A Caring Friend [ ASMR ]

I heard you might not be doing so well, so I stop by with some of your favorite ASMR triggers to help you to relax, sleep and most importantly, to enjoy the tingles and feel better.
This is my first 60fps video and I don't know if there's really much of a difference, but feel free to let me know what you think. I may just start doing them in this format "just because"...
Monthly shout-out to patrons at the end credits.
All my best,

What is ASMR?
ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and is the current (non-scientific) name given to the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering and personal attention.
ASMR videos are not only meant to help induce ASMR or "tingles", but also help provide a relaxing, calming and soothing experience for the viewer while helping to relieve their anxiety, stress, insomnia, to help those suffering with PTSD or depression, to serve as a study aid and more.

[@remyblas]

Now I'm imagining a bunch of ASMR content creators getting together for a meet & greet and talking to each other in whispers, tapping everything they touch, etc XD

That awkward moment where a KZbinr is a better friend than your actual friends. Edit: Six years later and I'm actually damn good at making friends. Sometimes the place you live is just filled with the wrong people. Been watching since 14 and I'm nearly 23 now. Just a cool dude

[@VyletPony]

There is something about Rift that goes beyond ASMR. Art, creativity, symbolism, and story seem to really flow smoothly into the videos. With that in mind, he is the only ASMRtist I can legitimately give 5 full stars to.

[@BeatProjekt]

Hey Ephemeral Rift, I have been a subscriber of yours for a couple of years now, but have never commented on any of your videos; not because I do not appreciate your videos as much as other ASMRists out there, but because I generally just do not really comment on videos at all. I just wanted to take the time to say that I really appreciated how straight-up you were in this video, from beginning to end. What I mean to say by that is how you acknowledged that you know that you may not be able to be that kind of friend in real life that [we] probably need, but you wanted [us] to know that you still wish [us] all your best and that [we] have your support, and that you care about [us] and all the viewers and subscribers who have it hard. I thought it added a deeper sense of realness to this video that other Rift World videos lack (not to say they lack in the ASMR trigger department, because they definitely do not). I do not know how else to explain it other than it felt like you were actually talking to me, the user behind my account, and it did not just feel like watching a video on KZbin. I got my ASMR triggers that I came for, but I also got something more deep and profound that I did not expect I would get while clicking on this video. So I would like to thank you for the amazing and consistent material you keep uploading, and to thank you for your support and thoughts for your viewers and subscribers, because it really shows that you have great consideration for your fanbase. From someone who is actually not doing so well recently, this video was exactly what I needed.

[@StillNoPickles69]

BeatProjekt No response lmao

[@StillNoPickles69]

Bob Ross on Acid fuck your life indeed

[@kirbbyfanrocks]

[@4evercath]

I don't think Rift needs to respond to show him care about his fans. He already did by making tons of videos dedicating hundreds hours of his own private time. And I don't think BeatProjekt posted to beg for attention. Both of them sound much more mature than these following comments here because their main purpose was to show appreciation and help for others, not asking things for themselves. Please at least learn from their mature attitude and perspective when you watch this precious yet free given video. You will be happier and grow more in life when you can see the greatness in people and learn from them :)

[@runawayfromtoads674]

This video takes me back. I watched this ASMR on repeat during a toxic relationship. I even downloaded this because of how much I depended on it while I cried in campus, hoping to sleep off the pain. I wished to have someone care for me, notice that I was hurt, and reach out and ask if I was okay. I just wanted someone to acknowledge I was hurting and that I existed. It's been 4 years since and I am in a better place. I only remembered this video while cleaning my playlists. I find it bittersweet that I no longer look for this video when things go south. But thank you for this E.R. I felt like I had a friend who acknowledged I was hurt. For anyone who reads this, things can be shit right now. Or, maybe it's been a while since something happened but you're still hurt. It will suck for a while. Allow yourself to cry and hang on. It may be long and bleak till then, but everything will pass. ------- (Edit: It's been years. I couldnt find the words then. But I was being isolated where I get silent treatment when people check up on me or when I was obviously upset. ASMR (this primarily and many others) helped me feel less alone; I didn't have to suck up my pain and I felt worthy of being comforted. Until later on, I didn't have to be scared of showing to people I was not ok. If anyone was in a similar situation, please know you deserve to be asked if you are okay. You deserve concern and love. If your loved one is isolating you to deprive you of that from people, they don't love you. It doesn't seem like it, but you have that strength. Take care of yourself slowly - and with it, build the strength to find the ones that truly love you and who wishes to hear your pain out. You may forget it, but you are worthy of people who ask if you are okay.)

