Shivering more then other people.

Does this happen to you? Sometimes I would feel a sudden breeze, and it would make me shudder like crazy for a split second. During this moment, it would not happen to anyone else around me. I especially notice this when sitting around a table and facing other people. This causes the others around me to react a little bit to my reaction; for example, my brother would mimic me in a mildly teasing way.

I used to get really cold in the shade in the spring and summer. No one else around was shivering. I have trouble regulating my own body temperature or something. I am also very sensitive to heat and have gotten heat exhaustion nearing heat stroke before. I also can be very sick and not get a fever but have a drop in body temperature. The only bug I get fevers with is strep throat and I get extremely sick very quickly with strep. I can shiver but it doesn't do what it doesn't seem to do what is supposed to do which is to raise the body temperature.

Does anyone shiver when watching films, when something happens in a film, like something upsetting I have this awful shiver thing that happens, its quite a recent development

^Shivering in fear? Yes this has happened to me, but not from watching a film.

At nine years old, I used to worry that when I go to bed, I would not be alive in the morning. I remember one time that I went to bed and remembered toucheding the house plant that was apparently poisonous. My mother came in to say goodnight, and I started to shake like a leaf. Stuttering as I explained what happened, and she reassured me by explaining that it was only the juice from inside the plant. I touched the dry part.

Even after this, there was still a tendency for me to worry like this. At that age I would constantly focus on my breathing, and drink too much water at night.

Me too! I am almost always cold, even in the summer here in central California. My body temperature seems to change too easily; I can feel ok outside in the sun, but when I come into a public building or bus, I'm usually freezing because of the air conditioning, and will have to put on a ski cap and a hoodie to keep warm. I can't stay in the shade too long on a warm summer day because I get cold. I think my shivering happens mostly when I get low blood sugar, though.

I have full body shudders (tic) so, it's something out of my control.

when i get really cold, i cannot stop. i also shiver from a breeze.

^I also shiver a lot in cold weather. My muscles tense up, and my teeth will chatter; however, once I get used to it, I begin to have so much fun outside that I don't want to go inside. Especially because indoors starts to feel way too hot.

it doesn't get too cold over here, but i actually like winter and having to bundle up. i prefer that to our humid summers, sweating all night.

^I agree. It is great to be able to bundle up without feeling too hot. In hot weather, there is not a lot that can be done to stay comfortable, but I think that fall will come before we know it.

Yes, I am always wearing a jacket. When I was in school (10 yrs ago) I would always be freezing and so I just learned to always have a jacket or sweater with me. Breezes make my entire body freeze.

Well some people might think that, but its not exactly from cold I tend to get a bit on edge/anxious randomly due to ptsd and already having anxiety issues before that....I just prefer people think I'm just cold, so I might put on a sweater or something and mention how its getting chilly even though its not. Though sometimes I have been cold easier than others, specifically when its really hot out and it happens to cool down a lot at night compared to how hot it was its like my body has a hard time adjusting to that.

I used to shiver a lot for no reason when I was a child (I remember grandma keep asking me "Why did you shiver just now?" and I was unable to answer) but not anymore.

Although I am very sensible to cold. Unless it is very hot I usually wear 1 more layer of clothes than anyone around me (a hoodie when they are wearing just a t-shirt, a jacket when they are in hoodies). I am always cold. Even in this very moment I am keeping a blanket on my back although it is 24*C in my room. And in the winter I am always sitting at the hot heater, warming myself.

really big to do- like fly somewhere or take care of something complicated - I will frequently start shivering and sometimes vomiting while I start to prepare myself to go out and face the world.

I don't know about shivering from cold but I sometimes get a violent tick in my neck and sort of shiver, when people ask whats up I just say 'it just felt like someone walked over my grave' and they seem to know what I mean so I guess NTs get this aswell
