To not be excited about light nights and summer?

I keep seeing posts on SM about how the light nights are here, and the better weather.

I know this is obviously preferred by a lot of people.

Personally, I'm feeling a little like I'll need to force myself to embrace that.

I've been enjoying going out a walk in the dark, knowing I'll bump into few people and that I can hide under heavy coat and hat.

It's more acceptable to stay home for days on end in the winter, and I'm all for that.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it when I do get out and socialise, etc, but at the moment I'm feeling like it's something I'll need to really gear up to.

Am I weird? Or are there others like me?

I was definitely like that when I was younger but I've embraced summer as I've aged. I think it's needing the sun on my old lady bones. Saying that, first night of the lighter evenings and I defiantly closed the curtains at 5pm and lit all the candles and got under my blanket.
