Hey Pandas, What Is Something Your Body Does That You're Not Sure Anybody Else's Does? (Closed)

Something strange your body does that you don't know if anyone else can do it/does it as well?
Keep it PG-13, please.

I don't know about anyone else. I'm sure other people have experienced this but no one I've known has.
I have very sensitive hearing and can pick up very high frequencies, and low frequencies. Those mosquito boxes some businesses like to set up outside to deter teens from loitering I can not only hear but feel in my nervous system and teeth. I'm in my mid 30s.
Cars with very squeaky brakes is agonizing to my ears and head. Others around me may hear something, but it's amplified 10x to me.
Same goes with low frequency set subwoofers. Some, not all, some people set the base so intensely it feels like my head is caving in and about to explode all at the same time. It doesn't appear to affect anyone else around that much.

I’m really good at differentiating colours to the point people think I’m lying.

When I get a cold, it switches on instantly. I'm feeling fine, chugging along with work or whatever, then I sneeze...then I sneeze again, and again and again... About 6-8 times within 20 seconds, and then it stops and I feel sick, instantly. Every feeling of sickness is suddenly there in full force - congestion, headache, drowsiness - with no hint of it coming prior to that. It frightens people who witness it.

Do you see patterns of swirling color when you close your eyes? Color changes, but is usually purple. Sometimes just swirls, sometimes images appear. Last night, there was a little black water skipper going thru, that was new. If the color isn't there, it makes me stressed!🤪

I have tinnitus, but when I am in a quiet room with a fan or other type of white noise I often hear "ghost radio" where I can hear music, announcers, even commercials, but all vague and far away. Sometimes I can identify the genre of music (country vs. rock or classical etc.) but everything I've read says it is all an auditory hallucination form of pareidolia.

I always sneeze (usually two times) after eating dark chocolate or something minty. Sometimes also after drinking dry wine. I'm not allergic to those things, but something triggers my nose.

I often see in black and white when I wake up in the morning. Even in full light it can take a few minutes for my colour vision to kick in. I long assumed this was the same for everyone, but no one I have mentioned it to has experienced it. Makes for a fair few unmatched pairs of socks!

I have 2 things. One of which, I know other people don't have.
1. I have a teratoma in my right ovary, a kind of non-cancerous tumour that can grow its own teeth, hair, and eyes! I currently have teeth in mine :D
2. This one I'm not so sure about, but I have an unusually good sense of smell. Like, I can differentiate between people by smelling them. Before you ask, no I can't describe what people smell like. They smell like people. But interestingly, bad smells have less of an impact on me as I'm so used to smelling them strongly that they just don't affect me anymore.

I can get my elbows to meet behind my back.
I can pull my arm and make it longer.
And my pinkie finger on my left hand bends the wrong way.

When I get hungry, like to the point where I get nauseous, I have sneeze attacks.
Like, if I haven't eaten breakfast or lunch that day (which is most school days) I will get that nauseous feeling you get when you're really hungry, and then I will just sneeze. over and over again. It's really strange.
I looked it up: all i found was people sometimes sneeze after having a big meal, nothing about sneezing when you're hungry

If anything is pointed at my forehead from less than a foot away is paralyes my whole body and I can't talk or move. Found this out in school when someone was holding out a pencil for me and I could not move at all and I couldn't breath and my face started to turn red.
