ASMR Community on CS?

[Teaofdeath]

Hi guys! So CS is a pretty diverse community, with lots of varied interests and hobbies. I was wondering if there are any ASMR community members on here, since they are usually some of the most positive people around!

For those of you who don't know, ASMR, or autonomous sensory meridian response is a feeling of relaxation and tingles that usually occur on the head. An ASMR response is usually activated by "triggers," such as tapping, scratching on different surfaces, and crinkling. While some people don't experience ASMR response and others simply don't like it, people have reported that ASMR videos help people who have trouble sleeping go to sleep, relax, and relieve anxiety. Think white noise!

I often have trouble sleeping, and I have found that ASMR really helps with relaxing and getting to sleep at night, as was wondering if other people on here use it as well for similar problems (and if others would like to know more). Feel free to discuss popular ASMRtists, vids, ask questions, or whatever!

Woo! I thought I was the only one. I like AirLight ASMR, thatasmrchick, ASMR requests, SilentCitadel, and Gentlewhispering. It's hard sometimes to convince people to watch this stuff, usually, but after a few videos I was a complete fan!

I just got introduced to this wonderful community by my brother. I have often wondered why certain noises made me feel so good (typing in particular), and now I have found it! I have had such a hard time falling to sleep pretty much all my life, but this has been a life saver as of late <3

I love GentleWhispering, she is amazing.

I love listening to ASMR, I usually like to listen to HeatherFeather, GentleWhispering (I hope her studies on ASMR are going swimmingly!), MassageASMR, and sometimes TheWaterWhispers.

I hear TheFineBros did a React for ASMR.


What triggers do you have? I enjoy tapping ^o^

Yes! I very recently got introduced to the absolutely wonderful community of ASMR, honestly because of a Pewdiepie video, GentleWhisperings is my absolute favorite, she's just so calm and sweet and her wooden brush always works wonders, I really wish I had found ASMR earlier when I was going through some tough times, but I'm really glad to have found it now

Oh yes please! I love it and listen to it more than anything else. I enjoy those videos with minimum talking/whispering, just like tapping, ear massaging, hair brushing and all that jazz. It's been helping me fall asleep, with my stress during exams, it's a wonderful world of endless possibilities. ♥

My dad found GentleWhispering and showed me her videos but he doesn't watch ASMR videos regularly, but I got soo many tingles and slept really well that I couldn't stop watching! I have really bad anxiety and get stressed about almost everything so ASMR has really helped me with sleeping and relaxing in general. I wish more people took it seriously though.
