Anons, since yesterday I have been experiencing almost constant goosebumps. I have had these before and although they ares similar to being cold or something they are different. In the past, I have had this experience to times when a stranger was doing something kind or nice for me.

I looked this up a long time ago and knew it was something others experienced but forgot what it was called, so I looked it up again. I read a few sources but then I came across this:

https://wayseers.org/frisson/

It's called frisson and I wondered if any of you are experiencing something similar?

I'm still researching because I have never had it happen many times in a row over an extended period of time.

The role of personality

Results from the personality test showed that the listeners who experienced frisson also scored high for a personality trait called Openness to Experience.

Studies have shown that people who possess this trait have unusually active imaginations, appreciate beauty and nature, seek out new experiences, often reflect deeply on their feelings, and love variety in life.

Some aspects of this trait are inherently emotional (loving variety, appreciating beauty), and others are cognitive (imagination, intellectual curiosity).

While previous research had connected Openness to Experience with frisson, most researchers had concluded that listeners were experiencing frisson as a result of a deeply emotional reaction they were having to the music.

In contrast, the results of our study show that it’s the cognitive components of “Openness to Experience” – such as making mental predictions about how the music is going to unfold or engaging in musical imagery (a way of processing music that combines listening with daydreaming) – that are associated with frisson to a greater degree than the emotional components.
