So I'm visiting my parents in Cyprus tomoz...the heat fills me with total dread.Does that make me seem ungrateful? I should so appreciate the holiday.I've had a difficult 6 months and this holiday has been paid for as a treat. Sitting in a close plane environment,walking through airports with slippy wet shoes,sat in boiling hot restaurants,my parents friends hugging me to be friendly.....I hate it all,I will secretly be counting down the days to come home. I will stay indoors and discourage them from suggesting going out...Gosh,writing this all down makes me very sad! I will get through it but sorry,just needed to vent...

I don't see how it would be ungrateful, more like not wanting to leave your comfort zone, which I can relate to. Most times I go out in public I'm miserable because of my social anxiety and I'm always aware of my sweating. Is the sweating that bad even when you wear closed shoes? My feet get sweaty but not to the point of dripping, but I have my palms and under arms to take care of that for me lol.
 
No, it's not ungrateful. Ungrateful would mean you were oblivious to the fact it was a nice thing. However, it is a very good opportunity to challenge yourself and the anxiety. It starts with little steps, and it being a situation where you're mildly pushed can be a good thing.

Home sweet home.....all week was around 40 degrees and the most humid heat they've had in 16 years in Cyprus. I had a lovely week of soaked through tops and shorts...really really horrid...back to hiding away and layers of clothes...back to my comfort zone..yey

Although,one thing I have to admit though is that most people I passed or met had huge wet patches on clothes.They were so casual about it and confident,they acted like it was the most natural thing in the world...crazy.lol..I fitted right in...

Well no it's not ungrateful if it's not something you wanted. If they pushed it onto you it's unreasonable to expect you to feel eternal gratefulness. I cannot stand hot places either, that's the reason I took flight from one in the first place. I suggest going because you might be able to take some joy from it. I would like a holiday in Cyprys but I don't have the opportunity. I miss the beach so much. Try to enjoy the local cousine. If you need to interact with your family friends, try feigning headache or stomach upsets.
