Is it normal to hate fireworks?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, it’s completely normal to hate fireworks. The noise, crowds, smoke, or worry about pets and wildlife can make them more stressful than fun.
Absolutely. Fireworks are loud, unpredictable, and often come with crowds, smoke, and late-night noise—so plenty of people find them stressful or just unpleasant rather than exciting. You might also dislike them because you’re worried about pets, wildlife, or people who are sensitive to sudden sounds.
You don’t need a special reason to dislike them, and you don’t have to pretend to enjoy them. It’s fine to skip the show, watch from farther away, or use earplugs if you’re stuck nearby.
