i believed that when a person had an outie,they were they a diferent species or something,it was kind of because people in my school,not mnay have outies, even some of my crushes have innies,and,i love outies, so it makes me a little sad, but, i know it's not real, i read that an outie is when more of an umbilical cord is on a bellybutton,so it leaves extra skin
