Speak for yourself? There's nothing special about being blood related. I would absolutely do it, if I had any practical reason to, which I do not, would be a horrible decision. My family never loved me, after all, so I naturally am not inclined to extend them any special status or care.

If it's a thin, fast-food style burger, I usually eat it crown down.

If it's a thicker restaurant or home-make burger, I usually eat it heel up.

I have no idea why I do it this way, but this is my main pattern.

In my case it almost feels like my body's reaction to heat has a screwed-up sense of how hot things are. I can't take hot showers, for example, which are objectively not dangerous, because they genuinely feel like they are going to burn me - normal-hot-shower temperature water feels like like a wet hot pan, it's like my cap is just lower. Ambient heat in the air and light doesn't do that in the same way, but it can make walls and stuff feel like that, naturally.

I hadn't thought of it from the overstimulation angle before, though, but now that I think about it I think you're right, that is at least part of why I hate ambient heat and particularly sweating. Thank you for that insight.

No, they do not, and most of them aren't willing to understand, either.

People, or at least NT people, with higher temperature tolerance are almost always assholes about it - I have weird heat sensitivity, I suspect on account of my Autism, and I only stopped getting constant shit for it once I basically entirely stopped talking to NTs.

The people in this thread are just seizing on an excuse to shit on people they perceive as weaker, or an excuse to shit on the English as if they are actually inherently evil just by existing. Or both.
