I usually experience ASMR when I'm at libraries that are near dead silent. Every whisper, every flip of a page, every step becomes an audible sensation.

This happens to me whenever I get a haircut. Whether it's the agile slidey-metallic snip-snip-snip of the scissors, or the buzz of the... whatever the hell that thing is called, word is escaping me at the moment... buzzer? Err, wait, is it seriously buzzer? Seems wrong. Anyway, that.

Seems like half fo all asmr videos on youtube involve haircut role playing.

You get quiet sound right by your ears, and weird tactile inputs. Doesn't surprise me at all.

I'm pretty sure listening to music can potentially trigger the same effect. I remember the very last song in cowboy bebop after spike died gave me tingly feelings. So I assume if some song triggers some kind of emotional response in a state of relaxation you'd probably get the same asmr feeling. Repeated exposure probably desensitizes you from it though.

or maybe some people think things are weird and awkward

different strokes for different folks

I like it · 02-27-2014, 08:57 PM

ive been watching these vids for a while now and although i dont usually get the 'sensation' that comes with them i enjoy em cause theyre super relaxing and i can fall asleep np after a quick lil session

**Cavernio** · 02-28-2014, 09:46 AM

It's all about the little sounds that a person makes when they talk that aren't part of the actual word, like lips slightly smacking, the intakes of breath.

**Reincarnate** · 02-28-2014, 12:06 PM

I personally hate the smacking -- but I like the "clicks" of certain hard consonants when whispered

**Cavernio** · 02-28-2014, 12:23 PM

Well in a regular conversation, the moist sound of someone smacking's gross. But the soft barely audible sound of it is quite different.

This is REALLY bizarre... but the essence of my synesthesia has to do with a visual representation of ASMR. It involves visualizing a large dark blue ball, and then a PIXEL sized dark blue speck that runs through the dark blue ball, and stretches the membrane of it. It is so small in detail that it causes my brain to go into an ASMR type state, especially when I imagine these things circling/rotating each other when this animation happens.

This may or may not also be related but I get a similar sensation if I see a swarm of bugs over my head, a flock of birds taking off, and maybe fireworks.

**drizzleRomanceGirl** · 03-1-2014, 12:11 PM

I sometimes have this sensation when my Aunt who lives in another state visits me and is affectionate with me. For most people, I would be really uncomfortable when someone hugged me for no reason. However, the way she used to hug me and stroke my hair when I was about seven-years-old somehow gives me the same feeling as an adult...

Spenner · 03-2-2014, 10:48 AM

I think that's more along the lines of nostalgia, though there could be a related mechanism.

PS does the voice in this employ ASMR? It starts at 2:00. It's always given me a similar feeling to the gentle voices stuff.

Oh by the way Fairy Char is also a really good ASMR channel

But she looks exactly like a female Litodude and once I realized that it more or less ruined every one of her videos for me rofl all I see is his avatar

choof · 04-7-2014, 01:39 AM

can't stand the videos with voices apparently, but I found this channel (on /mu/ of all places) and it's practically a treasure trove
