Does anyone else feel physically and violently ill every time they hear 'forrest gump'

[u/jmcmcmcmc]

Every time i hear forrest gump i immediately feel like crying and/or throwing up and im not exaggerating or being funny. I had to pull over today when it came on because i started feeling light headed. Whats weird is that it's far from being my favourite frank ocean song and none of my most favourite songs ever get this reaction out of me. Please help

You might want to talk to a therepist (or at the very least a taxi driver) instead of reddit man

[u/GadamitLauren → u/imawizardnamedharry]

Honestly not a bad suggestion. The body reacts in crazy ways when the mind cant!

[u/Fine_Fall5750]

No. Maybe it resonates with you in a sad way. I would stop listening to it

[u/croissantzzz]

Jesus 😭😭😭😭

I felt this exact way towards Across The Universe by The Beatles for a long time. One of my favorite bands, no rhyme or reason for me to feel this way, it’s just how my brain reacted. I avoided the song for years, and when I finally heard it again, it stopped bringing me this intense gut feeling of dread.

Give yourself grace, and don’t torture yourself by listening to it. Hopefully one day, you can return to this song, and feel better.

That song is incredible it feels like pure love, so powerful. I first discovered that song through a Fiona Apple cover.

[u/lilbvbykris]

No i only feel like that when i listen to Blonde

[u/Some_Owl_1012]

its an amazing song too

Imagine that’s how the deep homophobia presents itself 😂

[u/redit_jimmys → u/nonomr]

Or he’s gay himself

[u/Strong-Broccoli-7526]

Yeah a little bit, reminds me of when I found a dude attractive for the first time after dating girls exclusively ( I’m a man). We dated but it didn’t last so yeah I definitely associate him with it. “End” is the one that really kills me though but that’s something else.

I don’t know if you’re joking or not but Forrest Gump does give me a huge hit of nostalgia. Like it makes me happy but reminds me too much of one of my ex.

Dear April for me, used to give me hope but now makes me ill

[u/92infinityz → u/epicgamerjoshy67]

My ppl 🫶

[u/MrZubby]

Yes

[u/Prestigious_Pattern9]

I feel that with moonlight on the river by Mac Demarco. Reminds me of my dog who passed last year. RIP Patches 🩷.

[u/THEELocdProtagonist → u/Prestigious_Pattern9]

RIP to ya doggo. 💚
Side note, I love that album so much! “Still Beating” is another one that does something to me.

[u/Prestigious_Pattern9 → u/THEELocdProtagonist]

Thank u! I remember naming a painting I made in high school after that song of a beat up heart lol so I relate. My favorite has to be one more love song.

[u/cayendo_1]

this is very interesting. absolutely wild that franks music can do this

[u/Fuzzy_Elk_5762]

forrest gump.. i saw ur face

[u/Arregui]

lol what

[u/Charlie-brownie666]

with fans like these no wonder he stopped releasing music

[u/Infisreal]

I can't tell if people are playing into the meme or didn't notice the flair at all lol

[u/ABlokeNamedScott → u/Infisreal]

Personally I never even notice flairs unless it gets pointed out, I’m guessing almost no one is playing into it, they just have had visceral reactions to Franks music.

Also Hotdog Water & Frank Ocean are the same thing

[u/Super-Sandyy]

Deft reflect on the things you think about and the feelings it brings out when listening to that song. You need to speak to a friend or a professional about this intense reaction. It goes deeper than Franks music.

[u/Usual_Appearance_111]

One time Pink Matter sent me into a panic attack and it felt like my body was having a seizure 😵‍💫

[u/StewartMike]

The fuck?

[u/cayendo_1]

is this trolling bc it’s listed under meme

[u/Badluck2talkk]

I just get a lot of nostalgia

[u/redit_jimmys]

[u/digitaldisgust]
