TAL did a segment last week on ASMR [link]. At the end of it, I turned to J and said, "Wait, are you telling me you don't have that tingly sensation when someone whispers or speaks quietly in an accent? I thought everyone did."

I quickly go from nose-wrinkling itchiness to JESUS CHRIST IT'S A LION GET IN THE CAR.

I used to watch this woman do yoga videos. Priscilla something. It totally put me in a trance.

I think this sounds weird but a slight accent also brings on the ASMR thing for me. I had no idea it was a thing and i didnt even really get that it was a thing for me. The minute i heard her describe it, it was like a puzzle piece clicked together.

Anyway, I have a few female Korean clients (and a few other countries) and listening to them totally gives me that tingly feeling.

I like the murmuring but didn't get to the lip-smacking, for which I'm eternally grateful; gummy or "wet" voices give me the heebies, and any kind of fleshy mouth-sound that isn't a clearly articulated word is nigh intolerable. Words, fab; smacking meat against meat, brrrr.

No happy tingling, ever, though.

I listen to these meditation podcasts and she does not unnerve me at all.

would you all consider that ASMR-y?

I wanted to like shrift post.

"Wait, are you telling me you don't have that tingly sensation when someone whispers or speaks quietly in an accent? I thought everyone did."

For me, the sound of someone singing or chanting in a foreign language is far more likely to put me into a trance than just whispering. But that's not a thing, is it?

There's also a British woman named Tara Lee who does a pregnancy yoga video that I still listen to to fall asleep sometimes.

Now I understand the effect of the woman coming in to whisper "Big boys don't cry" in the middle of the 10cc song "I'm Not In Love."

This totally explains why I saw every episode of Bob Ross painting. So, how many Buffistas get that feeling? I am going to try using some of these youtube videos when going to sleep and see what that does.

I read about that a while ago! And I watched a video of a woman folding towels and talking about it, and...nothing. But I wanted to tear down a wall in the hallway so I could make a linen closet.

I can't remember a night that awful. Would Not Stop.

I had one of those recently. At my brother's and with a full house. I just couldn't stop the terrors or calm down. It was awful and it would not stop. The only small blessing is that I did have a door to my room and was freaking the fuck out and panicking in private. It was horrid. I got through the next morning through sheer will.

I quickly go from nose-wrinkling itchiness to JESUS CHRIST IT'S A LION GET IN THE CAR.

Okay, I watched the beginning of the video of the woman TOUCHING THE CAMERA, and I pretty much had this reaction.

Bob Ross is nice, though.
