Hypothermia?

I am confused, the question is why do people not recognise signs of hypothermia within themselves - i can't find anything on the internet - all it tells me is that people may suspect that they have hypothermia, and my textbook doesn't give me any answer/help

any help would be much appreciated!

when you've gotten hypothermia you cannot recognize it yourself because your brain is slowly shutting down. its like being incredibly drunk...you cannot make simple decisions to save your own life.
