Always. I can be counted on to be one "setting" colder than everyone else. My mom was the same way...she'd always have it sweltering by anyone else's standards. And if they're comfortable, I need a sweatshirt and socks at least.

The humidity in your place is probably low. Perhaps boiling some water would help.

YES!! !! !! !! !! !

I hate snow. I live in Canada, sandwiched between one of the Great Lakes and another major lake in my province, so as a result, it's colder than anywhere else and we get PILES and PILES of snow.

Stupid Canadian winter. Please melt asap. Kthanxbi.

My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.

Not me. I can sleep starkers at 50°F (27°C) without blankets and wake up refreshed.

Is this something that works? As in, if I got a humidifier my house might be bearable to me as well as everyone else?

You don't need to get a humidifier to alter the humidity of a quasi-closed system environment. Running hot water from the shower or boiling water on the stove will do the same thing in less time without an extra cost (apart from the water/gas bill). But having a higher humidity environment serves to disable the body's mechanism of evaporative cooling and thus allows for more heat to be retained.

Whenever I'm at home, I wear a big plush robe over my regular clothes. It's how I compensate for being colder than everyone else.
Thanks, iamnotaparakeet! It makes sense when you put it that way, I had never thought of that though. I live in a dry climate and it gets so cold here!

I hate being hot & humid like the weather usually is here all summer but I don't like it freezing here either especially sense it's a very sudden change from the heat & humidity.

It's 57F in my part of California right now. It's awful being in the depths of the winter like this. I might have to wear shoes (instead of sandals) and long pants today. Woe is me.
