ASMR Pajama Ramble #3 | Social Media Addiction

[@ASMRctica]

Old Cell Phone Buttons Sounds + Gameplay : 31:13

[@trite1]

I have ADHD, and scrolling on various social media websites is so stimulating to me, at a dangerous cost. I'll spend hours upon hours looking at stuff, all interesting to me usually. I get lots of ideas for art, designs, game ideas, fashion, etc. But time flies by so fast and I hate that I'm not actually pursuing the projects I desperately want to start. I'm constantly trying to surround myself with videos or stuff to make myself feel like lonely but its not a healthy way to accept myself. Every day I say "ok today im not going to spend much time on my phone" and i end up blowing it. I'm waiting for a new psychiatrist so I can get different meds to help myself maybe but really I just need to stop and control my impulses.

[@tehamill1]

Trite Lord hang in there! I also have ADHD and I totally know how you feel! It's super difficult, but try not to be too hard on yourself! Sometimes the guilt can be just as derailing as the distractions themselves, but remember it's not your fault that you have ADHD!! I really recommend "Taking Control: the ADHD Podcast" it's super uplifting and it has a lot of great advice about dealing with tech stuff and how to cope with ADHD in general. Best of luck with everything! Idk if you're a believing person but I'll pray for you. :)

[@ASMRctica]

+Trite Lord Thank you so much for sharing! Very interesting to read about your experience with ADHD. Can relate a lot to what you say about having a lot of ideas, not pursuing the projects, surrounding myself with inspiring stuff. Even though im inspired at start, it often ends up feeling pointless, see no meaning to go on with the project. Its so strange, because I guess almost every person's projects they put their heart in can be either meaningful or meaningless, just depends on how you look at it yourself. I think we need to be patient and let things take time. eventually time and feelings are ready for what we want to do. but it can sure be a painful process. once again, thanks for sharing your thoughts. im sure it can help others. it helps me. Take care, and be well :)

[@trite1]

ASMRctica thank you so much for sharing your story, and your kind words. I’m happy to say ive started drawing again, and haven’t been glued to a screen for a couple days now. I’m a huge fan of your videos, you bring me a lot of peace.

[@trite1]

tehamill1 thank you, I’ll try to remember to check it out :)

[@IvanSN]

Trite Lord I'm really proud of you.

[@IvanSN]

You're absolutely one of my favorite ASMRtists. You're so genuine and gentle and it's lovely.

[@ASMRctica]

+Ivan Thanks for your support! It's so great to hear your kind words. And I'm so glad you enjoy my videos :)

[@ashsara9233]

Ivan isn’t he???? Hes am amazing artist. A true gentle soul x

[@IvanSN]

Ash Sara Very comfy c:

[@jaffacakes7557]

dont ever change your asmr right now is perfection. its literally the highlight of my week

[@ASMRctica]

+Jaffa Cake Wow I'm so glad to hear that! I don't find the words. Just Thank you

[@paulinasck6921]

Really love this more personal series, I am currently struggling with anxiety myself and it helps so much to hear from others.

[@ASMRctica]

+Paulina Scheck Thanks for sharing, It's so great to hear that my videos can be of any help

[@cvbabc]

For forty years it seemed like I was the only person who got ASMR. There was no way to explain it properly to anyone else. KZbin (internet/social media) cured that minor anxiety in me instantly. That's one little example of the transformative nature of the internet.

[@RyelSteele]

I've only just begun to watch and listen to your videos but I've been a subscriber since gaslamp asmr recommended you. I've just got to say, going through some similar problems myself with depression, anxiety and social anxiety, I completely understand. I am glad you are getting a lot of encouragement and help through these ramble videos. I've seen a few of your videos and I just know you deserve a good life. You have a good heart, I can tell. Thanks for being open about your difficulties and I think I speak for everyone when I say that we wait eagerly for more of your videos.

[@ASMRctica]

+Kyle Nicholas Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! yes talking is therapy I guess. putting words on what you feel and thoughts that you cant get rid of. And I guess it can be easier to talk to someone you dont know too well / not have known for a very long time ( relatives, partners old friends etc). So thank you so much for listening, and im so glad you enjoy my videos. i have so many videos i would like to share with you at the moment, just be a little bit patient, it can take some time to get them ready, but there will sure be more videos :) be well.

[@flint5283]

I have slept like a log these past months, thanks to your videos. Keep up the excellent work :D Hälsningar från Finland!

