ASMR?

Post Reply New Topic

Does anybody else here have ASMR? (Autonomous sensory meridian response) basically means that certain tones of voices, sounds, movements give you brain tingles and helps you get tired/sleepy/relaxed. I hope it makes sense. I have this and was just wondering if others have it too?

I don't get tingles, but I like ASMR. It's very relaxing.

Yeah I've had those responses as far back as I can remember, it's only recently that I discovered it had a name and a sizable YouTube community dedicated to it.
It gets triggered by some very odd things like the sound of someone eating, breathing heavily, Noam Chomski's voice, I remember a couple of years ago when I was working in a supermarket, there was a customer whistling quite loudly to himself, all of my colleagues were getting very irritated by it and I found it very calming.
It's a very weird thing. Lol

Yes, I experience ASMR to certain auditory, visual and cognitive stimuli. I experience it most significantly in response to particular sounds, especially those of the the ambient variety, and music that is structured in certain ways, can trigger it, significantly.

Crap...One more thing to learn about LOL I had no idea that was a 'thing'.

The worst thing that I am going through is that I am finding out all sorts of things that I thought were what everybody experienced, just ain't so.

I watched some of the videos related to this on YouTube and it was pretty amazing. There is one of a lady whispering for about 8 minutes and it was the most incredibly relaxing thing ever. The feeling I got was a warm sensation in my brain down through my spine. It was kind of like quick meditation. Very relaxing.

There was another one of a lady crinkling a plastic bag for several minutes. That was more irritating than relaxing for me.
