Sensitive to Music

FallingCrescent August 1st, 2016

This may sound strange but I'm curious if anyone else deals with this or deals with something similar. When the credits roll for a movie, no matter what movie it is I'll start to feel sentimental. It doesn't even have to be a very heartfelt movie and I'll still feel this way by the end. The music also plays a part I believe. I can't seem to listen to beautiful, sentimental type music where you hear intricate notes from a piano, etc without feeling depressed, thinking about all my problems and especially without feeling lonely

Does anyone else feel this way?

@FallingCrescent I sometimes have music invoke feelings in me. I think that's why happy music makes me happy. There are music that sometimes remind me of certain events like folk music usually reminds of a road trip in the summer. Here's more info on music and emotions. So what you are feeling is perfectly normal.

Thank you. I just find it strange that even peaceful music which is meant to sound happy makes me instead feel sad.

Music and scents are envoke very strong emotions in people. Sometimes music can envoke a certain memory. I.e Carnival musiccan envoke memories of visiting a carnival.

I kind of avoid music that reminds me of memories because a lot of the time I feel sad thinking about them.