[@ASMRctica]

+Flint So glad to hear that! thanks for watching, Sleep well :)

[@Сайден]

Even though I (sadly) don't experience ASMR and don't get those tingles that everyone's talking about, I still absolutely love your videos. For some reason they just make me feel happy :D. Thank you so much for the fantastic work that you're doing! Keep it up

[@DrumCoversFromHell]

Денис Саенко maybe you haven't found a trigger.

[@ASMRctica]

+Денис Саенко Well that's so great to hear! That you enjoy my videos nevertheless, and that they make you feel happy. The best compliment one can get. Thank you so much for your support!

[@lizstjohn01]

Thanks for sharing so many of your thoughts with us 💓 You're a great person and a great ASMRtist!

[@alvarovidal8402]

Hey, we really want more "pijama videos". They are sooooo relaxing :)

[@ASMRctica]

+Alvaro Vidal Im so glad to hear that! Thanks! maybe there will be more videos like this, if I feel I need to ramble some more about some topic in the future :)

[@ashsara9233]

Am gonna have to watch again because I fell asleep just minutes into this. You are an amazing ASMRtist because you are natural. I personally don’t believe social media brings us together but divides us. It depresses us and leads us to believe we are not good enough. I frequently have to have time away from it every few months. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting yourself out here so that we can get our tingles from you. 😚

[@ASMRctica]

+Ash Sara Thanks for the compliments! Sounds like a good idea to have time away from it sometimes. The thing that scares me about it is that its so addictive!

[@artcarbuncle9959]

Great video. What you say is so true. The best asmr is real life. My first experiences of asmr ( before I knew what it was) were , in the doctors surgery as a child. When the doctor would write out a prescription and it was silent, I would get super intense tingles, that I have never matched by watching videos. That said, your videos always manage to give me tingles. I hope you keep up the great work :)

[@ASMRctica]

+Dean Loftus I'm so glad to hear that! Thanks for sharing! I've discovered that ASMR could be induced at least partly intentional. If you concentrate - try to observe the surroundings in another way. Change your approach. For example, I'm often feeling anxious and uncomfortable around people. But I can turn that feeling to something good sometimes - starting to focus on just the sounds I hear. Like going into some kind of meditative state. Force myself to not be scared, because there's no reason to it actually. And let myself be able to find ASMR triggers instead of trying to escape. Sometimes it actually works! And I think this kind of "training" can help people (like me) that often feel social anxiety around people. Again thanks for your support - take care :)

[@artcarbuncle9959]

Thanks for the reply :) This is really interesting to me. I also suffer with some anxiety and I find watching videos like yours to be very helpful in dealing with it, although I had never ( until now ) considered trying to intentionally induce asmr in an anxious social situation. I will definitely be trying this. Thanks again. P.s , can't wait to watch the latest video :)

[@spookylealoo25]

Thank you so much for this video. Not only was it relaxing to listen to, but it really resonated with me. I would love to go back to a standard mobile phone and wean myself off of social media. It destroys my creativity and steals hours of my day. It also has made my anxiety worse than ever - it was so good to hear I’m not the only one that feels this way. You have inspired me to make a change! -x-

[@EmeraldSeries1]

Such a great voice you have! ur friends must be lucky, they hear a voice like that everyday

[@Timeaugir]

Thanks for the last few videos. It’s been a dealing with a lot of real serious things. Good work!

[@ASMRctica]

+Perpendicular Watermelon LOVE your username and thumbnail avatar, lol. Thanks for letting me see that :D i'm also glad you appreciate these latest videos. Thanks for watching, and for your support :)

[@novaburd74]

I think it was really brave of you to make these videos, especially such personal topics..thank you for doing so, as personally I relate to so much of what you've talked about! Also agree with a lot of what you're saying about social media & technology. The positives of it for me are just this kind of thing..connecting (albeit virtually) with other people who have the same experiences and anxieties as I do, it makes me feel better to know it's not just me who feels that way :-) Thanks so much for sharing!

[@ASMRctica]

+novaburd74 You truly have a point there. Thanks for sharing. Social Media can be amazing to connect with people, find people all over the world. You who watch my videos are from 110 (!) countries, and that's so unbelievable crazy. it's you who make this channel what it is. It's so great to get to know you all. Wouldnt be possible to find you without social media. Thanks for your support :D

[@KarmaRocket2]

I have loved this series I am a huge fan of your rant talking type videos so this has been fantastic!!!!

