20 ordinary people told what makes them extraordinary (26 photos)
Did you know that only 1-2% of people in the world have naturally red hair? Or that only 1% of the world's population have different colored eyes? Although there are more than 8 billion people on the planet, there is always something about each of us that makes us unique. And to prove this, Reddit users decided to talk about their features, thanks to which they stand out from the statistics. 
1. “I had a liver transplant 32 years ago, and I am one of the few who managed to successfully come off immunosuppressants.” 
2. “My blood is both first negative and CMV negative, which means I can donate to both adults and newborns.” 
3. “On a bitter note, I have multiple sclerosis. On a more pleasant note, I am one of those rare cases where, as a result of daily treatment, the lesions on my MRI scans have almost disappeared. They went from very large to barely noticeable, and some even disappeared completely. I will still always have this disease, and I will still always need to live at a slow and careful pace so as not to trigger a relapse, but for now I consider myself lucky, given how things are going with this disease in general.” 
4. “I am a victim of human trafficking. Approximately 0.5% of the world's population is currently victims of human trafficking." 
5. “I am a black woman (the product of two black parents) and have green eyes and blonde hair. These dormant slave-owner genes come out every now and then!” 
6. “Only 1% of couples experience repeat miscarriages (3 or more). We are part of this 1%. Luckily, we had a baby last year!” 
7. “I started going gray at age 13. By the age of 23, I was already completely gray.” 
8. “Until I was 18, I grew up in orphanages. “I’m alive, I’ve never been to jail, I’ve built a very successful career, I’ve bought a house, I’m a wonderful mother and in a very happy marriage.” 
9. “My vision is 20/10. 50% is better than 20/20, and only 0.05% of people have this. I also have incredibly good night vision." 
10. “I have mild prosopagnosia (face blindness). I think it's actually a much more common thing, it's just that not everyone knows they have it. I didn't realize this until I was 35. You just live your life thinking you're an inattentive dumbass or not realizing that other people are much better at recognizing faces.
I was also the first woman in the world in my position.” 
11. “I have anisocoria, which means my pupils are very different sizes.” 
12. “I can bench press 180 kg without support or a spotter, or 140, but with 10 repetitions. Please don’t downvote, I know I’m bragging, but I’m very proud of it.” 
13. “I have aphantasia, the inability to picture things in my mind.” 
14. “A family member of mine was a first aid responder during the 9/11 attacks.” 
15. “Dad and I (had) three sets of teeth. Dairy and two sets of indigenous" 
16. “I’m over 60 and I climb trees for a living.” 
17. “I’ve had breast cancer three times. And these are not relapses" 
18. “I have virtually no circadian rhythms. This is called irregular sleep-wake pattern and mainly occurs in blind people and people with brain damage. I sleep like a newborn: my life consists of short sleep breaks; I sleep when I sleep, and I am awake when I am awake - it is not connected with either day or night. This also means that I am constantly tired. I also have bipolar disorder.” 
19. “I am ambidextrous and have heterochromia. One eye is green, the other is brown." 
20. “I am allergic to fermented alcohol (wine, beer, cider).” 
21. “I have retrograde cricopharyngeal dysfunction. That is, I am physically incapable of burping" 
22. “When I was 15, I got measles - there hasn’t been a single case in our area for more than 30 years. And yes, I was vaccinated" 
23. “I can shoot water from the corner of my left eye.” 
24. “I use my mouse backwards. I mean, on the wrong side. My mother taught me this as a child, and until middle school I didn’t understand that it was wrong.” 
25. “I have a double uvula—it looks like it’s split in two.”
