This is what I came to say. When I was a teen my body ran hot, so hot people used to even comment at times it felt like I had heat coming off me. My normal temps were in the low 99.

Now, as an adult, my metabolism nosedived. I barely feel like eating once a day. It's not abnormal to get temps in the 96s, though that could just be the cheap covid thermometers.

I'm in my late 40s, people around me still comment that I'm radiating heat (and have commented that for at least 30 years), and I almost always feel too hot - used to walk with a short sleeve shirt in the dead of snowy winter when I lived in NYC.

But my temperature when measured is consistently below 36 celsius, often 35.