I've never considered not getting enough rest/sleep as a seperation anxiety. Even as severe as that. 😬 I lost my mom at an early age (14) and fast forward, I had married and divorced over 5+yrs ago.

[@destinymartin1183]

I understand that, but it's the truth spoken, and either way it won't matter. But you are still pointing it out, and if they read this comment section, it will only be more leverage to troll. It wasn't really being played out until now. But yes, I understand where you are coming from.

[@OneVoiceOfReason]

this video makes me feel so calm.... yet so cold when i wake up and look back and realize this was just a video on the internet. more friends like you need to exist outside of cyberspace, but the barrier of distance and reality generally prevents that. Though i will thank you for showing me a snapshot of what it would be like to live in a better life. It is a wishful fantasy.

[@EphemeralRift]

+One Voice Of Reason It is hard to find meaningful relationships and good trust worthy friends. Especially if they are introverted ;) Just gotta keep putting ourselves out there. 7 billion people on the planet. ;)

[@OneVoiceOfReason]

Ephemeral Rift and yet sifting through the 7 billion to find the few people i could have a meaningful friendship/relationship with is like searching through a haystack to find the golden needle, at the same time brass needles charged with 10,000 volts are scattered among them meaning if you find them and it turns out to be wrong, they will hurt you in the end and force you to move on.

[@scarfacefan5]

Dear mr. Rift, I apologize with the formalities but you have changed my life in profound ways. Before your videos I always struggled with not knowing these feelings that I get. From certain sounds. But your videos have opened my eyes to ASMR and now I have a term to put my feelings into clarification. I thank you so much for everything you have done. Your videos have helped me sleep better, relax, my anxiety levels are down and my depression isn't as severe. Please never stop what you do. Because it changes lives. It certainly changed mine. I've had these feelings all my life and now that I know it is, it changed my world. You are fantastic.

I cried when I watched this video just now :( I'm sorry for such a late message, I know you won't see this, but I'm really concerned about my best mate Jonathan (he's like a brother to me) I don't know if I'm just overreacting and I'm worrying about nothing (I hope so) but he doesn't seem to be himself. For example, when I was with him on Friday he seemed really distant and shut off, I just hope everything's okay, I don't know what I'd do if I lost him, he's one of the only people who understands me, I feel I can tell him anything and everything without him judging me and no matter what happens, I just hope he knows I'm always here for him if he ever wants to talk, I'm always here if he needs someone to listen, I'm always here if he needs a shoulder to cry on, I'm always here if he doesn't know who to turn to or where to go, I'm always here when he's in need of a friend, someone to tell him he's doing great even if he don't feel/think he is, someone who'll be beside him every step of the way and I'm always here when he feels alone but most importantly, I'm always here when he needs me most, no matter what time it is. He's been there with me through some pretty bad times, such as when I got rushed to hospital twice I two days (1st day because of agonising pain in my right hip down and inability to move my right leg or foot/toes and the day after because I fell headfirst down 12 concrete steps at college).

I had an idea for a character that I thought you could pull off, and that I haven't really seen done yet. Basically it's someone who knows nothing.... they could have amnesia or they could be a clone, but the basic concept is that they are trying to learn about their surroundings through touch and sight. They could either be silent or speak in grunts or even try to sound out rough simple words, but the main theme would be "curiosity". I got the idea years ago, before I knew what ASMR was, from watching the "Oh there you are Peter" scene from Hook.

