I was not like this when I was younger. I worshipped the sun. But now I prefer it when it is rainy or snowy (not icy though).
Have you guys ever heard of Reverse Sad. Here it is explained: People with summer-pattern seasonal affective disorder (SAD) — aka “reverse SAD” — typically experience common symptoms of depression for about four or five months each year when the weather is warmer, according to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).Sep 22, 2021
I mean I like the sun sometimes but I like the rain more. When it is sunny, I feel like I should be vacationing (no money to do that) or gathering around the BBQ with friends. No friends close enough to visit and no BBQ allowed in condo.
I love to feel cozy and have the fireplace going and can happily work on my hobbies. And I can happily walk in the rain or snow also. And it's usually quiet outside with everyone inside.
With the sun, it's like you should be outside doing stuff and everybody is super happy, noisier in the summer (kids playing, outdoor music playing, etc.) and it just depresses me.
