What does it mean

Take5

Hi there everyone 

Just wondering if anyone else gets this and has an idea why it might happen? Does anyone get a bit emotional when they watch certain films or listen to certain music. I’ve always had this but since discovering how I am it’s more intense than before. I end up having to look away from the screen as it can get too much and obviously don’t want others to see.

thanks in advance

  • I get this. In my case it's to do with the autism, specifically oversensitivity, where something hits hard for whatever reason and my emotions collapse - like a dam bursting - and then out come the tears and an overwhelming intense sadness.

    This happens when I watch stuff, listen to music and read. More annoying when reading though because the pages on my book gets wet lol or it could be that it's subconsciously reaching a memory that's triggering without you realising it or it could just be one of those unexplainable things...

    But the weirdest thing is when it's more appropriate to cry, say at a funeral or losing a pet, I never cry or feel sad. I am sad but it doesn't show then which makes me seem like a cold beast when I'm actually not. Really weird that.
