ASMR Fans

[cakewench]

ASMR has come up in threads a few times, so I thought it made sense to start a thread for people to share their favorite videos/artists/triggers/etc.

I'm a fan of ASMR Darling and WhispersRed (though I find some of the role-playing ones kinda corny). Bob Ross doesn't always trigger brain tingles, but I still find him very soothing.

I haven’t found any type of channel I like, but it’s mostly watching others do a quiet activity like studying while taking notes, data entry, paper work etc.

what is ASMR?

It stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. Basically when some people hear or see certain things, they get a tingling sensation on their head/neck. I never realized there was an actual name for it before someone mentioned it on here a few months ago, so I started looking up videos on YouTube and now I play them while falling asleep most nights. It's very relaxing.

I like WhispersRed and GentleWhispering.

I’ve recently started watching Tena ASMR and Lily Whispers ASMR. They do a lot of makeup-related videos. Either applying it, or talking about and tapping on products. Tapping videos are what I watch, probably 98% of the time. I like watching unboxing videos as well and I prefer whispering to soft spoken.

I personally don’t like the role plays, eating, ear massage, or really any other kind of ASMR videos.

[Dr. Cox]

I don’t get tingles, but I find them extremely calming and they help me go to sleep.

[lucilleaustero]

Okay, so like cake decorating videos help me zen out, I feel myself getting calm and quiet...does that qualify?

[frantastic]

Maybe I'm broken, but I have the opposite response. I watched a few when they were mentioned here a while back, and they made me feel uncomfortable.

No, I'm the same (and really, I don't know why I'm in here). Not sure if it's due to my misophonia or that combined with my synesthesia that makes it too much for me to handle. The soft noise ones especially make me want to jump out of my skin.

Nota🎃 - that is fascinating!

They have the opposite effect on MH too. I’m assuming it’s an extreme one or the other.

I do like Bob Ross though I'm not sure I get brain tingles, I just find his voice and painting style soothing.

That pottery wheel bothers me. I don't know why but it does. It's almost too much. I need a color contrast or something.

Love this! I will look more of these up!

I like the sand.tagious videos on youtube and instagram. Its kinetic sand cutting and squishing. I don't know why i like them so much because the idea of my kids having that sand all over the house is less then relaxing but the videos are so good.

[Deleted]

I like the ones with people typing but I don’t get the tingling- more just relaxation/soothing to me.

[boozeplease]

Dh thinks I’m weird but it’s enjoyable so it’s his loss lol. Whispers red is my favorite. I get the tingles from the back of my head all the way through my extremities. It’s like the opposite of my anxiety. I’ve had it since I was a small kid and decided to google it a few years ago and found out it was a thing. I do hate when people are insulting in regards to it bc it’s a good thing if it works for you.

[beatch]

They make me feel really uncomfortable. It's like listening to a creepy movie to me, all that's missing is the score. I like regular guided meditation a lot, though.

+1 to GentleWhispering I don’t love the tapping and stuff. Just the whispering.

I've been watching a lot of woodworking and resin pouring videos during MOTN wakeups with DS2. They're super calming.

[thechickencoop]

Oh I should look up some Bob Ross. Good idea guys.

I did not know what they were until now, but I just tried to watch about six, and same. And they made me feel super impatient. I love it for you all that love it.

I like Gibi ASMR. I like the ones where she does hand movements that make you feel like she’s touching you. It’s hard to explain and sounds so weird, but I’m hoping you guys know what I’m talking about 😂

WHAT


OMG

IM SO EXCITED.

I like WhispersRed, Gentle Whispering, ASMR Magic, and ASMR Darling.

I have found that many different triggers work for me. I often put ona video while I’m working (I have 2 screens) and kind of have it on as background noise to help not get too tense at my desk. I also love them to relax at bedtime.

I like role plays, tapping, scratching, crinkles, hand movements, ear cupping, cleaning videos, coloring, and show and tells.

[loony]

I can’t do the role play, but I love watching massage ASMR, but only the ones who do real massage, not the whisper ones.

Something about watching people get massaged (professionally) and the descriptions of what and why they are doing it sooth me to no end.

[Deleted]

Oh and I feel the tingles in my head, neck, shoulders, spine, and sometimes in my hip bones.

I remember in grade school watching my friends draw and getting sooo zoned out. I didn’t know it was something other people felt until I randomly saw Molly Shannon explaining it to Conan O’Brian one night while I was flipping through channels, lol.
