I always liked watching some sad movies, until something really sad happened in my life.
At that point I went through the emotions I didn’t think I could survive because I am a very emotional person. For 2 years I had an awful depression due to sudden long distance relationship with my then fiance, my love language is touching, when I was suddenly and unexpectedly separated from him, that almost killed me, I started having anxiety attacks at night and had fever for a year due to separation anxiety, all of this was accompanied by my lovely grandpa’s death and later on with the break up with my fiance. My family was very concerned about my health. They told me to at least do something fun and they wouldn’t judge me on anything, as long as I just started to enjoy life again.
At that time I started therapy and when it didn’t help and the therapist suggested I’d take some medicines, I refused, I decided to just once and for all finish grieving and live a happy life again. Without medicines without anything, just with my own efforts. I started watching comedies. They helped a lot!
Since I am here to tell a story and I overcame that hardest period of my life, I’ve decided to watch more comedies because life is already full with dramas and pain… Why should I make my mind worried even more of it?

Even though i enjoy comedies a lot. i can also still enjoy a good drama too. i think movies if done well and the writing is on point can really give one a newfound sense of empathy for whatever subject it is addressing.
Like for instance watching Forrest Gump can give you a better emotional connection with how poorly those with severe mental illness are treated.
But i see your point bout comedies helping us to laugh and enjoy life again after enduring hardships or heartbreak
Nope, Forrest Gump reminds me of my ex, he and I watched it together and he was always telling he felt like he was like Forrest Gump and he was lucky and blessed to get my love and deserve it. He told me, no matter what he would always love me in the most crazy way possible and as foolish as it might sound like, he would keep loving regardless of how I’d treat him.
But yep, I get your point as well.
well yeah if you did things with your ex personally then of course it will only remind you of him.
