It’s coming on to winter around here and although the weather hasn’t completely turned I am onto sweaters and socks and all sorts of layernig. I’m the only one though. I have also noticed that I tend to feel cold more easily than others.
Is there a way I can fix this or is this a permanent body temperature thing?

Are you skinny? I’m like this too. Except, oddly, last year I suddenly got a lot better with it. I used to have to wear sweaters on sweaters on sweaters during the winter. Now I’m okay with just a long sleeve shirt. I have no clue how I managed to change though, sorry.
Could be many reasons:
Iron dificiency
Hypothyroid
Very thin
Too sedentary
Female
Just unlucky
It could be a lot of things. My parents had completely different metabolisms, if that’s what it is, and fought the “battle of the thermostat” throughout their entire marriage.
I’m the same way. I would suggest a nice electric blanket. Every night is tike climbing into a vagina.
I am exactly the same way. Just layer a lot.
Just wait until you start having hot flashes, like some of us gals, then you’ll wish you still felt cool. LOL.
But I do agree with @JLeslie and @zensky.
Have you always felt cold, or did this start recently? If you haven’t had a check up with your doctor lately, it might be a good time. I just had one.
I’m like that too but I’ve no idea what causes it either. It used to be because I was very skinny. I’m not skinny any more but I still feel the cold more than most.
I’m cold most of the time. It’s a pain in the ass. I’m quite thin so I used to put it down to that but I have friends who are quite thin and not constantly cold so it’s anyone’s guess really. Loads of layers for me.
