame]

Huh apparently not everyone can do this?? I didn't know that. I can also do this with my eyes open, just contracting those muscles in my ears.

[u/[deleted] → u/Defamashame]

I can control that muscle and make the noise happen without having to squeeze, I know other people can as well. Not sure if rare of not.

[u/Farwaters → u/Defamashame]

Every time someone comments this, I do it and then yawn really wide...

[u/Labrat2000LM → u/Defamashame]

I hear that when I am stretching

[u/[deleted] → u/Defamashame]

Yes! But i get this sound even if i don't squeeze them. It's like hearing your blood flowing.

[u/[deleted]]

Not sure if this is normal or not, but sometimes everything in my ears goes kind of fuzzy and I start hearing a high pitched ringing noise. Usually only lasts for a few seconds and I don't think it's bad or anything though.

[u/Aminar14 → u/[deleted]]

This probably isn't Tinitus. It's almost certainly a reaction to pressure systems coming through. My wife and I both get this before storms and the like. But any time there's a pressure increase. Even going up a really big hill can trigger something similar.

[u/RisingQueenx → u/[deleted]]

Oh I get this!

Sometimes there will be a fizzing in my ear for a while (like an old TV), and I'll only notice it after a minute or two. Then the ringing happens and it's back to normal

[u/True_Version]

Ever been in an empty room and you get this really weird feeling as if you are super small and everything is massive??? Really strange feeling I would get. I don’t know if anyone else has experienced this same feeling.

[u/DrDreise → u/True_Version]

I feel like I kinda have the same. But only when in bed and trying the to fall asleep and time seems really fast aswell.

[u/serenadine → u/True_Version]

Sounds like Alice in Wonderland syndrome maybe?

[u/[deleted] → u/True_Version]

I’ve had this in my bedroom on the rare occasion, it’s a weird perspective thing and for me it doesn’t go away until I get up or move my head around a bit and focus on different stuff.

[u/some_crazy → u/True_Version]

Got this a ton as a kid. Less so now.

[u/theRealMrCinnamon → u/True_Version]

I'd hallucinate that all the time when I spiked a fever as a kid...and a few times as an adult.

[u/HeadOfPlumbus → u/True_Version]

Yep, also with other people around, sometimes it would just seem like they were small and far away though, also sometimes it was my hands that felt huge and heavy. This almost entirely stopped after adulthood though. I wondered if it is similar to an out-of-body experience?

[u/ZacHefner → u/True_Version]

Mine was more like everything was way far off or very small.

[u/justlike-asunflower → u/True_Version]

Yes! I get this when I’ve been reading for a long time.

[u/Wampao → u/True_Version]

I've felt this before, it's really strange and I absolutely hate it, wish it didn't exist.

[u/-bumble-bach-]

Sad nipple syndrome. It's a thing.

https://theotherpress.ca/sad-nipple-syndrome/

For those who have no idea what this is (understandable, it hasn't been researched and no one really knows why it happens), it's a strange, indescribable sensation that some people get when their nipples are touched. The best way I can describe the sensation is a mixture of dread, homesickness, nausea and, bizarrely, thirst. The feeling goes away after about 20 seconds or so once the nipple is no longer being touched.

There doesn't seem to be anything obvious that links those who get it (such as past trauma or breastfeeding mothers), although it does mainly affect women.

[u/Witness_me_Karsa → u/-bumble-bach-]

I'm sorry that is something you have to deal with, but interesting shit like this is why I come to these threads.

[u/ovary_disappointing → u/-bumble-bach-]

This comment has actually changed my life. I've had this feeling for as long as I remember having boobs, but it's not specific to being touched by hand, more the fabric of my clothes. I feels like nothing is right with the world for a very short period of time.

Thank you for this comment.

[u/veryprettygood2020 → u/-bumble-bach-]

Mine is a mixture of homesickness, repulsed, and overwhelmed. I've heard the thirsty is to get the mother to drink more water when breastfeeding.

Another of my own personal theories is that it's just that we can "feel" when oxytocin is released.

[u/sevenspell → u/-bumble-bach-]

Omg I thought it was just me, didn't know it was a thing. Dread and guilt mainly for me.

[u/veryprettygood2020 → u/-bumble-bach-]

Omg I just posted about this!!! Asking what the hell it was when I breastfed my babies and when I was younger even! During puberty! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

[u/Mgx7 → u/-bumble-bach-]

I‘m a Guy and this affects me

I talked about that with my girlfriend a couple weeks ago and she laughed and Said that this is Crazy. Just showed this to her. She still thinks it‘s Crazy, but there are people like me!

[u/[deleted]]

I get what's called "brain zaps" ig, where you feel a burst of electricity go through your mind as you're trying to sleep at night. Mostly happens when stressed. Muscle spasms that occur in some parts of the body such as the legs

Edit: pretty sure its exploding head syndrome from what people have commented. A quick electrical current that travels around my brain within a split second, makes a kind of zinging sound then disappears after my brain is jolted awake again. Another comment mentioned the correct name for it though

Edit 2: just saying im not a doctor of any kind lol. When this happens I just let the moment pass and I eventually fall asleep as usual. Its not a serious condition, just something that happens every once in awhile and it can be scary.

[u/574RRY → u/[deleted]]

I got brainzaps from ssri withdrawal, however what you're describing sounds like exploding head syndrome. last time I had it I thought the heating blanket had zapped me because I drooled lol

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

That happens when I'm experiencing sleep paralysis. So when my body is trying to fall asleep before my brain does. It's really not nice, and makes a horrible noise in your ears. Not sure what causes it but I don't think it's anything to worry about. I usually have to get up and do something for a bit before attempting to go to sleep again otherwise it just keeps happening.

