That was me

Anyway... i don't seem to get ASMR from watching a video of something done meticulous... I only seem to get it from certain songs, sounds and i can also induce it myself... but that's weaker than when it's induced by an external factor. But the longer i induce it myself, the more powerful it gets.

I haven't really tried it with whispering, but maybe that would work too... i have some blurry memories like that... but i doubt that a video would do it for me. I guess it would work out if that whispering would be in real life. Maybe even the meticulous activities would affect me in real life.

Read my latest DJ entry, i tried it yesterday
Althrough i didn't describe it too much, so if you want to ask something about it, just feel free to

Of course I knew it was you, I just don't like calling people out like that when making a new thread, since it'll be stuck in the forums for years for other people to see later on.

As for the whispering, I think I should look up on that, I think Wolfwood likes the thought of someone whispering, even if he doesn't know what they're saying (correct me if I'm wrong Wolfwood).

But again, with what Marvo said with Frisson, it could be just that instead.

Yep - I don't have to understand the words. I think the common underlying aspect in most triggers is that you're absorbed or concentrating on what's going on. It is difficult to separate the two in description.... until you feel it, then it's obvious. ^_^

Watching someone do something meticulous, having my hair cut, and women whispering does it to me.




She sums up the difference between ASMR and Frisson....in an ASMR-triggering way. ^_^ And yeah, mirror-touch synaesthesia is related to ASMR as it allows what you observe to be felt on yourself, e.g., massages, haircuts, make-up application etc in videos.
