From what I can gather I believe I'm less sensitive to cold and more sensitive to heat than most people. I sweat an awful lot in hot weather, and I frequently have my fan on when most people probably wouldn't, or at a higher level than most people might have theirs. I'd think some of this at least would be due to being overweight and not really having a healthy diet, but I do wonder if there may be sensory issues involved too.

I was pretty skinny till after I moved in with my girlfriend at 30 & i always had a low tolerance to heat & humidity. I'm from Louisiana which is extremely hot & humid for half the year & my parents gripped whenever I wanted the AC set to a lower temp than 77, 78 at night. I live in Vermont now & I seem to have a lower tolerance to cold than most people here do

Extreme weather sucks, and makes everything hurt my skin. I much rather prefer cooler weather, though, since you can always add layers.