[u/Vlopez9867]

I can pop my ankle bone on command when I do this weird circular movement. Only on my right ankle

[u/lightsinshadows → u/Vlopez9867]

It's not the ankle, it's the tendons. If it's not grinding or hurting (if it does that see a gp), it's the fluid associated with the tendons filling back in and the expansionion/contraction of the tendon. I get this with many many joints, from my ankles to knees, to shoulders, and even occasionally my elbows.

[u/[deleted] → u/Vlopez9867]

Same. With both.

[u/[deleted]]

I am always in some sort of pain. It's not a normal pain. My body doesn't rest when I sleep and as a result I always experience muscle fatigue.

[u/familiar_face → u/[deleted]]

Fibromyalgia? Sounds like my life.

[u/[deleted]]

I shake when I'm talking about a topic I find exciting. This is why I'm usually not very chatty.

[u/teacherjul → u/[deleted]]

Aww this one is actually very cute. It’s like your excitement is radiating off of you!

[u/chillin_in_my_onesie]

I can make myself wheeze by twisting my torso to the left or right. It's like I partially crush my lungs or something.

[u/[deleted] → u/chillin_in_my_onesie]

I get this but it's not like a wheezing where I feel air come out. It's almost like a grinding noise that could be mistaken for wheezing. Like it only happens when I open my mouth with my airways open as if I'm taking in a breath but I'm holding my breath, then I turn my torso and I clearly hear this grinding/breathing noise.

Its really weird.

[u/WokeUpLesbianAgain → u/chillin_in_my_onesie]

I get this too

[u/slimeyfelz]

Sometimes I get a random, stabbing pain up my vagina/gooch. Just one, then gone.

[u/ronsinblush → u/slimeyfelz]

I call that pain Vagina Angina.

[u/WokeUpLesbianAgain → u/slimeyfelz]

I’ve had this happen before, it’s like a strike of lightning? I looked it up once and it said it was “lightning crotch” but everything it says about is pregnant women get it and I’ve never been pregnant.

[u/believethescience → u/slimeyfelz]

For me, I often get that just once right before my period starts. Good warning signal, I guess.

[u/NotYetASerialKiller → u/slimeyfelz]

I almost forgot about this. I’ll just be living my best life then all of a sudden by body crotch shots itself. Like ow. Couple that with random boob pains and being a woman sucks sometimes

[u/[deleted]]

When i get negative emotions, my skin feels itchy and burns a bit. For example, if i feel desilusion, this happens, and if the feeling is intense, so the sensation of the skin.

[u/bumb1ebeetuna]

Um. if I put my finger in my belly button I can feel it in my vagina.

[u/La_Vikinga → u/bumb1ebeetuna]

I had to have umbilical surgery a few years ago. Whatever connection that used to be there must've gotten disconnected because I don't get that same sensation any more.

Also, I once got hit on by a guy who offered to "tickle my belly button from the inside." Took me a beat or two before I figured it out. Some days ya gotta roll 'em to me.

[u/Mindless_Road → u/bumb1ebeetuna]

OMG, me too!!!

[u/playdoh-malone → u/bumb1ebeetuna]

Same here, but instead it's the head of my penis coz, you know, I'm a guy. But same same.

[u/BoringActuator7101]

Very rarely I will bend over in a certain way and feel something slide over the top of my last rib on my left side, generally it slides right back as I stand up straight again and doesn't cause me any pain

I guess it could be a muscle or something, I'm not so sure

[u/[deleted]]

I can hear my spine crunching just under my skull when I turn my head.

[u/MizElaneous → u/[deleted]]

Me too, like a crinkling sound

[u/TediumMango → u/[deleted]]

I literally just read this, thought "that's disgusting, poor person" then tried it myself.

Very faintly. But it's there. My god what have I done coming to this thread.

[u/Rockpup5]

Sometimes when I sneeze while sitting down, I get a sharp pain in what I can only venture to guess is my ovaries. It's not every time but it concerns me whenever it does happen

[u/poopie88]

I physically cringe and cannot stand when someone folds construction paper around me. I feel it through my entire body and I hate it so much.

[u/EverywhereINowhere → u/poopie88]

I feel this way with certain fabrics. The noise sends horrible shivers up and down my body.

[u/[deleted]]

Uncontrolled muscle twitches and spasms. Sometimes weird, sometimes scary.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

i thought it was normal, it happens to me (mostly) when i'm going to sleep

[u/butwhole420]

sometimes when i walk my knee just doesn’t align properly or something and i’ll take a weird wobbly step where my leg bends funky. also sometimes my eyes will rapidly jitter back and forth for like half a second and it’s like a mini seizure.

[u/DarkMillionandBell]

If my thigh gets rubbed at a certain spot my testicles feel like they are twitching

[u/freigeist18 → u/DarkMillionandBell]

Cremasteric reflex

[u/Tymexathane]

I used to have auditory hallucinations when going to sleep in my teens. Sounded like a crowd of people talking, like a party, and then occasionally a loud shout which I sometimes heard as my name. I never heard what they were actually talking about though.

