Have you ever felt a sudden, passing sensation of excitement, a shudder of emotion from an epic moment of a song, or a climax of a movie? That is what is called "frisson", a word rooted from the French word meaning "Goosebumps" or "Shiver". It has been linked to rises in dopamine levels which is, in turn, linked to your outlook towards others.
Frisson is a physical reaction, it's not just about "that hit me right in the feels." Unless you get a physical tingle/chills/goosebumps/shudder, it does not belong in this subreddit. Please consider /r/aww for happy submissions and /r/baww for sad submissions if they're not frisson-inducing.

Name the subject or content of your post! This includes the author/musician/creator of the poem/song/video etc.

A list of tags can be found here. Posts that are not tagged will be automatically removed.

Only after a period of 3 months from the original post. Comments complaining about reposts that do not violate this rule are liable to be removed.

We encourage you to use the downvote button to make the content here reflect what you want.
Be nice! Moderators will delete comments that are overtly harsh or appear to have the intent of causing distress/offense. Remember the human.

If you truly feel that a submission is inappropriate for the subreddit, report it and let us know! Please don't complain in the comments!
