I can't stand ASMR. It always feels like my personal space is being violated when I hear it. Too close to my ears, please back off!

Same lol I just do not get the appeal
I do not watch ASMR. I do not like it. It makes my skin crawl and makes me uncomfortable. I cant explain why, I just do not like it.
I have my own personal ASMR called tinnitus that runs 24/7
I get that kind of experience from sufficiently emotional music, but whispering and crinkling sounds do absolutely nothing for me.
Emotional music makes me experience frisson, which ime is a totally different (albeit superficially similar) sensation to ASMR
Well, if that's frisson, I like frisson. I don't "get" ASMR and I've tried.
What about scalp massages and scalp treatments?
Hair brushing or nail tapping might be cool too
That Dang Dad
Technically not asmr but his voice is very soothing and he makes good political content
Unintentional stuff like Bob Ross, doctor's exams, crystal healing woo bullshit, or people making shoes in complete silence.
Mouth sounds make me want to put a fist through my monitor.
I hate mouth sounds so much. They're icky
I don't like ASMR and I should be allowed to kill anyone who pops their gum.
Why not?
It's irritating, especially considering how much of it is gross mouth noises. The closest to ASMR I'll go is a Chinese Youtuber than makes desserts. But that one is for the beauriful foods.
You can look up "no talking ASMR" to avoid that! There's even some unintentional ASMR channels that pull scenes from movies and shows that fit the ASMR bill.
Also please share channel of the Chinese YouTuber that makes deserts!
Thank you!!!!

scissor haircuts and spray bottles are big triggers. baba sen / cosmic barber thing was a good one, RIP.
also dig unintentional stuff, like the classic TM Lewin navy suit fitting and woo shit like mesmerism or really absurd chiropractic/energy healing. the kookier the better.
I'm convinced that the tingles are what gets people hooked on energy healing.

This one from sato ASMR is one of my favorites

When I first learned ASMR several years ago I was really confused that people had to listen to leaves crunching and shit to feel the sensation, because I’ve been able to do it manually since before I could remember. I know not everyone can do that. It’s a fun trick showing someone I can give myself goosebumps at will.
I don't do it too often but I love Heather Feather to pieces and miss her dearly. I usually don't listen to it for the tingling aspects of it but honestly someone just talking to me about something is deeply soothing
ASMR doesn't do anything for me, but this is my favorite ASMR video anyway.

i don't like treble, is there asmr that's only bass and mid?
Malcolm X is my ASMR.
I like cotton swab and ear pick type ASMR
I read this sentence and went "ew," so I suppose that's why I don't listen to ASMR.
they're ear cleaning tools and are usually used on high quality mics made for ASMR like the 3Dio, not real people.

okay that makes it better, I was imagining someone cleaning out their ears right next to a mic lmao
Isn't that great? You should look up hayang ASMR, HABO ASMR, sato ASMR, and cuppacat ASMR. They're great animated channels!spoiler
Now you can definitely find that type of ASMR, but most of it uses those expensive microphones I was talking about. The 3Dio is just a model, tascams, blue yeti, and other models too.
Latte ASMR is my fav
I haven't had much experience with ASMR. In fact - I think the last time I listened was ~5 years ago. I'm just not an ambient kind of guy. But this thread made me curious - maybe I'll listen to some vids for a minute or two and see if I change my mind.

Pommy has a soothing voice and is calm. It may sound wild, but I like the toothbrushing one. Purring too. Too bad she hasn't made many videos.
The sound of pop rocks is... interesting
"Visual" asmr is nice if you are into that, see e.g. deucel: cute cat paw headpats and face massage or ADHD cat girl touches your face and then gets eepy.
Want another weird thingy? FAKE knife sharpening
I do listen to... normal asmr, like Fauna
Oh that's amazing! I love head pats ASMR!
The weirdest ASMR I liked was just deleted, the owner of the channel wanted to move on from ASMR.
But it was cool, it was about a virus that infects ASMR mics and tries to take over the world. It was nice while it was around.

And if you don't watch ASMR, comment why you don't.
I just don't like it. 
agree to disagree I guess