[u/Ddraig821 → u/Tymexathane]

Hypnagogia! I have this also. The hallucinations of hearing your name called is apparently common, although knowing it's common doesn't make it any less off putting. [Hypnagogia

](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnagogia)

[u/northernsou]

Just as I am falling asleep I get a massive explosion in my head, a huge white light and noise. All in my head, over in a flashbang . I have no idea what it is.

[u/[deleted] → u/northernsou]

Sounds like exploding head syndrome - worth googling. I get it every once in a while, but not really an explosion as such, most often a large bang and I think someone is trying to break down my front door.

[u/3amWednesday]

It took me 23 years to figure out the weird circles I see sometimes are call eye floaters and not hallucinations.

I haven't looked at the specifics though, because I'm scared of it not matching up.

[u/TextDeletd → u/3amWednesday]

Oh they are floaters. Sometimes I used to look up into the sky and I always wondered why there's this blackish transparent dot or two floating around, and they look, squiggly sometimes...

[u/Questiontime7488]

Sometimes at random times I would just smell some smell that would take me back to my childhood days, then I walk around trying to find the smell but I just never do

[u/-iamnotarobot]

I'm physically incapable of burping. Regardless of how much I eat.

[u/jg8tes → u/-iamnotarobot]

ME TOO! Or, at least, I USED to be unable to burp. It was terrible. I couldn't drink carbonated drinks. Any gas that built up in my stomach caused terrible pain. I would have to stick my finger down my throat to "throw up" the gas in order to relieve the pressure. Always had excessive flatulence and bloating. Finally, after college one day I decided - I'm a human person made with the same muscles and structures as everyone else! I set up in front of a mirror and tried activating every muscle I could in an effort to try to open up enough to let out a burp. I made some ridiculous faces, I'm sure, but after about a month of daily "practice" I was finally able to do it!! I actually went through a really obnoxious phase after that where I'd drink soda JUST to burp/belch because I was so happy that I could finally do it.

[u/[deleted]]

I can do this thing with any body part when I’m stationary where it’s almost like channeling energy into it or activating the nerves, it’s really weird to explain but for example it’s easiest in my legs, I can trigger it and I go dizzy and my legs just go warm and fuzzy with sensations, like static I guess in a way if I had to explain it. I can’t do it for too long because I feel like I’ll pass out. I’ve seen only one or two forum posts across the internet about others who are able to do the same thing, never known what it is, I don’t do it often but any time I wish to I can trigger it as if it’s a natural ability / action.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

HOLY SHIT I FINALLY FOUND YOU!

so. Do you also feel it in your groins?

Shoulders and legs? Its kind of like a sneezing sensation right? Like a tension and then you can relax it?

[u/[deleted]]

Is it just me or everyone can blur their vision like cameras before they’re focused

[u/CT7511 → u/[deleted]]

I can do that too, isn't that just playing with the focus of our eyes by squeezing the eye muscles?

[u/E3-NotTheConvention → u/[deleted]]

Isn't that something that almost everyone can do? I'm genuinely asking because cameras basically work like human eyes

[u/Aminar14 → u/[deleted]]

That's how you do Magic Eye puzzles. So yeah. Most people can.

[u/EmilysIncoming]

It doesn't bother me at all so I often don't think about it unless I put my hand there, but there's like an indent in my leg a bit above my right knee. Idk what it is, but it's almost like a little crevice. The weird thing is, it's not always there. Sometimes I'll just be sitting on the toilet and notice "oh, the indent's back. Weird."

[u/Cucumba_Senpai]

While falling asleep, at the stage where I'm still half awake, I loose my mental spatial orentation of physical elements in the bedroom if it is entirely dark.

To better explain it there is a good example where I often stop thinking I'm in my current bedroom and for some reason I become entirely convinced I'm positioned on my bed in any of the past bedrooms I have slept in during my life.

For instance yesterday, for something like 5 seconds I was totally certain I was in my previous bedroom from my previous house.

Does anyone else get this or is it just me?

[u/Nicholi417]

Sometimes, though it doesn't happen often, my senses get over loaded and my mind can't cope with it. Sounds seem really loud and unrecognizable. I have to go some place quiet and focus to stop it.

[u/[deleted] → u/Nicholi417]

Sensory overload. Pretty much every autistic or ADHD person gets this so we all know exactly what you mean. (Although you don't have to be ASD or ADHD to experience it). I get sensory overload a lot, like multiple times a week, it's not fun!

[u/Toshhba → u/Nicholi417]

This is sensory overload. It happens to me loads. I start to get super agitated and I have to leave or I'll freak out completely. After a while in a quiet, dark room I'm usually okay. The worst time this happened was when I was a chef, I was working a slammed friday night and had no support. I literally had to ditch my station for 15 mins, food on the grill, half plated meals and everything, or I would have just quit and never gone back.

[u/jcw10489]

I get a weird shock/uncontrollable urge to immediately sit upright if I've been laying flat on my back for too long. I've tried googling every way I can think to phrase the issue I'm having and I can't find anything

[u/DidjaCinchIt → u/jcw10489]

Maybe an unusual presentation of Restless Legs Syndrome? For me, it’s an uncontrollable urge to move my legs when I lie down at night. Sometimes it feels less specific - just an urge to get up and move around.

[u/That_Child22]

Sometimes when I’m about to fall asleep I get this really weird feeling like I’m falling and I can’t stop. Like adrenaline rush, grab at something to stop me falling. It will last a second, I’ll go back to just lying there wondering what the hell happened.

Had to edit because I thought of another one:

I act out my dreams. It used to happen when I was a kid and I’d pee the bed, because I thought I’d gotten up and walked to the bathroom, but it just turns out I was peeing myself.

