Not to be confused with CutenessProximity (in fact, that one functions more as a subtrope), since this describes the ''state'' the character is in, whereas Cuteness Proximity requires the character suffering from the effects of Cuteness Overload to be within a particular distance from the cute thing -— and often the cute thing in question must be a physical being or object. However, the former can obviously result in the latter, and the two tropes often do overlap. It may also result in [=~I'm Taking Her Home With Me!~=]

Cuteness Overload is the state in which a character experiences the immense rush of emotion after seeing (or hearing) something [[{{Moe}} very]], [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter very]] [[{{Kawaisa}} cute]], often rendering him/her partly or wholly incapacitated. The sudden charge of feelings could create so effective an incapacitation that the character may have to be woken up by another character calling his/her name [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan or by other means]]. Depending on the situation, it shares some traits with a HeroicBSOD, but the difference is an exposure to cuteness rather than a traumatic event.