Ive been listening to you for many years. I love everything you do for this community. You have been and always will be my favorite asmrtist. You have helped me through years of anxiety. Thank you so much.

[@oliviamarie5285]

I'd like to request you do a whole video of just what you did with the journal. The soft speaking, running your finger over the page in circles, flipping some pages, and scratching it. It was the best part of this video and I hope you'll consider dedicating a small video to it!

[@Dinglebarriez]

What did you go through man? How do you understand this so well? This brought me to tears. I didn't expect it at all. You have to tell me. Because I've been so fucked up lately and this feels like one of the most genuine things I've ever heard.

[@ALonelyLight4269]

You still don't disappoint from the past. I needed this. Thank you for makin this 8 years ago

[@noretus]

Had a really rough time the past few days, this really hit the spot. Not too intrusive, very genuine.

[@khaldrogo1656]

You and Gentlewhispering are the King and Queen of ASMR

[@arcxcc]

Gentle sucks

[@arcxcc]

***** well my favorite is CarolineASMR. but that's my opinion. but if hes going by most subscribed female and male then it would be gentle and massageASMR

[@keldonworley2570]

I think the case makes good sounds.

[@KingSilk33]

What did I say earlier?....tell me what I said earlier.......I said it's going to be OK

[@keldonworley2570]

+Daniel James Okay. Okay Alright. Okay. Okay. It's going to be okay. This video is for you. It's for you.

[@Sam-sp3nc]

That you were having trouble going to sleep

[@mem4701]

The hand tracing was surprisingly effective. I've had a hard time with asmr lately, it hasn't been relaxing me like it used to. But this video is definitely what I needed. Thank you so much 😇

[@alexastoffer1038]

I love how personal this video is. You really helped me get my mind off my sister leaving for college in a few days. You made me feel happier in general and less depressed about the whole going away situation. So I just wanted to thank you for this amazing touching video💜

[@LordFlaggy]

HOLY SHIT THERE WAS A KZbin AD ABOUT ASMR BEOFRE THIS VIDEO FINALLY THE REVOLUTION HAS BEGUN

[@anthonylilo5267]

this helps me because I'm sick and I love that you care about us you're like a dad to me I love you dad thanks for helping me through my sickness 😏

[@suvtropics]

Lollllll. He helps me relax a lot too. He's like a fellow engineer to me.

[@scoutclapscheeks2203]

+Total Station He does strike me as an engineer, is that his profession?

[@manny_1056]

[@MrConnorhamilton]

what?

[@cheereomate]

I just found this ASMR stuff yesterday and this is amazing. I'm hooked. It's hard to explain... The closest explanation is it is like having a personal masseuse when you're ready to unwind, relax and fall asleep. I like this guy's the best! Sweet dreams!

[@QuinnyCheeks]

First of I'm becoming a Patron because these videos help me so much , and I just feel like you so genuinely care that these videos help people with anxiety and PTSD etc And that means so much ! I really like the 60fps it feels very realistic like you could be sitting g in my living room clapping paper cups together . Also I could watch 10 hours of paper cups and still get tingles ! This was Amazing and needed more than you could ever know THANK YOU !!!!

[@33ro0]

60fps videos rock! If it just isn't too much, I'd personally love to see all of your future videos in 60fps. If someone disagrees with me... Well, you know ;)

[@EphemeralRift]

33ro0 I already plan on it.

[@33ro0]

Ephemeral Rift Awesome to hear that you too actually care about it too. I would tip my hat to you if I had one.

[@klasbee]

33ro0 Mirrors Edge.

[@33ro0]

***** Yep :) Faith rocks

[@Excalibur2]

33ro0 hey, since it sounds like you can tell the difference between 30 and 60, perhaps you'll be able to answer this, can mobile phones display 60fps? Because I personally can't seem to tell the difference.

[@WaskaSwansea]

imagine you are doing all these things but the camera wasn't recording

[@EphemeralRift]

It's happened!

