Does nostalgia make you feel good or bad

Ive got such weird emotions about this.

Sometimes I feel so good thinking about my past feelings I had, and then sometimes It feels like ass.

Do you like that nostalgia feeling?

Oh man, nostalgia is always a trip. It can range from sorrow filled loss, to joyous bliss.

Regrets, or boons. Sometimes both at once.

Perfect example, I remember renting a video game as a child, but have long since lost the name of the game. The regret is I lost that game to time, the boon is I got a chance to have fun playing it in the first place.

I often wonder what future me will be nostalgic about that I’m experiencing right now. 60 year old me being nostalgic of this moment right now, conscious of my fleeting time.

But I’m also a madman,

usually, nostalgia is good for me. Not too many traumatic events for me as a child, so there’s that.

It usually feels good around the holidays

I’ll get both happy and sad memories but lots of times I’ll feel sadness for some reason.

Most of my past is pretty sad. Thinking about anything from my mid twenties or earlier usually leads to depression.

I get nostalgia to music and nature. Even in the bad times. It feels good. However I have terrible memories I wouldn’t call that nostalgia.

Nostalgia normally brings good memories to me. I’ve had a good life in the end.

At my mom’s my kids played with my childhood toys. What mom?

I like it especially when I listen to music.

I hate nostalgia. I look back on the past with rose tinted glasses thinking they were better times, but they were just as crappy. I cant remember the last time I was truly happy. It feels like my emotions range from bad to not so bad, but never happy. Happiness seems like a mythological creature at this point.

When I lived abroad, I had too much nostalgia about my country… Way too much… Probably pathologically too… It could be a tough feeling I find, yeap :confused: … Thinking about the past is necessary, but it can be quite bad too in general…

I mainly miss the energy I had back then and feeling like my brain can breathe properly! I just feel a bit suffocated in the head nowadays on aps.

Years ago, nostalgia would really get me down, depressed and suicidal. Now, however, it leaves me blank and emotionless. Thank goodness.

My nostalgia is full of regret. Opportunities Lost and many bad decisions.

I try to look to the Future, or im prone to pick up a bottle.

I Find Music is what brings back all past memorys , Some Good , Some Bad & What i Now do is make Playlists that only bring back the good Memories. While I Use any bad memories to try to learn from and not make the mistakes again that caused the bad memories.

Make yourself a feelgood Playlist :slight_smile:

Mine is Soul from the 70s/80s

Nostalgia brings a sense of loss for me. Even though there are just as many good memories as bad for some reason I miss what I use to have.

I have no nostalgia because I have no memory of past events

Man, I long for yesterday. I slept in and had a pancake breakfast. It was a simpler time; I miss those days.

I’m like you. I can feel both. One thing I miss about my life a long time ago is that I could relax. It wasn’t such a pain to go places.
