  • Can you lose ASMR? Help me trigger it.
    G GavinWB

    That does help. I was actually able to have some degree of success yesterday. I found a few videos that triggered me, and I felt great. One thing I did notice is that it almost seemed like I had to be primed. Usually, it would take me at least 10 minutes to start feeling anything. I'll post the links to the videos that worked for me at the bottom. I spent a good portion of the day, at least a few hours, triggering my ASMR.

    However, is it possible to over trigger your ASMR, to the point that it won't work for a while? I've been trying to trigger it today and haven't had much success, to the point where once I found myself thinking "come on, work. This worked yesterday."

    This video is the one that absolutely had the greatest effect on me.


    This one felt really nice too. I admit, the roleplay portion made me feel a little awkward (though it seems like acts of service is what worked the best on me as a kid and teenager)

    And I also watched this one to try to find some triggers that might work. I didn't have much success until later in the video. The Starburst wrapper worked slightly. But, her scraping the plate as the second to last trigger in the video definitely gave me some tingles. What worked even better was the last trigger. When she was scraping the zylophone that felt really nice at times.

    I am so glad to finally have a name for this thing that has happened to me for my whole life, and I am so glad to be a part of this community. Until yesterday, I thought I was the only one, and I went my first 29 years of life thinking I was.

  • Can you lose ASMR? Help me trigger it.

    So, this thread is kind of bittersweet for me. For starters, it was just this morning that I found out this thing that has been happening to me for my entire life has a name, ASMR. It has also been probably about 6 months to a year since I have felt it.

    My story is probably a familiar one. As a kid certain noises would produce a soothing, warm, tingling feeling that would start in my head and travel down my back. But, it wasn't just noises. It was so easy to produce that feeling as a kid. All I had to do was imagine a bubble popping. It was usually a pink bubble, almost bubble gum like in appearance, except there was noone blowing it. Seeing that in my mind and imagining the sound was all it took. However, that method hasn't worked for me in probably about 20 years.

    Pretty much forever after that, what worked for me is scratching noises, soft speaking tones, whispers, and acts of service. I remember in my early teens there was this one pediatrician that I saw that her soft speaking voice and the general atmosphere gave me such a head high. Another common place would be the eye doctor. Usually a soft speaking eye doctor could trigger it. "Number 1, or number 2. Number 1, or number 2."

    I also used to have another different relationship with sound, at the same time as I had these positive ASMR reactions. The sound and vision of tearing paper or tearing cotton would make my skin crawl.

    I'm just trying to shed some insight, because I literally just found out today that there is a name for these things that have always happened to me in my 29 years of life, and they just barely happen any more. I miss it. I watched some ASMR videos, and it didn't have nearly as dramatic of an effect on me as these things used to. I did feel very relaxed, and I'm not sure if it's out of sheer will or a genuine response, but I did feel a extremely slight head high.

    So, can you lose your ASMR, and does anybody have any tips or pointers for me on how I might be able to trigger it again?
