strange things you find calming?

[guroboss]

a lot of 90s-2000s horror games have very relaxing soundtracks actually! silent hill, resident evil, and yume nikki have no business having the amount of tracks they do that can put me to sleep almost instantly lol

[Space-Bunny]

I love the tickig of clocks, which would drive many crazy, except me

[Kyrova]

organizing stuff and train sounds

[nix3]

Walkthroughs of horror games and unreality-themed ASMR.
Softly spoken spookies really puts me to sleep, in a good way. : D

[Mr. Taker]

Mukbang videos. Helps with my ED so much.

[Dreamerdash]

back scratching and a floor fan

[Ebony Stardust]

Listening to my laptop "purr".
It makes this really quiet scratchy sound when in use that reminds me somewhat of a cat's purr. Also of Rinzler's growling/purring sound ^_^

[acura,]

cars and motorcycles that have that perfect level of exhaust noise; not too overpowering but not too quiet

[Autumnlp99]

I loveeee ASMR videos where the amsr person "does" your hair. Washing, styling ect but it's just a wig lol. Tingting is my favorite on YouTube

When I'm going through stressful life periods, I like to rewatch this one really dramatic, campy rock opera that's ... not exactly soothing? I don't know if I'm allowed to mention the name, since it's very violent and not family friendly. But the point is that it's my favorite movie of 10 years, and it has themes surrounding being brave and building a better future for yourself against all odds. Rewatching it calms me right down and makes me feel like whatever life throws at me, I can handle it!

Not something I'd ever recommend to anyone else for calming down, but for me specifically, it's such a great way to unwind. xD
