Is it normal to get cold easily

I feel cold almost all the time even when people say it's a hot day. I have to wear all my clothes to bed and wrap myself in three blankets, but I don't know why I'm cold almost all the time. Is there something wrong with me?

    Thyroid issues. See a doctor and get a blood test.

    You could be underweight. Back when I was I got cold easily. Or you need to exercise more to get your blood moving.

    Probably poor circulation or how many calories you're burning. Do you exercise regularly?

      What does that have to do with body temperatures?

        Girls seem to get colder easier.

        And guys not so much.

        This isnt just a joke or anything, this is really what happens.

          That's probably because girls' clothing is much less practical than boys': in fact in extreme cold conditions women cope with cold better than men because we have a layer of subcetaneous fat men don't have.

            Is that an evolutionary thing?

              I looked it up because I didn't know what it is. Everyone, male and female have it. It's jist the layer beneath the skin and it's caused by lack of excerise and overeating.

            Has nothing to do with clothes.

            And I don't believe that without proof.

    Could be low iron, a thyroid problem, poor circulation, maybe you're underweight or don't get enough vitamin B12.

    If it's cheap and easy for you to do so, you might want to see a doctor. It's unlikely to be a serious medical problem, but it's probably something that can be fixed or made less severe.

    Some science (supposedly):

    https://www.glamour.com/story/theres-a-scientific-reason-women-are-always-colder-than-men

    TLDR:

    - Women have higher core body temperature than men, so a given temperature feels colder to women than it does to men.

    - Women on hormonal birth control have even higher core temperature.

    - Women have naturally cooler extremities than men.

    - The average man has a metabolic rate nearly 25% higher than the average woman.

    Gonna say normal... Girlfriend is almost constantly cold. She always puts the heat on high. Girls at the office are cold too. They keep turning up the temp on the thermostat, only for me to tell them that 24C is more than warm enough for an office! Seriously, is 24C cold?! That's a nice summer morning.

    There could be a medical reason for this so I suggest you consult your doctor about it.

    Maybe you're a vapid, cold-hearted wretch. Or maybe just poor circulation.
