Yeah, because I know it won't last forever.

Yes, absolutely. Happens all the time when out, seeing really really ridiculously good looking people lol... or listening to Utopian music (sickly happy).. and other times too.

Sometimes the converse is true too, a clammy morose ecstasy and dark sanctitude that comes out of the worst inner pain

I think much of it has to do with being Type 4 being prone to feeling envy.

I relish in beautiful pain. I do not hesitate to listen to/see things/appreciate stuff that will make me "suffer" (feel intensely.) Deeply felt emotions are such a huge part of who I am, that I do not want to ever dissasociate with them; they are just part of me (which doesn't mean it's wrong for others to not be emotional/avoid intense feelings.)

[IcarusDreams]

I think I can relate... I have a tendency to cry when something beautiful strikes me, and so that can make me want to avoid it. I know there are some songs out there that I find deep and beautiful and moving, and sometimes they will come on the mp3 player and I'll skip them because I don't want to feel that intensity right now. Or movies that truly moved me, like Brokeback Mountain, I have only seen twice even though I loved them deeply. I can't handle just watching it again all willy nilly, it has to be the right time and I have to be in that zone. I have to be prepared for it because I know it's going to be powerful and hit me like a ton of bricks, but in a good way.

I possess the same sensitivity, but rarely shy away from the pain/sensitive experiences. :) I love sadness and deep melancholy feelings-which doesn't mean that I am actually unhappy. I will readily put a specific song on replay just to "suffer", or will intentionally see an emotional movie to keep my feelings alive. :)

Sweet pain!

I kind of live for that, actually, though I will ration certain experiences I find so beautiful as to be transcendent. My favorite album I play once a month at most and then I have to be in a certain mood and I'll do nothing but lie down in the dark and listen.

I can see where you're coming from, though.

Sometimes when I am reading classical literature, my brain becomes over-loaded by the beauty of it and I start to think I will become spoiled..
I also have this problem with the person I love..
I love him so much that it's difficult to imagine being with him sometimes..

When I feel an excessive amount of joy or something beyond my wildest dreams is right in front of me, I become intimidated by the pure awesomeness of it and feel paralyzed..

I love the feeling of having my mind blown, so I don't try to avoid it, but that feeling can be painful as hell too. :o
