To hate the sun shining in the house.

yes i agree - do not mind the heat when it is dull and cloudy but the glare from the sun i find intolerable - especially day after day it is never ending - there is no let up

Gosh no I love it. I love my south facing bedroom.

Nope I’m similar 😂 in fact last few years I’ve started to dislike the later light evenings! I can cope with 8 but 10pm no way. Probably since having kids that one, but I enjoy summer very much, just by late August I’m fed up and glad for the nights drawling in, and not so bright all the time.

I'm not looking forward to summer because I know my living room will be boiling. If I open door/window then the traffic noise is super loud. Grrr

The last house we lived in had great big living room windows that allowed loads of sunlight in, I absolutely hated it too

I'm exactly the same and have just this minute had an argument about it lol 😆 I hate it, DH loves it. I find it overwhelming and it makes me feel hot and bothered. I had a classroom that was south facing and the sun shone in all day, only had curtains so to have the windows open you couldn't close them properly. Xx

I’m like you OP!!! I never open the curtains or blinds. The only time they get opened is when DP does it who also thinks I’m mad. I tend to be referred to as a vampire.

Currently in a stand off with OH who can’t understand why we need to replace the shiny kitchen sink with a Matt black one. When the sun streams in I’m blinded by the reflection. He’s a foot and a half taller so it doesn’t bother him.

I wish we had a house that the sun shined into. Our house is so dark and miserable.

YABU

We don't get enough sun this time of year anyway so what we do get should be welcomed!

I have a v modern house where every room has floor to ceiling glass and house faces south.

My problem is not the light but the extreme heat this generates inside.

DP prefers to have the place in darkness like a junkie hovel.

He has always wondered why he gets depressed so easily. Can't imagine how spending all day in the dark and only leaving the house on days off after dark could be related, somehow. After all, he never sees daylight for weeks on end.

It's a complete mystery.

Another one who loves to sit in the dark (near darkness). Agree ja makes the house feel cosier.
I find the light hurts my eyes a little.

Is this a thing? I read on here once that some people never ever open their windows either

I love the sun..in summer. But it makes me irrationally angry in cold months. I would much prefer it to be dark and raining.

I’ve always thought I have reverse SAD.
I love the sun outside and if on holiday somewhere hot.
At home I adore autumn and winter and do not like hard bright sunny days with harsh glare inside my home. Always love north/east facing rooms more than any other. Like indirect light inside.

Adore the sun! Hate dull days ,If too dark put fairy lights as well .The only downside is sun catching you in the face when sitting down .

Could be an opportunity to get some spectacular house plants that enjoy full sun to block and filter the light from the room a bit and to provide interest. I would love to have a window like this!

I’m the opposite - I like the rooms to have sun. Forgot to open my curtains in bedroom the other day when went on early shift in dark and had to
open them for the remaining hour of
daylight when I got home so the
room had had some light!

I spent a couple of weeks in the sun last month, spent as much time in it as possible. But at home I close the blinds every chance I get when hubby opens them, i like lights on and sunlight out in my home... not sure why 😂

How incredibly weird that so many people agree! I open curtains as soon as possible in the morning, and don't even shut them downstairs because I like to see the street lights at night and hate it being dark when I go downstairs in the morning. Dark houses make me feel claustrophobic.

I love it. My cat loves it. My plants love it.

YABU. YesterdayI laid on the bed. The sun was warm streaming through the bedroom windows. I shut my eyes and for 15 minutes I was transported to a sun lounger by a pool in a hot country. It was fab.

I like it dark too. I almost always have my blinds closed in the living room. The brightness of the sun gives me migraine anyway.

i know someone like this but just in her bedroom mostly.but sometimes when she is feeling a ceertain way she will like the curtains closed as she feels safer.she says it makes her feel a little more settled.but in one room(her yellow room) she loves the sun shining in their and will often go and lie on the bed with the sun on.but in her own room she has the cutain closed.she has been through stuff though and i think she feels vulnerable nd exposed with the curtains opened in there.
slightly different to you and other op reasons though i think.but i get it.