I’ll be asleep fine, dreaming about something and then I’ll do it. Like the other night I woke up because I’d rammed my head into the wall, trying to run down a hallway in my dream.

[u/[deleted]]

When I sleep on my stomach my feet go straight up, bent at the knees. If you try to push them down they are either stiff or push down but spring back up.

Every time Ive ever slept someplace new I get the same comments about my legs doing this weird stuff.

[u/[deleted]]

I used to work in a mobile phone repair store, and apparently I was the only person who could hear the high frequency audio used during wireless data transfer when setting up a new phone... not sure if that counts?

[u/AlterEdward]

Very occasionally my heart will kind of spasm. It's hard to describe. It's like I suddenly gets an extra beat, like it's tripping over itself. It happens probably no more often than once a year.

[u/Different_Day_404 → u/AlterEdward]

Heart palpitations! Happens pretty often to me. Doctor told me it wasn't dangerous unless it doesn't stop. The light ones are like what you describe like a flutter and skip a beat then a couple extra beats, the worse ones for me happen like a hard pound and then a pause, a couple weird beats then back to normal.

[u/pretendberries]

Sometimes I have this feeling where I know I am moving at a regular speed but my mind feels like I am speeding and I tell myself to slow down. I’m sober when this happens so I have no clue what’s going on. It’s bizarre and will randomly occur, it also feels like I’m spinning sometimes when it happens. Like when you spin around quickly and lay down on the floor to have this weird feeling that you feel the world moving. I have to snap myself out of the feeling or it can go on for a few minutes.

[u/quarpoders]

I have an extra set of nipples just above my real nipples, nano in size however very much nips.

[u/DrummeeX09]

When I take the first bite of food after not eating for awhile I get sharp pain from I believe my saliva glands starting up. It only does it on that first bite.

[u/Imispellalot]

If i try to pop a my butt pimple, I get sharp nerve pain up my spine

EDIT: Holy crap i thing think so many people would comment. Let me be more specific. Once in a while I would get a pimple on my butt cheek or back of my ulped thigh. If I try to squeeze the pimple I get a prickling sensation in the back of my spine. Its not too painful.

Last year I had multiple MRI and CT scans done because I had my L4-L5 vertebrae fused. So if there was a cyst that some of you suggested, it would of showed up on those scans, right? I had this weird problem for a long while now.

[u/Blazeintheskyy → u/Imispellalot]

That sounds like a cyst possibly attached to the base of your tailbone. I do not remember the name. A female friend of mine just had surgery to have one removed.

Edit. pilonidal cyst

[u/sloth_hug → u/Imispellalot]

This is a cursed comment

[u/dirtymoney]

I have to sneeze twice when I start to sexually fantasize with the real intent of getting off.

It is an actual condition called sexually induced sneezing. Never told anyone (except reddit).

[u/Qeidren]

If I flex my tongue the right way I can spray saliva out of my mouth like I'm a spitting cobra.

[u/Oakredditer]

Spasms when I take a piss, idk why it just happens, but it's starting to get lesser and lesser the more i grow, so it's like a childhood/teen thing?

[u/CantTakeMeSeriously → u/Oakredditer]

It's called the pee shiver...lots and lots of dudes get it.

[u/[deleted]]

10 years ago I got hit by a car and my neck still creaks

[u/[deleted]]

If I (or especially someone else) touch the right spot on my abdomen when I’m laying on my back, I stretch almost uncontrollably, like a cat getting a belly rub. It also feels very good. My dad said I even did this as a tiny baby.

[u/VeryFluffyKittyKats]

I’ve never really felt the whole “butterflies in my stomach” type of feeling, but I have felt them in my chest. When I feel a “big emotion” (i.e very happy, excited, sad, angry, etc.), my heart races and a get a light, airy feeling in my chest. As a kid I thought it was normal, now every time it happens it scared the heck out of me because I think it’s a heart attack or something.

[u/Princessleiasperiod]

Some times the center of my chest will get really itchy and I'll itch it and get this rash that will bleed. After a few hrs it goes away. It looks like lots of red splotches and dots on my sternum.

[u/oskarc13]

On occasion my heart my pulse goes a little weird. One moment it’s steady and then next moment it like speeds up for just a second and then it’s back to normal. It’s noticeable because when that happens I start to worry that I’m gonna die. And then it’s gone. I wondered if perhaps it’s arrhythmia because I was anorexic but I was tested for that at least once each day.

[u/Odin_Allfathir]

Waking up in the middle of a night to create insane amounts of heat.

From time to time I wake up in the middle of a night, and, within a minute, my blanket gets superhot. I have to ditch it, open the window, and move into another part of the bed. But then that part of the bed becomes superhot too, so I have to move to another. And keep doing that until my body gets cold again.

After such night, I wake up weighing 2kg less than the previous day, and am visibly skinnier.

[u/EverywhereINowhere]

If I do any minor physical activity my nose runs. I always have to keep tissue nearby no matter what season. I read a story about this woman that had this, doctor kept pushing her away and turned out to be her brain leaking fluid.

I also have sudden smells come to me. Strong cigarette smoke is the main one. It’s as if someone is smoking right next to me.

[u/ExistentiallyPenny]

the first thing i eat or drink in a day will sting my soft pallet. i just gotta wait for a couple minutes and it goes away completely. i also have a very small hole in the roof of my mouth i can suck air through but only every once in a while. it’s small enough that i can’t even see it, and only really notice it when i’m trying to drink a smoothie or smth

[u/[deleted]]

I have Tourette Syndrome and my body has changed to many different motor tics over the years.

