Is it normal to hate nostalgia?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, it’s normal to hate nostalgia. For some people, looking back feels more painful, distracting, or uncomfortable than comforting.
Nostalgia can bring up grief for people or times you miss, or make the present seem disappointing by comparison. And not everyone enjoys being pulled into the past—some people would rather focus on what’s happening now.
People have mixed feelings about nostalgia: it’s comforting for some and a bit of an emotional ambush for others. You don’t have to enjoy it or treat the past as better than the present; it’s fine to change the subject, skip the memory lane playlist, and get on with your day.
