  Yo! I think i just found my soul mate in you!! In winter at my office, i have colleagues wearing woolen sweaters, sitting wrapped in blankets with a space heater blazing brain-melting heat under their desk... While I... I'm peeling off the last bits of clothing that i can without it getting pornographic. I'm literally sitting there in a spaghetti top and a glass of chilled water to keep my brain from over-heating..
  And what youre saying about your body temp... I totally get you!!
  It was about 14 years ago, during a period when i was working out a lot. One day, for some reason I measured my body temp. My old-school quicksilver thermometer wouldn't go above 35.4 C. 
  I thought it was weird, so i kept it in my armpit for another 10 min. No change. It was a bit scary, so i decided to keep trying. Still no change for a couple of weeks. I called my GP and she told me to just stop measuring my temp. Which i then did.
  I get that 35.4 was a bit on the very low side. But now, years later, even though it hasn't been this dramatic, it's usually still around 36 C. I'm convinced that my base body temp is much lower than most peoples.

  Hm interesting thought. I have it the other way around tho... 🤔
  I can't stand drinking very cold water/drinks. >
  
  I drink a pot of hot peppermint tea every morning, and I don't like it when the shower is too hot. I also like to swim, and not every pool is heated. >
  
  Exactly!!! Usually when i take a shower after my bf, i end up jumping away coz water feels so hot it's uncomfortable.
  Ice water hurts my mouth and I prefer my "cold drinks" at room temperature or very lightly chilled. The only drink i like -cold-, is my beer in sauna and on a hot summer day.
  Are you also usually running very hot and prefer a chilly room over sitting in a volcano-like heated room? >
  
  Yeah, absolutely! The room my colleague and I work in is known as "the ice cave", lol. I moved to a new apartment last June and it's always so warm in here, when I get back from work, I throw open the balcony door to get to a comfortable temp. There is a bank above, and they need to heat that big, open space like crazy, and all of that radiates down into my apartment. I mean, that's a good thing in winter, I have turned on the heating maybe 4 times when we had really cold weather. 
  Don't quote me on this, I'm not sure about it, I might be talking nonsense, but after an argument with my sister about the thermostat, out of sheer curiousity I checked my base body temperature. It's 36,4°C. Hers was the usual 37,6°C. 
  I think that's why things feel so hot to me and I prefer cold environments.