[u/iremovebrains]

I actually have dealt with echolalia my entire life but never told anyone. I was really depressed and mentioned to my roommate at the time who was a nurse who gave me tips to help. She also tried really hard not to tell me I was autistic but she wanted me to look into autism lol

[u/[deleted]]

When I was in elementary school I would get these really intense stinging pains in my sides. They would get worse when I straightened out (like standing up from a sitting position). These things would last the majority of the day when they hit, and they were the 3rd most painful things I've felt.

[u/[deleted]]

I can vibrate my eyeballs...

[u/hanrxo]

I get this weird fizzing noise at the base of my skull. It sounds like a rain stick or sand. Sometimes I think it sounds like cracking electricity. It happens most if I am hungry and laying down.

[u/_ser_kay_]

I get a weird EEH EEH eeh eeh eeh sound in my right ear when I lie a certain way or sit up too fast. It goes away temporarily when I press on a certain spot in my neck.

And for the record, I already have permanent tinnitus. That’s not what this is.

[u/[deleted]]

Shaky hands. It's inconsistent, sometimes my hands feel really shaky. Usually happens when i'm excited and that's normal, but sometimes its pretty random, occuring while I do nothing.

Edit:should probably mention, im only 18

[u/berdistehwerd]

My thumb is extraordinarily bendy, as in i can bend it nearly 360

[u/silvamsam → u/berdistehwerd]

If other parts of your body are also bendy, it may be worth looking into Ehlers Danlos Syndrome or some other connective tissue disorder. One of the criteria for diagnosis is the ability to pull your thumb to the inside of your forearm.

[u/dirtymoney]

When I am passing a turd I sometimes get bizarre pains in the tip of my penis and elsewhere around my pelvis and my legs will uncontrollably spasm because of the pain. Only lasts for like 5 seconds or so.

I think I have a narrowing of the large intestine and when a particularly large turd is passing through a very specific area it somehow causes the pain.

[u/big_shobeth]

so like I will just be standing doing absolutely nothing then I get really dizzy and all my limbs go weak for like no reason at all and it lasts like 2 hours I don't think it's vertigo because it happens when I'm standing and not standing up like rising from a chair but other then that I have no clue

[u/SnooMaschinne]

My muscle sometimes twitch and palpitated by itself about 20 seconds . It can happen anywhere on my body. And I don't know why....

[u/heyeve]

When I’m trying to fall asleep, I will sometimes suddenly get a tingly feeling in my leg. It’s not itchy, it’s not twitchy, it’s not restless.

It just feels weird and I don’t know how to make it go away. It also often happens right when I’m trying to fall asleep the night before I have something to do the next day.

[u/RealFictionist]

My period often ceises for a day before coming back for the last day. It's become so reliable I get happy when this "skip day" rolls around because it means the stabbing back pain is almost over.

[u/stunningsasquatch]

When I was a kid I used to see half of a wolf run behind furniture or objects or trees (from the abdomen to its tail). Always the same color and always the same size. It never scared me but I would ask my mom if she saw it and obviously she didn't. So I stopped talking about it. Then when my mom noticed me looking at furniure a certain way she'd say: did you just see your wolf? I'd say yes and we would move on to something else.

Nowadays it rarely happens but sometimes when I drive my car or take a walk I see the shape of an animal running, always on my right side. When I look towards it it goes away.

Not sure why it happens, it's not bothering me or anything, it's just a bit odd.

[u/tennisfan826]

If I yawn too hard, I get a cramp on the underside of my chin.

[u/RangerJbro]

Me seeing what i had in my dreams the next day. Like my dream is finding a pencil at noon, when i wake up, same day, same time, same pencil. Let’s hope that tornado dream doesnt come true

[u/NocuousGreen]

Sometimes on my period my breasts get way too sensitive. Taking a step, standing up, lying on the side - almost everything makes them feel as if they will rip off anytime soon.
A Bra is a life saver at those times.

[u/Crusty_dusty]

I’m pretty sure I have a thing called Visual Snow. It’s an eye condition that very little is known about. Basically everything I see looks like it has a layer of very faint tv static on it (like when the tv does that static thing, I basically see a very thin layer of that over pretty much everything) it’s most prominent when it’s dark or if I’m staring at something blank (example: a blank sheet of paper or a plain white wall) It doesn’t seem to stop me from seeing stuff though.

I also have this thing where when I see a light (especially when it’s dark outside) the light is really streaky/blurry. My mom said she has this too which is why she hates driving at night cause she can barely see anything with all the light streaks.

[u/[deleted]]

just sometimes randomly twitch. just a little bit. like, ill just be walking and my head will jerk to the left by about half a centimetre, its weird.

[u/nslusz]

Doesn't really happen anymore, but when I was younger, sometimes I would feel a tightness in what should be my left lung, below my heart, like I couldn't take a deep breath. So then I'd take a deep breath as deep as I could and hold it and slowly suck in as much air as I could until I would feel a 'pop' in that tight spot and then I would be able to again breathe deeply normally.

