ASMR video watchers?

[Kale]

Anyone here watch ASMR videos on YouTube or other media? What do you think about them?

ASMR stands for autonomous sensory meridian response. It is a sensory and emotional reaction to certain stimuli. ASMR typically causes a tingling sensation that begins at the top of the head in response to soft or gentle triggers, such as having your face lightly touched or hearing someone whisper.

I know some people find them a bit cringey or off putting, but I love them. They help me relax at night before bed, and sometimes I will get tingles. I used to get them a lot when I first watched them, then I became 'tingle immune'.

Sometimes it is something I do like and enjoy. Not a big watcher much, but they can be calming.

Yes yes yes! I only started watching last year and initially despised it. However, the more I watched it and the more I explored, I actually really started to enjoy it. I do find it relaxing, but I don't use it to help myself fall asleep or anything, I just find it entertaining. I've found myself subscribed to a few channels on YouTube now, big one being Gibi. There are others too, I quite like massage ASMR, I find that the most relaxing for me.

I honestly found it probably around 2017-2018 or so. I liked it at first, and have been an avid watcher of ASMR content ever since. I don't either. I just use it to relax mainly and not to help fall asleep. So many different triggers and such too out there.
