The odds that you exist at all are impossible
A popular biologist did a rough calculation and came up with 1 in 10^2,685,000 to be born as a human
Every single link in your entire bloodline had to line up perfectly. Your parents had to meet at the exact time they did, have you at the exact moment they did, and out of millions of possible sperm-egg pairings, the one combination that produced you is the one that happened. If literally anything in that chain changed, even by seconds, you never show up. Someone else does
On top of that, you weren’t born a beetle, or a stray dog, or some unlucky animal constantly dodging predators. You ended up a human. You wake up every day with clean water, food, shelter, a phone, and access to information even kings couldn’t dream about
Only exceptions to this would be if your life was somehow so unbelievably low percentile that it was worse than not existing at all
I doubt many of you truly fall under this category, though
