Just found out due to this other guy who posted about his hands that this is called “Arachnodactyly.”
I kind of fell down a google hole about it. I means “spider fingers” and can just be genetic “normal” or caused by one of many genetic conditions such as Marfans or Beals.
My fingers in particular are actually way more flexible than average, but I’ve never been diagnosed with any connective tissue disorders and my spine is normal so it is weird that they do that.
I just remember my friends saying I had Jack Skellington hands in high school, but the term I’ve heard the most is “piano fingers.”
My finger to palm ratio isn’t as crazy as that other guy’s but I find it interesting! I’ve never even considered my health in context to how my hands look.