[@WaskaSwansea]

@@EphemeralRift oof i would be pretty confused with myself

[@tylerglowacki7865]

I’ve been watching ER for 3 years now and I quite literally watch this when I’m really down

[@alexandersuliman5513]

Long term subscriber on a friends account. Looks incredible! The 60 frames makes it more high def and smoother in my opinion. Thank you for being the best innovator in the field and I appreciate the tingles!

[@MoreNimrod]

I've been a bit depressed lately, so I needed this. Thank you, uncle E. I always like the 'caring friend' type videos. I think it's the genuine concern and friendliness that the artist conveys, and the feeling of personal attention. That's also why I like the kind of 'flea picking' motions you did. I'm normally not a fan of beer, but I got to try out a chocolate beer at my friends place (they're experts when it comes to types of beer) and it was pretty great. A hint of cocoa in it, with a bit bitter aftertaste. Also I love the idea of the ASMbaRbecue. If it's sometime next year I could be there, even, as I'm moving to the US but it'll take a few months before my visa is approved, and well, then it'll be winter which isn't great barbecuing weather anymore. I'd love to try my hand at making an ASMR or relaxing video, but not sure I have something good to offer, or the right equipment to record it properly. Maybe that'll come in the future. For now I just get to enjoy what you and others make, and I'm okay with that. Again, thank you for this video.

[@Ellievibes10]

I'm not even 12 minutes in and I've cried three separate times. It seems silly but I really needed to hear what you had to say in order to let it out. I didn't even realise I needed to, but I've not cried in quite a while so I must've been overdue. Haha. I thought it was going to be a role-play. I'm starting a new job later on today but I'm having trouble sleeping so I've been searching for the "right" ASMR video for a fair few hours now. This video did nothing for me ASMR-wise like it usually would, but it didn't matter. Maybe I just needed to hear the words. I'm going through quite a bit lately, having to deal with other people's problems and constantly relied on for support but receiving very little back. I finally cracked yesterday and exploded at my other half, swearing and shouting about all the problems I have. It was totally out the blue and not fair on him at all, but he dealt with it the way he usually does, sat there quiet and told me he didn't know what to do in order to help, so I feel like nothing got fixed or made better. I really appreciate the time you took to make this and how honest you came across. A few things you said made me giggle and smile, and I particularly enjoyed the beard-stroking, as always. Please keep up the good work, as you're the most down-to-earth ASMR artist out there, with the most open and unconditonal connection with your audience. Your videos aren't filled with asking us to like and subscribe, or requesting we pay money to some account. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being your vibrant and unique self.

[@Schlegs]

I am currently in the middle of a mild anxiety attack and want to thank you so much for this video. Your asmr was the only thing that allowed me to even complete this comment. You are so important to a great many people. What you are doing here is amazing.

[@housefiremedia7887]

I was having quite a bit of anxiety from some stress of being in the film industry, but I've always had a hard time finding videos that relaxed me to a point at which it hit home -- this one seriously helped me out. During the Reiki I could seriously feel the tension going away. Fantastic work my friend. Keep it up.

[@kellyjohnson6865]

I didn't even know I needed this. I just cried. It felt good to get it out. Thanks.

[@titani1k]

I'll admit, when I first started watching ASMR videos, I thought people like you were super weird and couldn't take any of them seriously. Now I love them and think it's awesome how creative you folks can be. I've seen some of your plot-driven videos with Professor Clemens and I think it's great. Keep doing what you do, bud. :)

[@dandm20]

You are so genuine. So glad I found your videos. You're fantastic. I really needed this at this moment. Thank you.

[@louiedale7347]

i really appreciate this video, i keep coming back to it thank you for making such a sincere and calm video

[@IKaros_Hunter]

This might be a bit different than other comments but you really helped me during a bad shroom trip lol keep up the great content

[@izrealquintana1903]

lol

[@jd8527]

I like How Uncle E makes each video like a movie. He puts real time and effort into this. Thank you Ephemeral Rift

[@chunli99]

Your videos are incredibly helpful, and they always seem to come at just the right time. Thank you.

[@fangsclaws]

I always move to the paper cups part. paper cups. paper cups. paper cups.

