Never Broken a Bone …This Theory Might Unsettle You
Have you made it through life without ever breaking a single bone? If your answer is yes, some believe that might make you more unusual than you realize.
According to a growing trend on social media, particularly Instagram, people who have never experienced a bone fracture may share certain symbolic traits—or even spiritual explanations. A self-described medium and psychic named Rachel Stiles recently sparked debate online after outlining four popular theories that attempt to explain why some people remain bone-break–free their entire lives.
Whether you see these ideas as fascinating folklore or purely speculative, they’ve certainly caught people’s attention. Here are the four theories—and why so many people say they resonate.
1. Spiritual Protection
The first and most talked-about theory centers on protection.
According to Stiles, never breaking a bone may suggest that someone is being watched over by a protective force from the spiritual realm. Depending on personal beliefs, this could be a guardian angel, a spirit guide, or even a loved one who has passed on.
She supports this idea by referencing a biblical passage from Psalm 34:19–20, which states that although the righteous may face hardship, they are protected—“not one of their bones will be broken.”
Many commenters shared similar sentiments, with some joking that while they may have experienced plenty of emotional or life challenges, they still feel divinely protected. Others, especially older followers, noted they had lived decades without a single fracture and strongly believed a guardian presence was watching over them.
