Are you oblivious to temperature?

LOL guilty cept im more like Brick size wise

I have always gotten hot very easily, I inherited this from my late father who would sweat at the drop of a hat. but when I was young I used to be able to handle cold far better than most people, a lot like the mailman example that redrobin referred to earlier in this thread.

I can't stand heat, but I know that I don't feel the cold like other people.

I always get told off for not wearing a coat when I go out. I sometimes like the feel of the cold on my skin.

I have gone bicycling in 45F weather before, wearing just a tank top because I got so hot pedaling up and down the hills that heat would just radiate off my body.

One of thing I do is I never heat my bedroom in the winter. Although I have blankets on my bed. I sleep better when the air in my bedroom is freezing. In the summer. I put a window AC in and cool my room down to 60'.

Nope, if anything I'm actually quite sensitive to ambient temperatures. I can't stand being too cold or too hot, even if other people don't seem to notice.

I'm like that too (:

No, I'm hypersensitive to temperature. Especially changes in temperature. A one or two degree change in temperature, I will notice. Sudden changes can cause me to have instant panic attacks. Example coming indoors from the cold outdoors. The second I step inside, it feels like somebody punched me in the chest.

Ideally I would stay in a climate controlled room with a constant temperature of 70°F / 21°C. Unfortunately my room has no AC and only a space heater, which I don't usually use. So I have to deal with it, the best I can.

I'm like that. I don't get cold easily and i hate wearing long pants. I wear shorts and a t shirt year round. It looks pretty normal here in southwest florida but where i'm originally from in northwest indiana, not so much.

yep,am unable to feel or understand temperature-its like am always feeling acutely boiling; at least that is how interpret the feeling.
for example its supposed to be freezing weather here right now and am sat in bra and shorts-am always feeling 'hot' apart from when suffering from illnesses like flue/colds.
with self it doesnt matter if someone says am cold as am unable to understand the feeling and dont believe need them,actualy have to be 'physicaly encouraged' to put stuff on.

after the waking night staff woud turn up, used to run out of the building wearing nothing but bra and nappy,to lie on the dry concrete,used to run off a lot back then with the same lack of clothing on and after the police were sent out to search woud be brought back by them collapsed from hypothermia,have no concept of being cold and its probable am wrongly interpreting hot all the time.

I sweat at the drop of a hat, and I find that most uncomfortable.

I adjust to colder temps well and don't mind the cold at all, actually I only dislike having to carry around all the cold weather gear/clothes so I often go without some of it and I live in the same temperatures as daydreamer84. I don't understand people who get cold in 10-15 degree C weather. I dislike sudden temp changes if there to great like getting out of the bathtub and in the summer when it gets really humid, I often fail to notice near record high temps the humidex is low.
