Do you experience 'frisson', goosebumps or a lump in your throat when listening to music?

[ofwarren]

I wonder if this is more or less common in ND people?

I experience this a lot!

I currently have my headphones on and have waves of it running through my body. It seems to start at the top of my arms and runs all the way down to my toes. Like a fast wave of goosebumps.

I have had goosebumps before, yes. Only with certain pieces though. Doesn't happen all the time.

Yes, definitely!

I do but not with all music.

Yes!

Yes. Goosebumps with certain music. Ones off the top of my head are Glasgow Love Theme and The Green Fields of France. One by U2 and Mary J Blige. And Feeling Good by Muse. I get goosebumps more if I sing along (in my head I have a fabulous voice) as it intensifies the feeling.

I've got toothache today so I'm playing songs I like down my headphones quite loudly.
All over tingles from the tops of my arms, down to my feet and certain melodies make me cry. I'm not sad but the sound makes me emotional.
The songs aren't sad songs and neither are the lyrics. I can't describe what it is. It's the all encompassing feeling and pattern of the sound going from ear to ear.
It's like being hugged by sound.

I get a rush of emotion and could literally sob.
It must be an auditory stim.

Yes, not to everything but to quite a lot. But I hide it if I’m with people.

Do do I. Even to my husband.

I get tingles all over my scalp with some music. Edgar’s Nimrod is one I can think of right now. It’s very intense but pretty pleasant.

I think everyone experiences this, neurodiverse or not.

Yes, often - I prickle all over and also get a feeling of being on the verge of tears. Classical music is more likely to do this than pop - Faure always sets me off, and Satie; also (although I am an agnostic) it often happens with hymns. With pop it's mostly 'heavy' but quite anthemic music such as Queensryche and Cradle of Filth.

Not everyone does. www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/the-sensory-revolution/202002/have-you-ever-had-skin-orgasm
55-85% of people.
I'm discussing it as a stim.

I'm going to have a hard time trying to talk about things that relate only to ND people because nothing is exclusively ND. NT people stim, NT people have food aversion, NT people self harm, NT people have anxiety, NT people have no friends, NT people are introverted, NT people are bullied, NT people like Disney & Harry Potter etc etc etc

I just want to discuss the way my body works without people saying this to me all the time.

I'm sorry for the outburst

I think I'm going to have to switch off for the day as I'm too stressed and anxious.

I'll be back on tomorrow

Hope you can manage to unwind soon, ofwarren