[@kevin0147]

Idk why but 60fps videos always look like they're fast forwarding to me. Amazing video nonetheless! Loved the hand movements

[@elcabbage2306]

Someone who agrees! It looks jerky and odd to me :/ wie ist Englisch so unheimlich?

[@IronDragon1337]

Real life is Infinity FPS. As a matter of fact, real life doesn't even have frames. It has sub-atomic instances.

[@jamman054]

I'm feel the same way! I thought I was the only one but this makes me happy to know that I'm not the only one

[@Knight_Kin]

Kevin Versteegen Well because you grew up with VHS tapes playing movies at 24fps.

[@MrAntoinehubert]

Kevin Versteegen Thats because the most natural fps for the eye is 24 (movies are 24 fps) it's not true that 60 fps is the most accurate ''real life movement'', you don't see blur if he moves his hands fast with 60fps, while if you try in real life, you do see blur. I don't get the hype over 60fps, it just isn't natural. Sorry for the bad explanation I didn't want to get to long or uninteresting hahah

[@mellowjazz1799]

I was having a rough night, and while listening to this, I broke down crying. Thank you for the encouraging words and attention.

[@aspenlawrence835]

I massively appreciate this ER, you have no idea how much this helps with lonely/suicidal thoughts. Thank you so so much

[@JSinfiniti]

Sucks when you know that you'll never talk to your "friends" unless you text them first, or that your family only calls when they need money.

[@ItsTheLondonFella]

Or they wanna play your PS4 ...

[@Emily-dh5zg]

wish i had a caring friend in real life

[@CitiesForYou]

I can't stress enough just how much I enjoy your work. All of your videos are so relaxing and calm. The amount of creativity and variety among your work is also something that will always have me coming back. ~Have a good one.

[@ShittyGirlGamer]

I had to put my cat down today, came home to this, just what I needed, cried a bit while watching but thank you ER you are truly and amazing human being. A pure, amazing soul, also into all my fandoms/music as well. So thank you.

[@EphemeralRift]

ShittyGirlGamer Sorry to hear about the cat :( My folks had to do the same with their dog of like 14 years a couple months back. Hope you're feeling a bit better! And thanks for the kind words.

[@temporaryhandle802]

Man, you should do a parody of this called 'a caring fiend sometime.

[@Dkplayesvideogames]

I need some sleep because I have a sore throat, fever, and stuffed nose right now. Thought this was the perfect video for the occasion.

[@theta_clips]

Dylan The Strange R.I.P my man Dylan

[@lightprocessor]

ER, please make more of these. As someone who breaks down occasionally and usually has nobody to go to when it happens, it really helps to self-council with these. Thanks.

[@GBA1390]

This is a fantastic video. I was honestly expecting it to be part of the wonderful lore you've created, and be filled with 'advise', but it's genuine Rift! Thank you!!

[@jack1947711]

Perfect timing while eating chicken. :P

[@destinymartin1183]

With ranch dressing? I know it sounds gross, but I love it! >:3

[@RespectedMolotov]

I am currently dining on a sausage egg and cheese croissant sandwich. Delightful.

[@Doxo1999]

JackGhost115 you should do more ASMR

[@jack1947711]

Noah Fraser Good idea. I was thinking of doing another one.

[@Doxo1999]

I really enjoyed the first one, and I was kinda sad when I saw your channel wasn't an asmr channel JackGhost115

[@kyle79011]

How ever you come up with these ideas keep doing it,would like to see another repairman in the not to distant future

[@stolasgoetia93]

Honestly I do not always experience ASMR but the gentle talking or whispering, and a lot of the sounds do help me to fall asleep.

[@Kenkittie]

Man, you’re being a caring friend, you’re giving me tingles, AND you’re feeding me? *cries in gratitude*

I constantly come back to this video, I find almost all the time that I come to this specific one. I don't understand why this asmr but this one is the best one I have heard. Thank you mr. Rift and please keep up the excellent work.

[@theconservativealternative8165]

This is the true definition of what this is supposed to be. Nothing sexualized for views. It’s just pure and easy shit. Thank you.
