Aren't you cold?

Post Reply New Topic

I can handle heat too. Which is good since I live in the Southern U.S. I remember in elementary school in a sweltering hot class room everyone complaining about how hot it was and I was wearing a sweater. That was when I realized I needed to stop wearing winter clothing. It also might have been the electric orange one that people teased me about. If my mother got me something I wore it. It never occurred to me to not wear something if I hated the color and people teased me about it.

I can relate. My mom is always insisting I wear a coat or a jacket even though I am not cold at all. Back when we lived in Ohio and when I was getting ready to play in the snow, it was like that scene from A Christmas Story, but at least I could move my arms. I get overheated extremely easy and panick if I can't cool down fast enough. I've gotten sick from being too hot before. I have to have an air conditioner on full blast even in the dead of winter.

Even when its snowing I still wear shorts I hardly ever get cold but I tend to overheat in the summer

I don't get cold as easily as others. People are always saying they are cold and I'm not. I use blankets in my apartment. I don't need heat. But my husband uses it.
I used to get hot real easily but not anymore. I think it was hormones that did it. But then when I lost weight, it seemed to fix my body and then I got cold real easily. As a child I wore whatever I wanted and it didn't matter what I wore indoors but my mom always made me match the weather. I had to go outside at school for recess so that's why. I would be wearing long pants and long shirts while other kids wear shorts and I was okay. It was hard for my mom to tell if it be nice out or not because it was always cloudy in the morning. Now I match the weather.

I however hate heat, I despise it. I always strip down to my birthday suit in my apartment during the summer when it's 80's or above. Even when I was a baby I strip off my clothes leaving on my diaper. Last summer I had to wear a bra because my breasts wee sore due to being pregnant. So in the old videos from when I was two, I am always naked because I always took off my clothes. Only time I stayed fully clothed was when it be fall or winter or spring. It was usually summer when I had no clothes on. That be when it be real hot out but then other times I still had clothes on. I was even wearing sleepers in the summer. When I look back, I think I have always taken off my clothes when it be hot. I have memories of taking off my shorts and being in my underwear. We didn't have AC in our home. In Montana, I just stayed in the basement where it was cool. Then when I lived on my own, I had no way of escaping the heat so I went naked again, then I just wore my bathing suit. You never know if someone will come to the door. At my aunt and uncles, I just stayed upstairs and if I left the bedroom, I put on a bathrobe, even if they weren't home. You never know who might come to the door. Now today I have no worries because there are no windows (Of course we have them) and if I hear a knock at the door, I put on a bathrobe or wrap a blanket around me.

People always joke around about how "hot-blooded" I am, I very much prefer cool weather.

I get that all the time. I almost never wear socks (hate the way they feel on my toes) and when I'm not allowed to be barefoot, I'm almost always in sandals. I didn't realize that questions like "Aren't you cold?" were really people teasing me. After all, if your feet aren't cold, it isn't odd to have them uncovered, so I paid it no mind until I later learned the roots of my sensory perception abnormalities.

It bugs me here down at work that people who've known me for years sometimes daily ask me the same "non-question" with curled lips and furrowed brows. I really get annoyed at people who find such benign things to be so distracting. As long as my shoes are in dress code, who the frick cares?

Besides, it also doesn't help that affordable shoes for me are hard to come by. I'm a size 12.5 women's (10.5 mens). I wear sandals a lot because my toes are cramped as I try to cheat the sizes by letting my heel hang over a bit. If it bothers them so much, they should shell out the $60/pair for "appropriate" shoes.

I have been noticing the cold a bit more now that I am older, but I still get this sometimes. When I was younger, I thought nothing about going outside in sub-zero (farenheit) temperatures wearing only jeans and a T-shirt. I suppose that I was more-or-less impervious to the cold.

I frequently wear sandals with wool socks and short-sleeve shirts in the winter. I also attribute it to higher metabolism, though I can certainly be comfortable in more "appropriate" winter clothing inside.

I think that there is a general social expectation to dress seasonally, regardless of the actual ambient internal temperature of your surroundings. All of my clothes are classic, interchangeable, and not season specific. I will most likely wear them until I get holes in them (and then even some if the holes are small!)

In the winter my standard uniform is shorts and a sweatshirt. I am always getting strange looks. I don't get cold from the waist down.

I don't normally feel cold, but today, just walking to the shops made me freeze!! !

I don't really feel the cold, but the heat really bothers me.

I hate cold, and I wear a sweater year-round. (Whether it is on my arms or tied around my waist.)

People always ask me, "But aren't you hot?"
I just wanna reply, "If I were hot, then I wouldn't be wearing this sweater, now would I?"
In fact, I swear I'm gonna say just that the next time someone asks me that stupid question.

Another stupid thing people say that gets on my nerves is, "It makes me hot just seeing you with that sweater!"
How can I make you hot? You are not wearing the sweater. I am.

People really get on my nerves, period. I don't go up to people, pointing out the obvious and asking stupid questions. Why do they?
