Warmth-Seeking

Some people feel cold when others are comfortable. They turn the heating up higher, seek the sun, wrap themselves in blankets, as though the world outside could never give them enough warmth. Medically this can often be explained — thyroid, circulation, metabolism. And those explanations have their validity.

But there is a deeper layer. One that does not show up in bloodwork and that no thermostat can regulate.

Your body is seeking outside what it lacks inside. Warmth is not only temperature. Warmth is care, security, the feeling that someone is there. When a person permanently craves external warmth, an uncomfortable question arises: what inner cold are they trying to compensate for?