[@ASMRctica]

+Noah _ Thank you so much Noah, I really appreciate to hear that :) Guess I'm starting to feel a bit more comfortable talking/rambling then I used to, so maybe there will be more like this in the future, who knows :)

[@griseusasmr]

And this video comes out the same day I've realized how much time I've spent on social media for the past 6 years. It's difficult to decide whether the positive things are good enough to maintain those social media. I think right now we are starting to notice how harmful they can be. These latest videos are very interesting, keep it up.

[@ASMRctica]

+Griseus A.S.M.R. Thanks for your comment about the importance of getting out in the sunlight and exercise. It really helped me. Strangely enough, it's so easy to forget these things sometimes.. Yea there are of course a lot of positive things with social media. But it takes some confidence and determination though to use it only as much as you want to. Thats really difficult I think, especially when youre feeling low. Thanks for your support! btw really enjoyed your latest pencil drawing videos, those two with the map. I was very inspired by those when I recorded my latest map drawing video, which will come up on this channel soon :)

[@EggZema_]

I really enjoy the part from 28:40 / its almost like a guided meditation for me. I really imagining myself in a forest being an animal :) Have you think about doing a long video like this? Your pacing and voice is perfect for this and very sleepy!

[@mstartine13]

Love when you ramble. So soothing. Thank you.

[@ASMRctica]

+mstartine13 I'm glad you say that! Thank you!

[@stephenl5416]

I have been dealing with such crippling depression that It takes everything I have to leave my house in the morning. I just wish I could be normal. Anyway, I love your videos and I love that I can put it on when I leave in the morning so I feel like someone who understands is with me.

[@TheLogics17]

Chief LoRusso Try Marijuana. It could really help you not give a damn. Speaking through experience.

[@stephenl5416]

Yah I need to get my med Mar card. Weed seriously does make me make better choices and see things for what they truly are.

[@ASMRctica]

+Chief LoRusso Thank you for sharing, It's so great to hear that my videos help you in situations like this! It means so much to me to hear that from you. I guess it's important to not forget to try to do things when it feels you're (at least almost) able to do them, - take the opportunity just when it feels a little better. Because, at least for me, it goes up and down all the time - even when it's mostly down. For example - I decided to reply to some comments just now - because I suddenly felt I could :) Take care, hope you have a great day!

[@Hoyeaaaaaaah]

I always get tingles right away

[@ASMRctica]

+bri I'm so glad to hear that! Thanks!

[@MrSunnyset]

I admire your honesty and trust in your self. It makes us feel very secure and relaxed. Your voice is so perfect for asmr. Thank you!

[@ASMRctica]

+MrSunnyset Thank you so much for your support! So glad to hear that you find it relaxing! The best compliment you can get after have tried to be just honest :)

[@DeathByWafflez]

I am absolutely loving all these uploads, thank you! I also understand your anxiety about social media, I mostly avoid facebook except to talk to close friends. If it's best for you to avoid it, then that is what you should do :)

[@ASMRctica]

+DeathByWafflez Thanks for showing your support! I'm so glad to hear you enjoy these videos! I felt I just needed to talk about it, share my thoughts I guess. Been thinking about it a lot lately, and now it already feels much better! So thanks for being such a good listener :)

[@mitchelltopolinsky164]

I’m loving these types of videos!

[@ASMRctica]

+Mitchell Topolinsky im very glad to hear that! thanks for your support :)

[@tehamill1]

Thanks so much for the video! You're videos really help me sleep and relax!

[@ASMRctica]

+tehamill1 I'm so glad you say that! Thanks for watching, Sleep well :)

[@smithensss]

Said it before but you’re the best ASMR Artist on KZbin. Literally everything you touch turns to gold. I never thought I could be so into the kind of ASMR scenarios you present but here I am watching a dude lay in bed and I love it. Hahahaa. Well done on another top video sir, from your fan in Manchester England.

[@ASMRctica]

+Super Smithens wow, thats such a nice compliment! Thank you so much for your support, and Im so glad you enjoy my videos!

[@Draig_ASMR]

Again, another great, relaxing video! On such an interesting topic personally for me it's the opposite without social media i would be lonely as a lot of my friends live elsewhere in the world

[@ASMRctica]

+Callum Davies Thanks! So glad to hear you like these videos :) Yea, it makes it possible to connect to so many people, which is great of course. I'm so glad to have found all of you who are watching my videos :D

[@luezz1426]

Oh man. You are the best. Good night at everyone. But realtalk, the ASMR KZbinr are good. But this Guy right here, is the best. I wanna say thanks. Good night. We al Love your Videos.