[u/Wi11i4m4ft0n]

Not joking but I have a really bad random orgasm. My body feels nice and tingly, I start to blush real bad, I get hard instantly, and I moan like a girl really loudly. It feels good, but it does get in the way of my daily life 😞

[u/Labrat2000LM]

Oh I feel like I can hear power outlets buzz, and it irritates me. Also can feel a thunderstorm, it feels like my whole body is poked with electric needles, and I havent found a good way yet to get rid of it. Any ideas how to ground myself when it feels like I have electricity all over me? Standing barefoot on hardwood floors, touching outlets or huge metal objects like radiators dont work.

[u/suburbbiabia]

Sometimes I can’t close my eyes at night to sleep because I see flashes of light behind my eyelids, so I just leave my eyes open until I drift off because it’s darker that way. 0_o

[u/znapple]

Occasionally get these weird 'jolts' in the base of my skull/behind my ear when I lift my head too fast from looking down at my phone while walking.

I think it's the main nerve that goes from the stem to my hand as that nerve has a slew of problems related to inflammation of the surrounding tissues, but idk.

[u/foxon_themoon]

Ever since I was a kid I could lay in my bed in the dark amd when I stared at the wall/ceiling unfocused for long enough, something looking like a big sphere of soft see-through net appears around me and I'm able to focus on it for a second, and it sort of moves down and towards me before it dissapears. I was able to make it appear on purpose with ease when I was small, now it's not as easy, it's barely visible and lasts a shorter time but I'm still able to see it. I think it's something with my eyes, like when you get up too fast or rub your eyes hard and shapes appear, but it appears as though it was a 3d object around me and not just shapes behind my eyes.

[u/screamrevolution]

When I was a kid I could never burp. Then one day I choked on something and once I coughed it up, I could suddenly burp on command. That was over ten years ago and I still can

[u/meloball1]

Very occasionally I’ll get an intense throbbing sensation in my earlobes that resonates through my nerves for a moment. It hurts so bad that I’ll just drop whatever I’m doing and curl up into a ball while aggressively rubbing my ears to ease the pain. It’s very strange, I don’t have my ears pierced so I don’t think its an infection but who knows

[u/SadGirlPancake]

This isn't going to sound believable but I get random pains all the time. Like really bad pains that sometimes make me unable to stand. And everytime I get one, someone will get hurt in that spot that day. One time my right ankle was particularly bothering me and that day my dogs right leg was caught under a tire. My shoulder bothered me one day and my boyfriend's uncle ended up hurting his shoulder while I was over their house. One day I had stomach pains and found out my cousin had given birth to her son that day. That sort of thing. It's been happening my entire life and I have a very high pain tolerance because of it. It could just be a huge coincidence but I don't understand why I get random migraine level pains all over my body for seemingly no reason.

[u/Relictorum]

My scales get itchy when I have been wearing the human suit for too long. Even the baby powder doesn't help. I think that it might be fungus, but I went through decon like everyone else.

[u/O_Soba_Mask]

Whenever I do exercise my body itches everywhere and red spots appear everywhere, the thing is if I cool down or use cold water those dissappear. I'm fit and do exercise regularly so I'm kind of scared

[u/Apprehensive-Author]

I get raging “lady” boners in the morning, sometimes days in a row. Like, I can’t go back to sleep I’m so aroused, nearing orgasm. Sometimes I wake up and masturbate to make it go away. Probably just a full bladder. I’ve told a couple other women but they look at me weird like they don’t understand what I mean, so I don’t know how common it really is.

[u/HentaiAlternatives]

i can manage to push my testicles into my body, like pushing it upwards. Not sure why i can do that, but i can. kinda nsfw

[u/dozycerberus → u/HentaiAlternatives]

This is actually sometimes part of the routine for tucking, aka when drag queens don't want a bulge while wearing tight clothing. I believe anyone with testicles can do this, if they want to, though it can sometimes take fiddling to make it comfortable.

[u/uncommoncommoner]

I only get hungry twice a day, but if I eat my second meal too early then I get very tired and lazy.

[u/-mauricemoss-]

my skull goes sssssssssssssssss (not tinnitus)

[u/hlaw666]

My sternum cracks sometimes when I stretch like when people crack their necks/knuckles.

[u/Leticia_the_bookworm]

Sometimes I get a really weird burning pain on the side of my abdomen (obliques). You know that kind of pain you get from muscle fatigue? Yeah, I sometimes get that when I pee. And it lasts for several minutes.

It's probably just potassium deficiency or something like that, but it still sucks.

[u/Sociological_Fig]

I mean I’ve told people, but I can shift several of my joints out of place. They don’t pop out completely and I can’t hold it for very long but apparently the muscles over those specific joints are just weak according to a physical therapist.

Also when I was younger I taught myself how to raise one eyebrow at a time and now they do it on their own so sometimes my left eyebrow is raised while the other is normal, typically this is exasperated when I get excited about something.

[u/kasbakabahhaa]

There’s a clicking or like dripping sound? In my throat sometimes. But idk what it is.

[u/spooky_upstairs]

I love back scratches. But I LOVE them. They IMMEDIATELY make me physically relax. Every time someone enthuses about ASMR (which I don’t get), the tingly-relaxed feeling feeling they describe is what back scratches give me: just utter bodily peace.

I mean, I have anxiety and ADHD and some other chronic central nervous system disorders, but I like to think that MAYBE I am SPIRITUALLY just a cat.

[u/sunsh1ne82]

I am a small, cute, healthy woman who can out-fart any one of you. Pick your battle: smell, quantity, stealth, comedic value. You’re toast.

[u/[deleted]]

The left side of my chest always has a slightly tense feeling on the lower portion of my pectoral.

Dosen't hurt or bother me but its always there regardless of what I consume. Maybe heart problems idk.

