People who are considered double-jointed have joints that can move beyond the normal range of motion due to variations in joint structure and ligament flexibility. This condition, known as hypermobility, can be genetic and is often linked to differences in collagen and connective tissue. While some individuals may have increased flexibility without any issues, others may experience joint pain or a higher risk of injuries.

Not necessarily. Although non-double-jointed people find the flexibility of double-jointed people appalling, it is a natural occurrence. It is just an ability that you were born with that others don't have, and since others don't have it, they find anything that they don't have appalling and 'gross'. Thus, being double-jointed is not gross, but a rather useful asset.
