Low self-esteem. You don’t feel like you’re good enough to be around friends and family, to apply for new jobs, or to put yourself out there for new opportunities. If you live in the United States, you’re blessed because you don’t have to move to another country to live in a place with a great climate. The best options include Florida, Hawaii, Texas, California, and Arizona because these states have the warmest and sunniest winters.

This way, I get the best of both worlds. I get to be in my home country for a few months each year and spend time with friends and family. But then I escape winter and feel great the entire year, never having to deal with cold weather, snow, short days, gray skies, and other terrible things that come with winter. Where to Live If You Hate Winter? Because I love summers in Poland, I tend to stay there between May and September. But the rest of the year I travel as often as I can or I move for a few months to a warm, sunny country. You avoid the situation, you need a companion to go with you, or you endure the situation but are extremely upset.Often, we get home from work and don’t feel like going out again. We don’t have the desire to; it feels like a huge chore. Yet if we make an attempt to go out anyway, we often find that we have a good time.

Here’s my experience with both of these approaches: Going on Vacation to Have a Break From Winter Social anxiety: Social anxiety can make it difficult for you to interact with people and lead to emotions like nervousness, fear, embarrassment, and distress. In some cases, people with social anxiety may even react to situations that make them uncomfortable with anger and hatred. Bad example: "Mark is an elitist pig, and I won't put up with it anymore! It's like he's trying to humiliate me on purpose! He's always criticizing me in front of everyone! I need you to do something about him!" And then there’s slow traffic, ice on the road, risky driving, and a potential snow storm or two to further ruin your day.You have recognized that you hate people and understand the reasons for your feeling. Now you must manage this negative feeling so that it does not destroy you or harm others. For the sake of your mental and physical health, you must manage your feelings. 1. Analyze the situations that generate your hatred When I couldn’t leave Poland for the entire winter, I went on short trips to countries like Spain (for US readers, this would be a bit like going to southern California) where winters are relatively mild and there’s still plenty of sunlight. This helped immensely while I was there. I could feel the dark, gloomy cloud leave the moment I landed at my destination. Tell your friends that bars aren’t your favorite place but that you’re happy to meet up at other places. If you’re trying to cut down on drinking or are sensitive to smoke, your friends may be open to making adjustments once they know your preferences. 3. Try to go out anyway When you are around people you are not totally relaxed with, you find it difficult to be yourself. You are not comfortable being yourself because you know they won’t “get” you. They’ll make fun of you, pretend to understand your perspective when they don’t, or do something else that is equally awkward.

I'm 25, male, pretty socially confident but definitely an introvert. I love having a drink. I love going out for a meal, to the cinema, having a few friends round for a couple of beers and a takeaway, going out shopping, going out for drives, that sort of thing, but I hate going out to bars, clubs, festivals, concerts and the like. A therapist is often the best person you can talk to. Why? Because they are trained to help people in situations like yours. They can help you to neutralize the hate you feel so that it no longer poisons your mind.It won’t come easily, but it will eventually be in your toolbox, preparing you for whatever else life puts in your path. Most people find small talk challenging, but some find the entire process excruciating. Little else could be more mind numbingly dull than engaging in conversation about the weather with someone you barely know or have little in common with. How many interesting things can one truly come up with to say about the sunny weather? Hatred is an intense emotion that is often fueled by the ugliest experiences of humanity. It is not an easy thing to navigate and may be beyond the scope of self-help. First of all, thank you to anyone that reads this emotional dump of how I truly feel. All I ask is for ideas about what I could possibly be suffering from and maybe some advice on how to overcome these feelings. At the end of the day, learning how to go from, “I hate myself,” to “I will do better tomorrow,” is one of the most beneficial life skills you can have.
