Gently stroking a folded towel (i.e. the ASMR thread)

I love both of those!!

Just the sets and prep work that has to go into each Video..i.will absolutely try her tomorrow

 

I've recently discovered Moonlight Cootage ASMR as another one for the list of 'insanely detailed ASMR RP things', this one with a lovely french accent and into the 'historic' direction, so if that's your thing, might be worth checking her out, too.

 

Okay so, this is something I've been meaning to ask, but can Bad ASMR be a thing?

I like good textures, but certain sounds and sights - the gentle nail-tapping thing, the sight of the blue and red lights on emergency vehicles, some 'flicker' effects on videos and horror websites, gentle rasping sounds - give me the sort of prickling/tingling sensation on my scalp and the inside of my brain I've heard described by ASMRers, but it's NOT AT ALL pleasurable.

It makes me feel kinda nauseous at best, really sick at worst. Is this a thing?? Do other people have this?? Am I at a risk for seizures or something?

 

I can't give an insight re: seizures, but a very augh no kind of ASMR is a thing - one friend of mine can't stand the sensation.

 

I have both the ASMR reaction and SPD (sensory processing disorder) that gives me texture sensitivities regarding sound, so at least my lived experience is that there is such a thing as Bad ASMR. In fact, there are a few specific types of ASMR sounds that trigger my SPD, which is why I can't watch compilations, I need to know exactly what the sound sources are and even then I sometimes get whapped with Bad Texture Sounds. It sounds like you might be experiencing something similar.

 

It’s been a hot minute, but I would be very surprised if people are sensitive enough to sounds to have pleasant physical reactions could not also have very negative reactions, like misophonia.

 

Really enjoying KarlASMR, a new discovery to me.

I fell asleep during part one of this so fast that I have very little idea what’s actually in the video though the beginning was good, but I was awake a fair bit into this one. It stands alone fine. It’s just the second of the premise. And it’s adorable. Good vibes, funny and personable, and then I fell asleep.


I’m really looking forward to his upcoming Worst Reviewed Doctor Part 2. Part 1 had me laughing so hard I doubt I could sleep to it even if I wanted to. I kinda really want more ASMR like that now. Not everything has to be sleep. A good laugh is stress relief too.

 

I like this guy

 

This was so, so helpful when I needed to relax but my attention was all over the place, which makes it very frustrating to try to do relaxing things like watch ASMR videos. This video was very successful at helping me hold my focus and quickly bring it back whenever it jumped away. I felt significantly less scattered by the end. I’m sure it won’t be the thing for everyone, but it was exactly it for me.

 

I hate Love Actually. This is not a surprise. I would never have watched it of my own accord because I knew it wasn’t gonna be my cup of tea. But a friend of mine really liked it, so I sat through it at a party once. Recently a totally different friend, hearing how much I disliked the movie, said she thought the gift wrapping scene was worth it because the actors had such great chemistry for comedy. She convinced me to rewatch the scene since I’d entirely forgotten it and had no idea what she was even talking about. She was right. That one three minute scene was very entertaining indeed.

But now, oh heavens, I’m extra super glad she got me to rewatch that bit so that I can fully appreciate this perfect, beautifully made, hilarious ASMR parody, described by the creator as “more chaotic than expected”:

 

These are so weirdly fascinating.

 

I love me a jaw droppingly elaborate roleplay, so this Myaling ASMR video is right up my alley:



The care taken with every aspect even extends to the subtitles, which is just so nice. It has some lovely kneading of some kind of foam-slime substance, which makes my life.

 

The voice is so soothing, I have sensory issues with straight up whispering and some people's quiet voices are just, like... smacky? Her's is nice and flowy

 

Oooh, I will have to check that out then, because yeah whisper ASMR can be such a roulette with the sounds

 

I quite like her stuff! she has a lot of like, teaparty and such too, though those include eating noises and i know a lot of people cannot with that