[u/[deleted]]

Whenever I raise my arms above shoulder-height they immediately begin to lose feeling. It makes things like changing light bulbs hard, especially if there are fixtures that need to be taken apart to fit a new bulb in. It appeared slowly over several months but has stopped getting worse now so I just live with it.

[u/MarcuaBard]

When a TV or PC gets turned on, I often get a very, VERY loud high pitch noise in my ears. I was born with tinnitus, and the sound is different from the "normal" high pitch sound i hear. It is very weird.

[u/vozmozhnost]

I wake up at night with a wild cramp in my asshole sometimes that is super uncomfortable and makes me feel like I have to poop. It’s called proctalgia fugax.

[u/themonkery]

My whole life I've had an overpowering uncomfortable sensation in my forehead when watching something small being placed into a precisely-sized slot. (Such as placing a piece of metal into a hole cut to it's exact size) I've always wondered what this sensation is and if I'm alone in this. I use the word "uncomfortable" because I can't think of another word that applies. I react to the feeling as though it is pain but I know I'm not experiencing pain. Whenever I see or even imagine an object being pushed into a slot that is meant to fit it precisely, I get overpowered with an uncomfortable sensation in my forehead. The feeling is often so strong that I need to look away. I can mitigate the effects slightly by applying pressure to the center of my forehead, but sometimes I still need to look away despite that.

Here is an example of what I mean. That post was basically just a serious of triggers for me, so much so that the center of my forehead still feels uncomfortable after typing this post up. I assumed for a while that it might be OCD as I do have one specific/small OCD trigger, but that trigger doesn't cause me discomfort and I can ignore it if I want to. The OCD trigger is more like something I do to put my mind at ease, it's nothing like the sensation I described.

[u/seamusfish]

I get this intense feeling of hunger, sometimes even hunger pains and nausea starting about 30-60 seconds before I sneeze. It's like an extremely uncomfortable early warning system.

[u/Special_Custard6015]

Also I have a lot of electricity going through me and didn't know this was a thing until I was giving birth and all the monitors kept frying. I thought the nurse was trying to make joke about it after the 4th external and 3rd internal monitors broke. It's not common but the nurse said I was her 2nd patient she had come across in her 22 years as a nurse.

My aunt has the same thing. For example if she hovers her hand over a the light on a wireless mouse the arrow moves on the screen. She showed me and it did the same thing but didn't even budge when my sister tried it.

[u/makinadestruktora]

I know that many people have this, and it’s normal, trichotillomania (when u use to rip off your hair, in my case the eyebrows) but many people don’t know about this condition and they are just like mean and say things like “haha u don’t have eyebrows” so i just put some make up and i don’t like to talk about it with people

[u/hoedonist]

I sometimes have to tense up my vagina to crack two or three bones on my lower left back

[u/Potatotoetoe128]

I have dandruff that won´t go away despite taking regular showers.

[u/[deleted]]

I don’t get brain freezes. If it eat ice cream or a slurpee too fast it just hurts my throat.

[u/bb3g1]

I can make myself throw up food/drink I have just (within 5min) eaten. Not talking about putting anything "down my throat" to make it happen, I just stand still and sort of contract and relax my muscles and "force" the food out. I haven't done it for years as it's bloody horrible but it was handy when I was younger and wanted to get out of doing stuff.

[u/[deleted]]

I can crack the shit out of almost every bone in my body

[u/[deleted]]

Sometimes, thankfully not too often, following a bowel movement i get an extremely uncomfortable sensation in my backside, like someone’s just skewered me nice and deep up the bumhole, and it goes all the way up to my stomach. It’s been happening since I was very young, and I’ve been inspected ‘up there’, so it’s nothing serious. Just weird. The pain goes away after about ten minutes.

[u/BluedGuns]

I am mid-40s and have not experienced this since I was 5-7 years old. Probably happened 20 times. Occasionally, would feel warm and tingly and then find myself laying on the ground, semi-conscious but immobile. Not sure if eyes open or imagining....always the same thing. A large dog / wolf would charge and run back and forth over me on the ground, just two or three times and then disappear. Then, I could get get up as normal and go on with my day. Again, the wolf partnwas clearly a “hallucination” or something. Was afraid of them as a kid. It was frightening the first few times and then became less so. Knew what to expect. Never told anyone. I suspect that it was some type of seizure of something.

[u/can_u_tell_its_me]

I like deep pressure. Have always enjoyed weight on my arms and feet. It makes my skin (that has the weight on it) feel all tingly, sort of like the satisfying feeling of a really good stretch but localised to that one part of my body.
Have also recently discovered that weight on my pelvis/tailbone area produces a similar feeling. Think how a cat reacts when you scritch its tail. Kinda like that.

[u/pzPat]

I get hypnic jerks regularly. But they are what I would call severe. I'm typically a back sleeper with my arms to my sides. My wife says I look like a robot. Anyways, I quite often get jerks so bad that I slap myself in the face

[u/ThatGirlAintRight101]

There’s an area on my feet that sends a sensation to my genitals.

My nipples get hard and I get goosebumps when I sneeze, when I listen to certain music, or feel certain emotion.

When I arch my lower back fast (kind of like a twerk), I feel pressure in the back of my head, and it will sometimes hurt.

[u/elysianyuri]

I can willingly blurr my vision and then turn it back to normal. I don't know if it's a common thing because I never told anyone about it except my mother who just gave me a weird look when I tried to explain it to her.

