Does music make you very emotional?

quote from Kitlily:And of course people can attack you easily if you're outside lost in music instead of staying aware of who's around you.**********( humans are not meant to live like this constantly) imho.
Oddly when I was younger and had been terrorized by my own family in repeated violent encounters,for a large part of my early life . I had developed this concept as well . But occassionally , when I felt safe , before all that started my father had introduced me to music. Classical . Otherwise , even to this day . Certain times and mostly in certain environments. I would prefer absolute quiet, It felt better to my mind and nervous system . For those exact same. reasons. Those Where my absolute beliefs . Later on even when these physical threats were not happening.Was still"on Point" It was very hard on my own nervous system. It helped cause my nervous system to be hypertuned to sounds around me,And alertness to movement .This is called nervous system entrainment But it was a survival mechanism A very necessary one given circumstances . But a price on the individual living in these circumstances pays . High sensativity to ( sound)noises, touch ,Lights. Certain lower levels are needed of stress to get the body to learn to adapt to change and physical challenges. But even semi normal nervous systems normally.Will learn to turn off the stress levels and grow normally( whatever normal is suppose to be)
Seems often the Aspie body does not do this well ? And possibly reinforced by Nervous system Entrainment.
Now will say something,about learning about my body. These are not the circumstances a normal child Autistic or
NT are sipposed to grow up under .Being safe in yourself and your surroundings( somehow) are important to proper growth and development and learning of any child. This constant level of PTSD style inducing living. is toxic to a nervous system. Resulting in high cortisol levels in the body...resulting in very high inflammation levels in a persons entire body .The inflammation causes the weakest parts of a human anatomy to age faster .Joints first normally.
Or whatever is the weakest point .Heart Attacks, etc , Chronic illness. The key to longer much healthier longer life is to keep inflamnation down! And better music appreciation. .
(Just by the way the US gov. is keenly aware of these factors,it would appear, And it will help keep the population
numbers down. Due to long exposure to stress.And possibly why constant exposure to media giving bad news,
seems important to be broadcast to the public ?) IMHO

Interesting, I didn't know Oliver Sacks' book.

I thought he couldn't like music.

However, I understand the desire to hear the sounds that you define as natural.

I like the slow flow of water.

And it's even healing.

I'm in a city where everyone knows how to ride a bicycle from a very young age.

Some go there without using their hands.

They have like a mental radar and move through a crowd of people avoiding them.

Naturally there are rules to follow and in case of crowding you can hold the bike by hand and get off.

Some keep two, one of them has a problem.

Except that whoever is riding his keeps the other one in perfect balance too.

It took me months to understand how they did things.

I understood some of them.

Others don't.

If I can I use the bicycle to do things around. But some areas are unsafe and the traffic is too dangerous.

Others are truly perfect.

Then it is full of parks.

What you write is interesting because everything is music, even what doesn't seem to be, is actually number.

A girl once told me that I didn't know how to concentrate by abstracting myself and listening only to the sounds of nature.

The thought was and is, very intelligent.

Human beings do not know how to look into the distance, they do not know how to look from above, they do not know how to listen to nature.

Sometimes he does not perceive the flavors of food.

Yesterday we were tasting some food and I was the only one who made any distinctions in this.
For the others everything was perfect.

For me it wasn't.

I perceive the flavors perhaps much more.

Nature has sounds and too many of us are not educated to listen to them.

This is a gap.

When I don't know a particularity I don't find it strange that some people perceive things differently than me.

Indeed, I find that the variety of people's behaviors is a social asset.

Many are self-centered and that's it.

I like it, so you must like it too otherwise it's strange.

I don't think so, it would mean not truly accepting people as they are.

And judge them for their particularity.

Usually I see music.

So it flows, and I see the mistakes.

I have a bad experience with the heartbeat.

By chance I was walking along a street in Milan.
There was the final part of a Gay pride.

I was in a hurry and walked quickly.

I felt the street shaking due to the loud bass sounds.

The heart itself perceived them.

That was a bad time for induced sounds.


They were so intense.

For me it was sound pollution.

The rest was completely normal.

The musical sounds were annoying.

There is a music section in the forum.

I often post songs there.

I wrote reviews for radio stations.

In reality, I did the first one involuntarily at school, music class.

Mozart's Requiem KV 626.

We then had to comment on it.

I wrote six lines and that was it.

I got the highest marks.

I wrote implicitly that in my opinion we were not all hearing pieces by Mozart, but by others.

The teacher told me I was right.

For the others, however, he was Mozart and that was it.

I wondered what they had heard.

It happens to me with tastes.

And it involves food restrictions, as I can't eat exactly the same food as everyone else.

I separate foods, and some give me nausea.

Just tasting a small spoonful of a dish that I don't like.

The same goes for music: I imagine you might not like that music which perhaps almost everyone likes.

I believe everything balances out.

So a lack of ability in one thing implies an exceptionality in other things.

We always take things for granted, but people are not all the same at all.

Ok, here we are almost all autistic so this is a banal statement I make.
