Do you find that when you experience something incredibly beautiful, it hurts?

Question

just that when i listen to really beautiful music, or see really beautiful women, or when i feel overwhelmed with love, its so beautiful that it hurts, and makes me want to cry. does anyone else feel like this?

(happy valentines day!)

Answer 1

Sometimes beauty in any form touches us in our very souls.  We are usually unprepared for the emotion that comes upon us and we react in unexpected ways.  Deep emotions seem to overtake us and we hurt, or tears come when we never expected them.

Be proud that you can react to beauty.  Many people are blind and deaf to what is around them.  God has given you a gift so use it.

Yes.  Listening to the coda of the songs Nude and How To Disappear Completely, both by Radiohead.

Answer 4

yep, i've had that feeling too. i love it but hate it the same time - i'm happy as h**l coz it's actually real, but why am i crying over something good?!

Answer 5

Oh man! i totally get that!

I saw "Across the Universe" today for the first time,and WOW that movie had feeling. I felt every emotion the actors were delivering at every scene.It didn't hurt my heart.It was like it stopped. It stopped because of that beautiful moment.

It has happened not only with movies but random stuff people have done as a gesture of love or appreciation. That instant my heart stops and its a happy feeling.

idk how to describe it. All I know it's an awesome feeling.

Oh and "Across The Universe" was AWESOME!

I loved it!

Answer 6

Yeh because the beautiful women say NO!!

Answer 7

And the same to you!

I think this a normal emotion for those of us lucky enough to be able to lift our spirits above the struggle to survive. This is not given to most of humanity.

Sorry, I don't mean to lecture! The first time it happened to me was when I heard Bach's Mass in B Minor.  The second when I walked through the entrance and saw the Taj Mahal.

I'm still waiting for the third...

Answer 9
