Everyone is unique in their own way. From how we look to our personalities, so many different factors set us apart from others in the world.

Deep down, everyone feels as though they are pretty rare and unique. But, besides our own personal feelings on the matter, there isn't anything to suggest that someone is more unique than someone else—until now that is.

While birthdays are unique in that they celebrate a particular person, on the day you were born, so were thousands of others.

So while you may feel your day is special and unique to you, a more pessimistic person might have pointed out at one point that it's really not THAT special.

But, that person would actually be wrong.

Depending when you were born, you might actually be a little more special than other people. You have science to thank for making this new discovery. Unless you don't fall in the months they pointed out.

A recent TikTok video shared online proved this to be true.

TikTok channel "Just The Nobodys" are two friends who share a podcast and talk about pretty much everything. In a recent video, they shared that there's scientific proof that some people are "rarer" than others.

It all comes down to when you are born.

According to their video, some people are considered rare because scientists have studied, based on human data, which month is the most common to be born in and which month is the rarest to be born in.

Apparently, there is a top five for both categories.

According to their video, the top five most common months to be born in goes as follows: the 5th most common is July, the 4th most common is August, the 3rd most common is March, the 2nd most common is October, and the most common birth month is September.

Then, there are the rare months.

The 5th most rare birth month happens to be November, the 4th most rare is January, the 3rd most rare is April, the 2nd is December, and the month that is rarest happens to be February.

That means if you have a birthday in February, you're a rare breed.

It seems as though out of all the birth months in the 12-month calendar, February has the fewest people who celebrate their birthdays. Not to mention, it's the shortest month of the year, as well.

When you were born can also determine a whole lot about your personality.

Aside from being "rare" and "unique," the month you were born can say a lot about who you are as a person. As it turns out, each season produces a certain "type" of individual, according to astrology.

If you're born in the spring, you are more of an optimist.

Being born in the spring is a blessing and a curse for many. For one, you are a more optimistic person. However, it turns out that people born in the spring can also be more prone to depression.

Those summer babies know what's up.

Due to the "light levels" surrounding summer babies after their birth, they tend to also be very happy individuals. They can have very up and down moods, but overall tend to have great mental health.

Fall and winter babies tend to be a bit sad.

Unfortunately, those who are born in the fall and winter are prone to those sad winter blues. Science says that they tend to be more impacted by depression and other mental health issues overall.
