Is it normal to abhor sunny, warm weather?

I hate sunny days and warm weather. It's been that way my entire life, and I don't know why. It's not like I get freaky and can't function or anything, I just hate it. Whenever it's rainy or cool out, I feel really happy, inspired, creative, and good about myself. When it's sunny and/or hot out, I just feel like crap; all depressed and gross and self-conscious. My brain barely works in hot weather too- I actually had a day where I had trouble concentrating enough to sit down and write a 4-sentence paragraph. I really don't think any of it has to do with me being "emo" or anything- I think if that was the cause, I would hate sunlight by choice. It is not a choice- it really gets in my way, actually.

  • My favorite day is a foggy, overcast, 40 degree mid-October day.

    Same. I don't like it bright or hot. I feel more anonymous in the rain or fog.

    the pacific northwest is where you should be. The nice little bedroom of america, with heavily lined velvet drapes on the windows.

    I'm the exact same way! I love rain and snow! And I can't stand being in direct sunlight. (My mom calls me a vampire because of this. LOL!) I've always prefered cool weather. I like being warm sometimes, but not hot. Ugh! I just feel better when it's cooler.

    if its cooler (60s, maybe low 70s), sunny weather is ok with me. any warmer, and I feel absolutely miserable (and i have to have spare shirts with me on hot days)
    Now, I do love an overcast day, if its not raining , that is. colors especially seem more vibrant when its cloudy out. of course if its still in the 90s and overcast, then it still sucks.

    I live in Oregon, it rains so much that I just develop a positive attitude when it is overcast. I play soccer and baseball and would rather play in clouds anyway. I would prefer night time over daytime anyway.

    hyper inducing brightness can be distracing. maybe you operate on less energy.
