Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- Sometimes a piece of music or a line in a film sends a wave of chills right up my arms, and instead of paying any attention to it I brush it off as "just a draft" and move on
- The few times I’ve been swept up in something huge in a crowd
- I get this sudden lump in my throat when I see someone be quietly, extraordinarily good
- I feel small and stuck inside my own head, looping on my own problems, and I want something vast enough
- I think I’d need a grand vacation or some once-a-year spectacle to feel genuinely moved, so I just don’t
