Hi guys,

I have a problem but can't explain/fix it. Maybe somebody here can point the right direction for me.

The thing is I become too emotionally overwhelmed while watching some scenes in movies or TV shows (to the point that I leave the room). It's difficult to describe such scenes in general or recall some particular moment. Probably if I could describe it better, it wouldn't be so difficult to explain such reaction.

My biggest complain is that I'm unable to enjoy a good comedy. For example, I love "Friends" and "Sex and the City" but watching almost any episode makes me shut my ears and close my eyes at least a couple of times. I'm not talking about sexual scenes or something like that. Such emotional overloads often happen when characters (or actors) behave inappropriate (whatever this means). Yesterday it happened when Charlotte tried to learn some silly dance and then refused to dance in front of her dancing class (or something like that). It was still very funny for me but at the same time I just couldn't watch and listen.

I can't stand reality shows. In this case almost every action of every person seems inappropriate, phony or just stupid. I don't care about such shows, this is just an example.

And the last example is horror movies. When I watched "The Ring" it was SO scary that I couldn't sleep at night for a week after that. I haven't watch any real horror movies since then.

I appreciate any advice.

UPDATE: Probably I haven't made it clear enough but I DO enjoy comedy. Somehow I really like "Ace Ventura" but have difficulty watching "American Pie".

And perhaps it's difficult to understand but I love "American Pie" too. It's just some scenes that make me owerwhelmed - not the whole experience.

I gave up horror movies (it's just not my genre) but don't want to do the same with comedies. It's important for me to understand the reason behind this behaviour. What's the difference between "Ace Ventura" and "American Pie" for example? Why can't I enjoy both at the same level?
