does anyone else hate summer?

[indiedog1]

i hate the summer. i really struggle with the heat and it makes me sooo uncomfortable. a comfortable temperature for me to go out for a walk is around 6 c and to sit outside and enjoy the weather is around 15 c. but now its starting to get hot, and i get sweaty, and my skin starts to sting and burn, and i get a sensory overload and then i feel like i cant have a conversation or focus on anything else. but this is something out of my control, i like the idea of that there are some things in my life that i can control. but this is a big thing that i cant control and i dont know what to do. i have body confidence issues, so even in the height of summer i will wear jeans and maybe even a jumper depending on how i feel that day and i will almost give myself heat stroke on the hot day because i am so hot. as soon as it hits 17/18 c its too hot for me. summer here getss to 27-30 c so im already becoming nervous as its 14 c today.

theres so much pressure during summer to be happy and i hate it. everyone is always so positive about how nice the weathers getting, and ooh its so warm today, oh i can finally wear shorts etc. i hate it. my gf family has a pool, so everyone is always there during the summer, in the sun, having fun, and i literally wanna crawl in a cold hole. i always get told im being miserable, or queastioned as to why im wearing big thick clothes, or told to get in the pool and have fun. people always put pressure on me to go out, have fun and enjoy the weather while i can. but i hate it. i love the snow, i love the rain, i love the cold. i love winter. if i could live in a snowier place i would as we get snow maybe once every 5 years and it sucks! the worst part about winter is im desperate to go out and do things cos i love the weather, but everything seasonal, theme parks are shut, things close early cos it gets dark early, i love the early nights of the winter, but it does totally suck that you cant go out and do anything cos its dark by 4pm and everything shut and closed. the only thing i like about summer is how green everything is, and how all the animals are out. im a total nature freak so i love when everythings blooming.

i just wish people would leave me alone in the summer and accept that im not as happy as everyone else and that i dont want to partake and im quite happy at home doing nothing.

Sorry To Hear About This But For Me, Summer Is My Favorite Season Of All But Winter Is My Worse.

I Do Really Good In The Warm Weather.

It’s A Beautiful Time Of The Year.

I completely understand what you mean!! After getting on meds for my anxiety my body temperature has gone through the roof. As a kid/teen I loved summer because I could handle it but now it just makes me nauseous to think how hot and sweaty you get. I do believe mental illnesses really effect how we view seasons. I am enjoying the spring weather here in Texas because it's a cooler hot than summer. I also feel this way with the time change!!! Hope it doesn't get too bad for you this summer 🙂

its mainly been within the last few years. i lived in australia for 3 months during their summer, its was hot hot everyday. i could handle it then and i enjoyed it. ive found that each year i struggle with the heat more and more. i think it has to do with gaining weight as well, that doesnt help. but then i cant workout much and lose the weight because its too hot!

i visited texas in 2007, and it snowed while we were there! i loved it there. im in the UK so theres huge difference between the two

I really dislike summer. My favorite season is winter- with a cold wind blowing. I know that I am in the minority, but as I have gotten older, I have come to realize that I love the winter.

I Don’t Understand Why People Like Winter And The Cold Weather.

Very Depressing Weather.

[indiedog1 in reply to nkotbjoeymc]

i love the winter because even though some may find it dark, dull and depressing, i find it comforting. not many people are out and about, its quiet. the noise of rain hitting the windows, or the feel of tiny droplets of rain on my face. the sound of rain on an umbrella or coat hood. splashing in puddles. or the whistle of the wind through the crack in the windows. its an excuse to stay in with my partner and our dogs and have movie nights. or have a fire going. the thunderstorms are almost magical to me and the smell of wet concrete after a rainy morning. frosty grass and leaves crunching under your feet and being able to see your breath. its a homely time of year, halloween, thanksgiving, christmas. a time for family and friends, to decorate the house and have a bit of a change. the colours in autumn are beautiful as it changes to winter. snow, everything is white, bright and beautfiul. seeing animal tracks and footprint through the snow or watching snowflakes zoom into headlights when your driving at night. even when the snow starts to go and its icy and 'sludgy', the ice cracks under your feet, and has the most beautiful patterns.

to me, winter is a magical, comforting, homely time of year that makes me feel warm inside. i can appreciate the beauty in summer, but i dont enjoy it half as much as i do winter. summer is sticky, its hot and bothering. you have to wear cool clothes that i dont find comfortable (we dont have a/c so if its hot you just deal with it). there pressure to go out and do things and enjoy the weather. mosquitos, gnats and things. sunburn. everywhere is busy all the time because the weathers nice. i understand why other people like it, i do, but it isnt for me.

My Favorite Season Is Summer Because I Alway’s Feel Cold.

[Rosepetal60]

I tend to stay in the house when it’s warm to hot outside as I too can’t cope with the heat of theSun and atmosphere. Sun hat doesn’t help much. And if I have to go out for any shopping, I walk in the shade. This does mean that I have to take Vitamin D3 throughout the year to make up for not getting it from the Sun. Tiresome all round ! 🙂
