22 Things People Who Are Cold All the Time Dread

The days are shorter, the wind is brisker, and you've traded nights out with your friends with nights in with your even better friends, Malbec and Netflix. So you know what that means: It's freaking cold outside. But you know this feeling all too well, because you're freaking cold inside too, your circulation proving to be no match for any season at all. Yes, you are one of those people who are cold all. The. Time.

I am one of those people too. The thing that chilled me most as a child was not something standard — spiders, clowns, drowning in the bacteria-laden cesspool that is the ball pit — but, instead, facing the cold of each morning in my thermostat-challenged home in Minnesota. Because there really is nothing worse than being someone who is incapable of ever feeling warm, regardless of the location, regardless of the season. You not only find yourself avoiding all outdoor activity when the temperature dips below 60 degrees, but, when you do go out, you might as well be confused for the Michelin Man, draped in heavy, bulky layers that guarantee you'll be doing laundry for life.
