Have you ever stayed inside in the comfort of your air conditioning on a sunny day while I was in summer? If so, did you feel a sense of guilt? If you answered yes to these questions you are not alone.
Studies show that many people feel guilty when they stay inside in the air conditioning on a sunny and sizzling day.
All of us are conditioned to suppose that we should be outside in the fresh air on a sunny day rather than inside in the air conditioning. Society tells us that when it’s freezing out you should be inside under a blanket, sitting in front of your fireplace with a mug full of hot chocolate. Society also tells us that when it is sizzling and sunny out you should be out on a boat, at the beach, at a picnic, etc. However, there are some nights when people just don’t want to go outside for numerous reasons, and would rather stay in their air conditioning while I was in the summer; One reason could be wanting to catch up on cable shows in the comfort of air conditioning on a day off! People may not get a opportunity to watch their number one shows while I was in the task week, so their air conditioned residing room may be easily appealing on a Thursday afternoon. Also, many people feel self conscious of their bodies and don’t want to expose themselves in shorts or bathing suits, unluckyly, it is way too hot in many places in the Summer to go outside in pants and long sleeve shirts, so sitting in sweatpants in air conditioning may help people feel way more comfortable in their own skin. Another reason for opting out of fun in the daylight could be that some people just don’t appreciate the daylight or heat.
