I hate people who wear cold weather gear in warm/heated places
Schizophrenic people are very likely to do this. I work in mental health and this was mentioned in our training. At my location maybe 1/3-1/2 of folks wore one or more puffy jackets all summer long.
It’s not clear why. It could be an issue with being able to accurately perceive your own temperature, it could be a comfort thing, it could be that they’re more likely to want important possessions to be harder to steal.
Had a lot of teens walking around with the puffy jackets or hoodies on and ski masks over this past summer. Don’t think we have that many schizophrenic people around here.

That’s really interesting. Is it known why? Do they not feel overheated or something?

So either medical, emotional or social. 🤷

Interesting, is that a comfort thing? Like wearing headphones everywhere with nothing playing in them?
