If I make myself angry I guess, but I have enough mental health issues as is.

Is your wife Dennis?

not only that, but I can control the speed at which my heart beats and can induce adrenalin at will.

I don't do it anymore though due to heart health from my age.

The closest I get is the "release" or "drop" or similarly hard to describe thing that I could do when trapped on a hot bus on hot days that allowed me to handle the heat, but it only worked every so often.

I imagine I was triggering a change in blood pressure through conscious vascular relaxation or similar. Or maybe I was just fooling myself. But it gave a few moments of reprieve from the oppressive heat and allowed a reset before I started boiling again. (Getting off the bus would have meant being out, walking, in cooler air, but under the hot sun for even longer.)

We don't get hot weather a lot in the UK (even if it is increasing in frequency) and even more rarely have I found myself on a bus during the brunt of it, so it's not exactly something I have much need or opportunity to practise.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's some kind of control over the "blood runs cold" fear response. That would fit with my psychology, tbh.

I can make myself hotter, but can't make myself colder. 🤷‍♂️

Can I? Not very well. Can people do it? Yes they can!

Yes, but only in one direction. If I choose to remember an embarrassing memory I can increase my body temperature by a few degrees instantly. Like a really underwhelming version of the Human Torch.

Yes! I can also manually change my heart rate, release cramping muscles, and feel a number of my internal organs through muscle contractions.

This isn't really a point of brag, I'm just neurodivergent with serious body dismorphia so I had to do a lot to become comfortable in this meat suit.

I can cool right down by being still, when it's hot.

Can't do the inverse though, when it's cold I'm just cold.

Yes. Which astonishes my wife again and again when she has cold feet in bed. I then have to ramp up my leg temperature again - I ramp extremities temperatures down for the night.

not quickly, but give me a sauna and twenty minutes... sure

Yes, I thought it's genetically because my father told me this life hack (good for getting fever in examination situations, you didn't study for), Realized later it has maybe something to do with height. Everyone over 184cm (idk how much this is in american cheeseburgers) should be able to do this trick. Source: trust me bro. I forget where my knowledge came from.

No, not directly.
