Quote :

Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR)
is a physical sensation characterized by a pleasurable tingling that
typically begins in the head and scalp, and often moves down the spine
and through the limbs.

Most ASMR episodes begin by an external or internal trigger, and are so divided for classification. Type A
episodes are elicited by the experiencer using no external stimuli, and
are typically achieved by specific thought patterns unique to the
individual. Type B episodes are triggered involuntarily by an
external trigger, via one or more senses, and may also involve specific
thought patterns associated with the triggering event. Both types of
triggers vary between individuals, but many are common to a large
portion of ASMR enjoyers.

Common external triggers:

• Exposure to slow, accented, or unique speech patterns
  
• Viewing educational or instructive videos or lectures
  
• Experiencing a high empathetic or sympathetic reaction to an event
  
• Enjoying a piece of art or music
  
• Watching another person complete a task, often in a diligent,
  attentive manner - examples would be filling out a form, writing a
  check, going through a purse or bag, inspecting an item closely, etc.
  
• Close, personal attention from another person
  
• Haircuts, or other touch from another on head or back

theres also a billion youtubes.


so
what do you guys think? do you get the feel?
some things piss me off like people unwrapping stuff if im trying to do something else, like in the fucking movies and you have all your god damn riesen chocolate chews and a fucking soda that is nothing but ice, and you keep shaking it like you are summoning more. guess what, its just a mouthful of water you fat fuck. go get some from the fountain outside.

but other times, crinkle noises are pretty nice.
i think its the silence most of all, interrupted gently with the soft noises.

I feel stuff like that all the time.

Wasn't aware there was a name for it though

I'm guessing it would all have to be based on how sensitive (in all aspects), a person was to begin with. And their ability to connect it with their mind.

I do alright in that department. Which most of the time, is a good thing.

i always felt kinda goofy about it. still do really. back when i was a kid i used to imagine stuff like drops of water on plants, and this voice that dripped with honey whispering, when i walked to school.

now the voice screams for me to kill.

so im glad there's other people, and glad you're one of em nettles!

Feelings mutual

This sounds a bit fetishy...BUT, I really like the sound of heels clicking on concrete.

Can't tell you why. I could listen to it for hours.

When I was younger, someone gave me a pair of those tap-shoes with the little metal bits in the heels. LOVED THEM!!!!

It's true. Clipety-clop, clipety-clop...

I don't really have the legs for it now, but I was also rather partial to my mother's sling-backs (at the risk of turning into an absolute cliche) in my 'yoot'.

I seem to have successfully managed to be a constant source of disappointment to my father - he just never got the 'clipety-clop' angle, unfortunately.

You get better every day round here

I get that sensation sometimes when listening to music - I never knew there was a proper name for it!

Since others seem in the mood for strange "confessions", I also used to get that feeling when I was younger from scratching my nails along certain types of fabric! And I'm not the only one! There was a discussion about it years ago on John Peel's "Home Truths" programme on Radio 4! Weird..!

LOL! I don't mind if people think it's a bit weird - cos it is a bit weird! Just a small example of my many and varied eccentricities!

I get those feelings when I give warnings to forum members
