I love the rain, at least when I'm dry and indoors. It feels cozy.

It could be a sign of seasonal defective disorder. Either way sounds like theropy may be in your future.
Well, all I can say is that my life is pretty plain. I like watching the puddles gather rain.
I used to love to watch the rain. The rain would change things and cause life to grow.
Then I moved out of a desert and the rain became less magical.
Rain has no associations like that to me. The only thing I think is, "are the windows open?" And then I'm glad it's raining. Hail is another story, I'm not a fan.
I love the rain and my tween daughter says "yay! It's raining". So, no. It wears on me when we don't get any sun for a long time, but a few days of rain are usually nice.
Snow would be a "yay!"
Much more calm
I don't really get scared or depressed in the rain, the only exception is if it's dangerous weather and I can't get to shelter: That can get legitimately scary.
I suppose I get a little nostalgic sometimes, or sort of happy to be snuggled up inside. Sometimes I just like to watch and listen to the rain, storm, whatever with no particular sense of feeling other than an appreciation for the world we get to exist in.
100%. And every time, this plays in my head. Funnily enough, it's not the track samidare (Japanese, loosely: summer rain).
A few years ago my basement flooded after a week of sustained rainfall.
Rain, in general, is great. I love seeing a mild storm come through. Each passing day, though, ratchets up the anxiety a little.
I only care about the rain if I have something that can be broken with water. If not, is only water. If it isn't too cold, no problem.
Absolutely not, I usually go to the park if I'm not working, pretty much get to have it to myself.

I don't particularly like being out in the rain (some people do), but if I'm indoors it's fine, and being out in it is fine psychologically, just annoyingly cold and wet. It doesn't happen often enough here for me to have rain gear around when I need it or to have gotten used to it.
You could look for the song "Black Hole Sun" online. "Black hole sun, won't you come, and wash away the rain?".
I like rain if im not stuck in it. Like the sound. My dog doesn't though so im kinda mixed on it as I don't like it when she is afraid. Its funny but playing rain sounds does not bother her. She starts getting scared before it comes so I think she senses it by air pressure or something. One thing that is kinda annoying is growing up we had a lot of rainy days but now a days its kinda rare. its mostly storms. its like we get the same amount of rainfall but heavily in short spurts. Its one of the reasons we have been in a long term drought along with less snow.
For me it's the opposite, dreary weather typically lifts my mood a little when I'm sad. It's like the whole environment joins me in my gloominess, and my feelings don't feel as out of place.
