If liquids absorb heat from their surroundings to become gas, why does gas feel hotter than liquid?

I know what you're thinking, "OP, are you for real!? Gas is obviously hotter because it absorbed heat from the environment!"


But hear me out. Yes it is hotter in absolute terms because it absorbed heat to become that way and if you placed one thermometer in the liquid and one in the gas then you'll get a higher temperature reading from the gas.


However, when you read the question again it says "absorbs heat from its environment" thus heat is removed from the environment, thus the environment is less hot than before, and if that "environment" was the palm of our hand (and it was heavier than air so it didn't fly off) then that gas should feel cooler than the liquid because it absorbed heat from our skin thus the nerve endings in our skin had temperature removed from them and now give us the sensation of being cooled down. (assume that the boiling point of the substance is our body temperature).
