This is really entirely subjective, so I'm not sure how to convince you. I like to be warm and despise being cold. I hate wearing extra layers of clothing. I like the feeling of the sun on my skin. Using sun screen properly gets rid of the fear of sun burns. There are more outdoor activities during the summer. Better camping. >

I was writing my rebuttal by just saying almost the opposite to your points and then I realized that was just the definition of a personal preference 😺 >

I'm just going to try to change your view in a couple specific ways

fucking bugs dude

This is going to vary greatly by region. For example, along the northeast coast of the US, the bugs are a menace during the summer. In Phoenix AZ, even though there's summer-type weather in much more of the year, the bugs are significantly less obnoxious. There just aren't as many of them flying around.

I burn easily 

Wear sunscreen. You should probably be doing that anyway. >

I do wear sunscreen, just got that super fair skin. when I lived in Colorado we got an awful heat wave and even with sunscreen I got blisters on be ears ! >

I have a lot of the same concerns as you, but I still like summer. I have also lived in one of those “always summer” places and liked it far better than I expected. The main reason is that, while there are some unpleasant aspects, it is still way better than when it is dark, cold, and damp. To your specific points:

This depends on where you are. Some places don’t have bad bugs
Sunscreen! Even if you don’t burn easily, honestly
Lightweight longsleeves are a thing
I don’t enjoy swimming either. Summer isn’t all about swimming
Me too. I wear sunglasses. 
Who cares about being barefoot?
Can’t help you there

In short, most of the negatives you mention can be easily mitigated. Meanwhile, the positives (pleasant temperature, not dark and damp all the time) outweigh those negatives. >

There is a really great way to address basically all of these: appropriate clothes. Coming from a super hot, sunny, humid, and buggy area, I have some advice. 
Wear loose clothing. The looseness actually does more than the material. Believe it or not, a cotton baggy long sleeve shirt is gonna be less sweaty than a linen tank top. Get you some lightweight baggy clothes in either linen or cotton. It will help with sunburns and bug bites, too.
Wear sunscreen and sunglasses. I don't think this needs elaboration.
This will greatly alleviate most of your concerns except the barefoot thing, but I'm rarely barefoot anyway. Odd critique. As far as swimming, just don't go swimming. 
Hot weather just requires being prepared, same as cold weather. The difference is that, with some exceptions, most hot places aren't unlivably hot. Sure, heatstroke is a threat if you're wildly irresponsible, but it's way easier to die of exposure in cold places than hot places. In terms of requirements to survive, cold weather is objectively worse than hot weather most of the time. >

I typically do wear loose clothing. Do yk any good brands for lighter weight sweatshirts/hoodies. I do wear sunscreen and sunglasses, but as I said in another comment sometimes the sun can beat the sunscreen :( >

If you're re applying and using 30+ spf, the sun shouldn't be overwhelming sunscreen, barring VERY sensitive skin. If it's that bad, then the clothes and a decent sun hat with a wide brim should work. In terms of brands, I've had good luck with flowy linen clothes on Etsy. I wouldn't recommend sweatshirts/hoodies, but like long sleeve shirts work really well, and there's a lot of styles to choose from.
Edit to explain: sweatshirts and hoodies are gonna be heavier weight 99% of the time since the expected use case is for cold weather. Obviously, if you can find something, it's not really functionally any different. Also, I got some pants from a Ukraine based brand called black ficus on Etsy that I absolutely adore. Check them out to see what I mean. >

Cats are very happy in the summer. All that sun to snooze in. That's it. That's my reason. Cat happy, I'm happy. >

Summer = cats, that's a great counter point, cats are awesome >

I hate the cold. By cold I mean anything below 75. I have cold induced asthma so have trouble breathing when it's cold out. I like the snow fine, but don't really care for winter sports and dislike being cold. I like being hot, and I like the beach, and the water, and being out and about in nothing more than athletic shorts. Preferably barefoot.
If I slip and fall while out and get knocked out in the summer, I'll wake up later sunburnt and thirsty. I have almost died because I passed out in a snowbank while peeing in an alley. My friends found me within 5m but my lips were already blue. 
Sounds like you are arguing from a place of preference. That's fine. Go hang out in the Arctic and cover up and live in the ice. I want to sail to work and bask in the ocean surf and shake sand from my hair. >

Cold for me really is like 7C/45F. We are very different people I can see. I understand WHY people would like summer, but I don't like it for the reasons they do. Lookin for a reason to enjoy it >

Your reasons for not liking it are subjective. The reasons I would provide you for liking the summer heat aren't going to be things you like, just like the things you like about the cold are things I hate about it. >

Dude, I cannot stand the winter.
The fact it gets dark at fucking 4 pm, it's cold and miserable, and not to mention the 2 worst holidays imo are during winter.
Not don't get me wrong, I don't hate Christmas, I just hate everything associated with it other than Jesus birth.
Very few movies are any good, the songs are awful and played out, it's expensive and the more money you have, the more expensive the gift you're expected to give, putting up decorations is just alot of work you're gonna have to rip down a few days after christmas and tetris it back into the attic or storage unit, and the Christmas games, don't get me started on it, like secret Santa I'm ok with, if you're playing with friends and have a set amount and gift category, but forcing us to play it in school, you're practically forced to give someone you could hardly know a gift they probably don't even want in the first place, and dirty Santa or white elephant, I've only played it once where we had arranged ideas for gifts and it was like gift cards, and the gift cards had to something that any teen could use, but the rest, I always end up bringing some decent gift only to be walking away with something stupid like a Keychain you probably just found in your drawer. Then I'm ok with the gift exchange as long as it's family or significant others, but among friends, no, because it always ends up receiving something you don't want and you're forced to hold onto it. 
Then Thanksgiving, personally I never get full no matter how much I eat, I'm forced to make awkward small talk with everyone, like I wish I could just make a card that had faq on it and put it on a name tag with stuff like "school is fine" "my gf is fine" "I'm going to fsu to play football and study business" and point to it without being rude.
But enough of holidays, why tf does it have to get dark and fucking 4 pm, it's beyond stupid, I wake up and it's light out going to school, but then drive home in the dark, it makes no fucking sense.
And the cold, I live in fucking Florida and it gets too cold, I've been to places where it literally snows and it's always miserable, slipping and sliding everywhere, wrecks everywhere, having to bundle up like you're going on an trek through the artic when you're only going to Walmart, people drive far to damn slow.
And fucking hot chocolate, like why is that the default drink for every winter event, every year me and my friends go to some winter festival thing here and the second you walk in you're being handed hot chocolate, and you're forced to hold it while walk around while it's boiling water splashes your hand burning it, then when you drink it you're getting 4th degree burns in your mouth, I literally just look for any excuse to dump it on the ground behind a curtain or something so I don't hurt feelings.
Just my God, I wish we could just screw the environment up enough so it never got cold or snowed again. >

I will trap you on a technicality to milk delta from you :D
Summer in northern countries is the best. Weather is usually around 20 C (68 F) and often cloudy. Even if it is sunny then it is still not too hot. So summer is easily the best season :) >

Jeez that sounds awesome. I live in Washington state currently and I LOVE the winters, but holy smokes the summers have been brutal. How do I even award delta lol, !delta ?