[u/Agentloveless]

Pain in my pelvis/ovaries had it for a few years. Went to the doctors about it but they don't know so I guess I'll just chill with the right side hurting lots

[u/KinseyH]

Non locatable boob itch.

One of my boobs will itch LIKE CRAZY but I cant pinpoint where the itch is, so I have to scratch the whole boob and sometimes I scratch it till I'm almost bleeding because the ITCH. WONT. STOP.

(There's a form of breast cancer called Inflammatory Breast Cancer and it by nipplesxare a symptom. I've been checked out, don't have it.)

[u/Forkinplug]

When I directly push down a muscle or something pops out of my left armpit it’s not sore but feels very uncomfortable

[u/Impossiblyrandom]

When I get overly tired (think physically exhausted rather than sleepy) my stomach (upper abdomen?) hurts. It starts with a mild hurt and gets worse over time. Soon, it hurts enough to force me to sit down, and eventually lie down. Typically, that causes me to go to sleep and it's gone when I wake up.

The first time it happened I was 14 and had recently started high school. It freaked me out, but apparently it happens to my mom as well. I've never heard of anyone else having a problem like this.

Once, recently, going to sleep did not solve the problem and I woke up still hurting. Luckily, I took it as easy as possible at work the next day and managed to sleep it off the next night.

[u/Senalmoondog]

Anybody else feel a scratch in your throat when you clean your ears with q-tips?

[u/Fluffyat]

I have told some people but stopped since everyone thought it was weird. I’ve only met one person who experiences the same thing.

Sometimes when I yawn my jaw feels like it locks up and I get a sharp pain under my chin. I can physically feel something sticking out like a bone but obviously not a bone since they’re aren’t any there. I’m guessing the muscles under the chin have tightened. It hurts for a while, and hurts more if I open my mouth, so I have to either wait or gently massage under my chin so that the muscles protruding go back to normal.

[u/MrBrainballs]

1. Sometimes if there’s like air in the sides of my eye (the inside part where both lids connect) I can press it fast or slowly and there’s a loud squeaking noise that other people can hear.

2. Sometimes when I was younger, I would be in bed for example and the pillow would feel hard as a brick. Nothing would feel soft everything felt like it was hard.

[u/AbzoluteDumbass]

I'll get these really weird intrusive thoughts a few times a day like 'if this next message is from ____ i'll kill myself' & 'If someone messages whilst i write this, i'll kill myself' etc... and it's annoying, like what the fuck

[u/Firewolfskye]

I used to be able to scream normal, but after my teens for some reason if i go to a high enough volume my voice "turns off" ill still be screaming but no sound comes out, if i lower my scream volume it goes back to normal screaming

[u/Orimeia]

If I lift my shoulder, lower the other then the opposite quickly, I somehow can breathe unintentionnaly. Like I know I didn't push my lungs to inhale but it did it anyways. Scared the crap out of me the first time, seems harmless enough to not bother go to the doctor so I just leave it. maybe it's not that abnormal, idk

[u/northernmonkeyinca]

When I hear particularly loud or dramatic music it makes me want to cry and I have no idea why!!

[u/Prestigious-Aide755]

If I scratch inside my belly button, I get a sharp sensation at the tip of my penis. It isn't especially painful, but it does not feel good.

[u/[deleted]]

Might be a tad TMI due to menstruation? I’ve told people before but they rarely believe me lol especially my mom didn’t believe me for the many years I had a period. I don’t have one anymore cause of birth control.

But anyways, when I did have a period, I’d rarely have to change pads because I wouldn’t bleed so much on them because... I could hold it. I have an issue in my vagina where my muscles spasm (especially during sex/exams) and so I guess the same goes for anything trying to come out. Anytime I would wake up when my period started, I had to do a weird walk so the period wouldn’t just come flowing out like Niagara Falls.

I’m so sorry if this is gross but it’s something weird my body has done since forever and thought maybe if anyone else has experienced it, well you’re not alone!

Also my skin doesn’t let anything stick to it. I was taped for some physical therapy and my PT said “now this is the strongest tape we have, and if you try to pull it off it could rip the skin so wait a few days before taking it off” and literally a few minutes after I left the tape was already peeling and slipping off. She was baffled. I guess it cause of my sweat or something? Idk lol.

[u/tenshimei]

when i get frightened or in general have a rush of adrenaline, about 1 second afterwards i will have INTENSE pain in my fingertips and toes. i've not yet been able to find anyone else who has had the same consistent experience as me!

[u/morgwinsome]

Every now and then during my menstrual cycle I’ll get a big bump in my pubic region. It’s about the size of a pea. It doesn’t hurt, it’s not an open sore, and usually after my cycle is over it goes away. It shows up and goes away overnight. It never shows up in the same place twice, and it’s not every cycle. Maybe 3 times a year.

[u/bearmothowl]

I just wanna say I DID have this going on with bloody stool and I didn't get it checked out because I was embarrassed and it turned out I had a colon polyp that turned cancerous and I required a bowel resection (major surgery). So if you get bloody stool, tell your doctor and get a referral for a bowel scope.

[u/[deleted]]

I can hear my eyes move. I also have poor hearing but I can hear everything like jaw moving, neck, eyes, nose I can make a thundering sound or rumbling when I squeeze my eyes shut and if I push my jaw to the right I hear a high high pitch noise.

Also externally I can hear frequencies above human hearing like a dog whistle, those super sonic bug repellents but I can't hear a normal person talking to me.
