Summer doesn't affect my SA. Summer just pisses me off a bit. Other things affect my SA but not the heat.

I prefer Summertime because I can go biking and whatnot. If it pisses you off because people are out having fun, work on yourself so you can hang out and have fun too.

It pisses me off because where I live on the Med coast it is damp and hot at the same time. It's nasty if you have to work in it. Much prefer the winter personally.

Yikes, they sound vicious.

My anxiety is definitely higher during the summer. I feel more self-conscious during the summer than any other time of year. I hate it.

Running into people I used to know is one of my big fears, too. And you're right about it being worse during the summer, since longer daylight hours and (for some bewildering reason) heat mean they're out there for longer periods and in greater quantities.

It's really not unlike a zombie apocalypse for 'phobes - you just try to go unseen and avoid being cornered. :D
