I’m actually the other way around, love summer hate winter, I get summer has some discomfort issues but I cannot stand being cold and layering clothes is a sensory nightmare. Plus the longer nights and shorter days fuck with my already erratic sleep schedule, but I have ADHD and autism and grew up in the American south so maybe I’m the outlier
Grew up far north of the Mason Dixon and moved to a warmer climate; you’re not alone. You wrote out my thoughts exactly.
I curse every cold minute until I can wear shorts again because pants and skirts are awful and I hate long sleeves and socks and just all of it. That and the dark make seasonal depression go haywire even with the “shorter” winters.
Some days I dream of moving to western Ecuador where it’s ~87°F year-round.
