Whenever I go see a movie during the previews and into the first few minutes of the film I get this overwhelming urge to cry. Not related to the content of the film or anything and it only seems to happen in bigger theaters. It's like I'm a little kid and the bright lights and loud noises scare me or something but I don't actually know why I want to cry. I'm not usually a big crier so this is kind of weird. Does this happen to anyone else?

Yeah I'm with other people. I've never gone to the movies by myself. I have pretty bad OCD and anxiety in general but I don't think they're related. I wonder if it's because I miss my ex I always used to go to the movies with. I would get therapy but even with my insurance it's $75 a sesh. I was kind of hoping this was one of those things that was secretly somewhat common. Like when those weirdos get aroused when women speak in surround sound and crinkle paper.

Could be infrasound; do you have weird hearing?

Some people simply have that reaction in acoustically designed spaces, e.g. cathedrals, concert halls, etc.

This is interesting. My hearing is in fact quite weird and has gotten weirder.
