Everytime i watch a movie i cant help myself but feel what the role player feels or say the lead actor and lead actress feels. When the movie is sad and there are lots of crying, i cried with them. When it is comedy, i laugh with them. When it is action this is worse i even acted as if i am the actor or actress, in the end movie i felt drained and tired. If that is a suspense movie, even worse that's why i seldom watch suspense movies. Horror movies does the worst. I've witness those people sitting beside me gone one after the other. I screamed like i am the one who in the play. Did you know why? Others didnt feel or do the same as mine. I've watched several movies with friends and it is a shame. It seems that im the one who is into it.

Movies play with us all time. We love to watch them and get lost in their stories, whether its a comedy, horror, action or anything.

It isn't the movies, it is you. Some people are more empathic than others. You have a lot of empathy. An empathic person connects better with others over a detached person. You empathize better than most.

I think most people's emotions are stirred when they watch certain movies, but maybe they just do not show it on the surface. I will laugh outloud at a funny movie and on a rare occasion cry during a sad scene. You seem like you just show these emotions more, but there is nothing wrong with that and I am sure you are not the only one.

I know my sister would be first to cry with a sad movie.
On the other hand, I would be among the first to laugh in a comedy.
Music does help to stir up these emotions. But what I can't understand is that she prefers to watch sad movies that make her cry even until this day while I continue to watch movies that make me laugh.
