    I love how it’s always “year-round shorts guy”. Such a relief. I’m a year-round sweaters guy.

      I was a year round shorts guy, genuinely didn’t feel the cold. Last year I suddenly became a year round thermal stockings, skivee, thermal gloves, jumper and woollen pants guy.

      I can’t get warm. It’s like I’m catching up on 30+ years of never feeling the cold by feeling the cold all the time.

          Yup, thyroid, adrenals, and gonads have been checked, both with blood work and untrasound.

          I have dysautonomia due to a brain stem herniation, and temperature regulation is effected by that, but it’s just been so weird that the way this symptom effects me was decades of not feeling the cold, then suddenly now I’m not feeling the heat.

          I know which one I’d choose if I got to pick… and it’s the one where I don’t need to go to a wound nurse for frost nip in February.

            Oh your poor hypothalamus. I’m glad you were thoroughly investigated though- any time there’s a sudden change like that it’s definitely something medical. Does the brain stem herniation affect you in any other ways?

    I have a friend that is the opposite of the first one: this summer, while other people were complaining about how hot the season was, he was wearing clothes that you would expect seeing during winter

    I was the first one in high school. I was genuinely too warm all the time. It would cause me to sweat in classrooms if I were wearing jeans

      There’s a biological reason for this. We have a kind of fat called “brown fat” that keeps us warm. It increases during the winter and decreases during the summer. But, we have the greatest capacity when we’re young and reduces as we get older.

    I’m definitely a combination of person 1 and person 4. I do wear shorts pretty much year round and I do like all kinds of music. Despite being a diehard metalhead I do also hate screamo, but not for the reasons given in the image lol

    I’m both the shorts guy and the music guy, though I do enjoy screamo. Country is my “I can’t listen to this dogshit” genre

      Fellow shorts and music guy (but long sleeves in summer to avoid sunburn so I actually have more clothing coverage on in summer than winter)… But country can be great and agreeable background noise in a way that not much else can… Sure punk rock and edm and more “fun” stuff (and yes, to an extent, screamo) are great if you’re driving or gyming or cycling or whatever but that’s not all the time

        To each their own, lol. I don’t find country boring, I find it actively grating on my ears. Like, to the point that I will mute movies and put on subtitles if the soundtrack goes country. Having that as background noise sounds like my personal hell
