why does nostalgia make me feel sick? like physically ill?

360 viewsBiologyOther

whenever i look back at college videos, or things from my childhood, school, stuff like that, it always makes me feel sick, like i want to throw up. everything just feels like shit when i try to reminisce. why is this?

i’m a very material person, i keep (hoard) absolutely everything and i have a memory box full to the brim with photos, tickets and trinkets and such that i like to keep, but i hate looking at it all. i only ever open it to add to it.

edit: elaboration

I feel exactly the same so I’m not sure if I’d be biased or not, but for me its the fact that I am at a spot in life where I feel lonely and isolated, so looking at times where yes, I had less freedom in terms of money and all, I had less worries too and more time to spend with friends. Now I am in the march of life and it feels like I’ve ran out of special experiences.
