Do you find that some geographic aspects seem to influence certain moods, like sadness or happiness, and when you go to another place you sense a different mood? Or is this simply tuning in to the attitudes of the people of that area?

Sure, I'm happy when I'm at the beach.

Actually...yes!
I've heard that (for example) Niagara Falls is a very "romantic" feeling place because the falls charge the air with ions. Whether this is true or not, places will feel different because of their air content, altitude, nearness to the sea, climate, how hot or cold they are, the radiation from the sun, etc. There is also a spiritual aspect to some places, like battlefields. I always feel very reverent to fallen lives when I go into the Alamo. Part of this is psychological of course (knowing what happened there), but I believe another part is my spirit picking up on human loss of life and sadness, and the honor left by people dying for what they believe in. While all of this seems mystical and metaphysical, I believe there is an element of truth to it. The world is not only what we can SEE with our eyes, right?

There is a certain climatic condition that literally gives me goosebumps in a good way. I have to be up in the mountains, it needs to be cloudy in a dark way, and there needs to be a sense that something intense is about to break loose. I have read that it is the ions in the atmosphere that are doing this but I have never been able to find a clear explanation. All I know is that I feel an expansiveness to my self and an overall feeling of extreme well being almost in a spiritual way.

Rain--the more violent the better--calms me and makes me "happy". Atmospheric pressure and the presence of ozone (from electrical disturbance--lightening) create, for me, these pleasant effects--while the majority of others react badly to the same stimuli. It may be DNA imprinting. i.e. if rain/storms were a "good thing" to your particular ancestors or not. Or maybe I'm just nuts.
Apart from that, the "buzz" of Manhattan, the "vibe" of Paris and the "pulse" of London are known entities. Yes; it is possible to tune into the energies that surround us. In fact only the mentally ill do not.

The term, "Atmospheric moods" is excellent.
I feel this atmosphere, as we all do (most either are unaware of it, or dismiss it); it is a little of both of the things you mention; it actually is the attitudes of the people of a given area that bring about this atmosphere (including the weather).
Energy is everything that we are, whatever our focus.

Yes. There are a few possible explanations. One is that you're observant. However, not all instances of this come from mere observation. Sensitivity to energy and the ability to discriminate various energies can be developed with enough focus and dedication. Some people are born with a knack for it, and some have to work for it. I'm the latter, it took hard work and practice for me.

I think I can agree with this opinion to a degree as it may very well be true for lots of people. Just like lots of sun helps to make some feel better, less depressed...Other people may get a boost but always carry an inner sadness due to something deep seated. Than there's those who are truly depressed and it makes no difference where they are.......

persons's moods impact me too, yet i'm no longer as tender as others i recognize. I merely get grouchy and do not recognize why. Others that i recognize can tell which man or woman that's coming from (without even chatting with them). As a Christian, I manage it with the help of sharing my emotions with God, praying for the region and asking Him to modify the region for me, and focusing my recommendations on functional issues that God has carried out for me in my existence (being grateful). from time to time I even ought to target this in the previous i bypass right into a demanding situation. desire that facilitates you.

No idea but I know different altitude and air pressure can cause you to feel differently...like how I often get a headache when bad weather is coming (and it leaves after the weather is past).

I think its the vibe of the people in the place. I can't stand Chicago, for example. Just driving through it without stopping leaves me pissed off and defensive for the whole day.

Yes, I know exactly what you mean and in fact, there are certain places I try to avoid if I can because of it.
Glad to know I am not alone in this...
