ASMR triggers

[the game]

So what sounds trigger ASMR for you? I'm particularly drawn to a massage channel on youtube. The massages they do with the binaural microphone really work. So you get the massage sounds and the whispering too. Here's a couple of the videos.

Ear cupping, mic squishing and brushing hair used to get me, but I've listened to so much of it over the past year that I've built up an immunity. No more triggers, so I don't watch 'em anymore.

This was my fave, the squishing starts at 5:00:



I hope it comes back one day...the feeling of ASMR was indescribable throughout my childhood, watching people write cursive or listening to hair brushing. And lice checks in school, I loved them and didn't really know why, couldn't explain it and I didn't know what it was, and of course it's explained and revealed later via the internet. :P

WTH is asmr?

[MonsieuRoberts]

It's like, a tingly sensation you feel in the back of your head triggered by different things. It's actually kind of hard to describe if you've never had chills during a thunderstorm or a strange sensation when brushing your hair, etc.

It's also extremely relaxing.

Sounds all creep me out.
I'm more into touch. Submerge my arms in a sack of lentils, head massage wires... that kind of thing.
Well, the sound of hair cutting does it for me too. But it must be my hair being cut.

The head massage wires are along the same line of relaxation as ASMR was for me. These things:

The virtual haircut one, maybe a little. These other ones linked here have sounds that are too creepy/unpleasant for me.

I've never understood it. All of them I've ever heard reminded me of someone making noise in a place they weren't supposed to. Annoys the fuck out of me.

This pretty much. I have some form of Sensory Dysplasia, also used to suffer from migraines (real ones, not just bad headaches). In short, I can sometimes see and feel sound, or even hear and feel light.

Walk into a noisy bar with loud music, yelling, flashing lights? Ok, good night, I'm out.

I do not believe I get ASMR sadly but there are videos that calm me down. Sounds like brushing, soft paper crinkles, magazine crinkles, and a few other things.

Dunno why.

If you haven't seen Cutebunny's Reiki video yet, try it out. Those are some magical hands she's got.

A lot of ASMR videos actually enrage me. I think I may be mildly misophonic and those group of sounds just seem to get my hackles up.

I'm the same way with "Mouth Sounds." Can't be doin' with 'em.

[Gersemi]

I get ASMR all the way down my spine and around my butt sometimes. It's my favorite way to fall asleep.

That's not being misophonic, just human. Mouth sounds are disgusting.

Call it what you want (or don't), I'm not into 'em. :V

Rain on a tin roof, the buzz and associated tick noise my phone makes when I use the keypad, and the dull drone of my computer fan are all pretty groovy times for me.
