No winter and autumn are my favourite months. The only thing I'd take from summer is the really long days
So, are you excited that Summer's right around the corner?

Why is not looking forward to summer intrinsically negative? I'm happy in winter. I actively like it. It's a preference.
I live in New England so May though October is basically our reward for November through April. Though April and November usually are decent enough. We just have the one bedroom window AC unit we always put in late in the year and have only a few stretches of time that are particularly hot.
If I lived in the Southeast I'd be dreading the next few months - I hate feeling hot and sweaty.

I finally have air conditioning so it shouldn't be so miserable. The good thing about living in a place with seasons is I get excited for each one. No one season overstays its welcome
Exactly this. Fuck summer. Can't sleep because of heat either and since everybody makes noise till the middle of the night.
Gotta reply to myself. Smoke is already here... May flippin' 12th. When's the first day of summer in the northern hemisphere again? June 20th... our forests are like kindling.
Towns in the northern part of my province are already being evacuated and all the fires were MAN MADE.
The smoke we are getting in Central Alberta are from wild fires in NE British Columbia that started LAST YEAR.
Sorry i'm a bit pissed off at humankind today. but fuck y'all
ive never understood the "WOOO SUMMER" philosophy. Every day is cool for it's own reason. Summer is generally too hot, too humid, and the sun's UVs will give me cancer if i dont slather on the screen
My apartment is already becoming borderline uncomfortable. I don't know how I'll survive another summer without AC.
BBQ, pools, trips to the beach house, vacation to Disneyland. Lots of camps etc.
Yeah it's going to be nice

Yep. Happy to be off for the summer, I'm about to die...end of the school year is legit the worst. Regardless of that, I'm not in the mood for Houston summers.
Summer is the worst. It's hot as shit. The kids are at home. Stays light too late. Tourists invade my island. It sucks ass.
Bring on Winter.
Bring on Winter.
Nope. I did get an AC last year but 98 degree days already happening here in Orlando FL. Wake me up a few months.
As a bipolar who experiences seasonal depression every year, yes. This winter/spring where I live in France has been brutal. Sure, it has never been very cold due to climate change, but this year has been very very cloudy and I can 't fucking stand the lack of sun anymore, and I am currently on the verge of a nervous breakdown because of it. I mean, I'm a vampire, I have very light toned skin, so I get sunburns when the temperature is above 15°C. I do not like hot temperature, it can be hard to sleep some nights and I am one of the guy who sweats the most on earth, but It's a trade-off I accept because of long days and sunny days which means I will be alive again. Plus, again, because of my bipolar disorder, I experience hypersyntonia, so I'm ready to experience long walks in the evening when the sun falls only at 10:30 PM and people are enjoying the long evenings in the city while eating, drinking, laughing with each other, in parks, bar terraces, along the river etc. Just being in this kind of social mood brings me joy.
Wow so many people here hate the summer. I love the hot weather, being able to go outside without extra clothes, longer days. Sometimes I get depressed because I dont have many friends and I feel like I'm missing out on opportunities in the summer but winter is usually worse some days you are literally trapped inside and cannot go anywhere without risking your life.
Yes, I love walking outside and feeling like I'm about to faint within 5 minutes (Floridian here).
If I had AC up here in Seattle I'd be more fine with it, but I'm overweight, I sweat like fucking crazy, and I'm on at least three meds that make me way more sensitive to heat so I fucking hate it.
I spent 33 years of my life in Arizona (27 years) and SoCal (5 years) so I know my way around summers. You'd think that'd make me enjoy Seattle summers more, but the lack of AC really fucking kills it for me. Also doesn't help that our apartment only has windows on one side so we can't even get good cross-breezes going.
At least we got a portable AC last year that made things a bit more bearable most of the season.
Also fuck y'all that are like, "lol all these contrarian nerds on a game forum hate summer big surprise". Can't you just express an opinion without making assumptions or insulting others?

Yeah the anti summer thing is so weird to me, how can you not enjoy nice weather. But I'm not gonna judge, people are built different. To me summer is what makes life worth living and a lovely payoff after the nightmare that is winter.
For what it's worth, I hope you get to enjoy summer activities even without friends around, I know the feeling.
there are an awful lot of places where summer weather is not nice at all
