Is it normal to hate the summertime?

I just hate Summer. All year my friends talk about how excited they are for it, and when it approaches everyone gets so pumped and starts talking about their plans. But I hate it. I live in Florida and I hate the hot weather and the beach. During the Summer, everyone wants to go to the beach and hang out and I don't want to do that. But there's like this social obligation that I feel to constantly be doing stuff, and I don't want to be. Everyone talks about having a "good Summer" as if in order to do that you have to be outside all the time, at the beach, surrounded by tons of people. But my idea of a good Summer would be lots of alone time, maybe some time with a few of my close friends, movies, stuff like that. It stresses me out, I dread it every year.

    I hate summer too because every year I think I will get in better shape so that I can wear a bikini bra and hot pants without the feelings of being self conscious. But every year I forget or give up and then all my friends look great and I look like a turd in comparison.

      Okay, you just hit the proverbial nail on the head Missy! I have sensitive skin so sunburn and razor burn suck too. I moved to Ft Lauderdale a year before I went away to college and I almost immediately started waxing.

        You're braver than I am! I'm scared to wax :)

        Do you do your arm pits? If so is it really painful?

          Thanks! I've only done my arm pits myself a couple of times. It's better to have those done by a pro or if you're looking to save money and willing to take a chance you could try a beauty school.

          I've also had some laser too. I had three treatments on my armpits and bikini which basically just thinned them out but was worth it. I also had three treatments on my lower legs and they're practically bare. Yay!

    I live in Las Vegas, Nevada and it's too damn hot and DRY here! Give me sweat and humidity over nosebleeds, sinus problems galore, and dry skin that's always turning red even when I'm not sunburned. It's easy to get dehydrated here and that's not fun. South Florida is paradise compared to the desert. I moved to Ft Lauderdale in 1992 about two days before hurricane Andrew hit and the main thing I would change about South Florida is the bugs; palmetto bugs, mosquitoes and biting, stinging insects in general.

    Well...okay, there are too many damn snow birds too!

    I hate bugs and sweating. But I love and cherish summer. Come up and experience a Canadian winter then you'll appreciate summer more.

    I'm the same. I'd much prefer rain, snow or just dull days to be honest. Hate the sun. Piss off sun.

            haha oh yeah it can get cold here in winter (but very rarely sub zero) temperatures of 0 - 5 degrees here at night are common. It's stinking hot for the rest of the year so it probably makes it seem that much colder haha

    I dislike it too. Rain will always be my weather of preference.

    Stop crying about things you can't control.

    Less stress that way.

    LittleMissy, you just summed up my life. :P I live in the UK and our summers are usually pretty rubbish, but even then you'll get one day when it's too hot and everyone starts walking around in basically nothing and I'm there in jeans and a hoodie, melting. Life is unfair sometimes...

      Hey me too! I feel most comfortable in jeans and so on those days where it is unbearably hot I almost always stay at home or I end up feeling really uneasy in a sun dress that I probably hate but picked it up at Tesco because it was like £3 or something!

    I feel the same, I live in Sweden and I think the weather is too warm here.. It's usually 30°C (86°F) here in the summer.