[@ASMRctica]

+Lu eZz Thank you so much for these kind supportive words! So glad to hear you enjoy my videos! Sleep well :)

+Xeno Glad you say that! Thanks for watching!

[@Cherryifeelsospecial]

This is unbelievably relaxing

[@ASMRctica]

+Scottish Mapper wow Thanks for the compliment, so glad to hear you like this one! More ramble videos coming up 😊

[@kennymiller5408]

One word is needed for this video amazing

[@ASMRctica]

+Kenny Miller So glad you like it! Thanks!

[@ashsara9233]

I would love one of these videos talking about how Christmas is celebrated in Sweden when you were growing up and now.

[@ASMRctica]

+Ash Sara Great idea, maybe a Christmas ramble would be nice to record some day. I think this day, Dec 24th is the Most Boring Day of the year, sorry to say that, but it’s true. Exactly the same procedure each year, and no excuses to escape accepted 😂 But the days around can be nice though. have a great holiday!

[@wellbeingasmr1057]

Good for you, I think it's great that you can look objectively at the situation and you've decided not to be pulled into owning an incredibly addicting device. I feel the same about social media. Deactivating my Facebook was the best thing I ever did to clear my mind. It can become so consuming. Thanks for sharing this ramble. I can really relate to these topics.

[@ASMRctica]

+Wellbeing ASMR and relaxation Thanks for sharing! Talking about time consuming Social Media.. I notice that I very quickly became really addicted to my tablet and KZbin app since I got back to upload videos a couple of months ago. Guess I'll have to find a good balance. Mustn't forget about my other interests too :D

[@wellbeingasmr1057]

ASMRctica very true. It's definitely about finding the right balance but that's not always easy to do especially with so many different devices & app to get engrossed in!

[@MonsieurDenysbel]

I really liked your voice in this video!!✨ Thank you ✨

[@milywaffle8199]

I love it!! ❤

[@gavinhopkins9948]

[@zebreprincess777]

Love you videos! Thank you so much!

[@ASMRctica]

+Jordan Iglesias Thanks for watching :)

[@jlunnon2081]

your voice is absolutely sublime. love and appreciate everything that you do but pleeeeease mix in some more of these pure rambling videos.

[@ASMRctica]

+J Lunnon Thanks! If I find something more to talk about, I will :) Great to hear you enjoy these videos, thanks for watching!

[@nolan122]

I think the outdoor videos are my favorite still. Something about the light wind sound is the best

[@ASMRctica]

+Nolan Thanks, I'm so glad to hear that! There'll be many more outdoor videos coming up!

[@BryneGaming]

Loving the videos!

[@ASMRctica]

+BryneGaming Thanks! So glad you enjoy these videos as well :)

[@westernoutdoors7736]

I don’t know if you already have another map video planned, but maybe the next one can be of the moon! I don’t know much about the geographical features but I’m sure that if you were to do the research and do the video you, and us, would learn a lot!

[@ASMRctica]

+Andres Pena That would be interesting! Thanks for the request! It won't be the next one though, but maybe in the future :)

[@ecksoal]

once again, this is great

[@ASMRctica]

+ecksoal Thanks you so much. Appreciate your support so much :)

[@elijahtxt2334]

Very peaceful

[@ASMRctica]

+Elijah txt Thanks! glad you say that :)

[@thekittykatie]

your personality and rambling remind me so much of TheWhisperingVoice . you should check him out! he always made me feel like I had a friend and now he longer makes videos I finally found someone where I can feel that again

[@ASMRctica]

+S A D - E G G Thanks for the feedback! I checked out some of his videos - they were great! Wish he would continue making videos, because these old school whispering videos are just great to listen to I think, even though I didn't knew about them at the time they were new. And I'm your friend of course! Thanks for watching my videos :)

[@gailtuazon2079]

I have the same old phone!

[@malachaiboardman1834]

Aaaah you darkened everything when it came to your face lol

[@ASMRctica]

+Malachai Boardman :)

[@jssandler]

One thing that I always do with my smart phone is to keep the phone almost always in silent mode. I don't hear or see phone calls or messages come in but I still check as needed. That to some extent reduces the addictive power of responding to every notification in real time. I also don't have a personal Twitter or Facebook account and almost never care about responses to KZbin comments (I assume 50% of them are probably bots anyhow). So I'm slightly less connected than I could be but also probably less stressed than I would otherwise be.

[@ASMRctica]

+Vulpeculae Sounds good to me. The addiction can be really powerful otherwise I guess. Thanks for the tips - maybe starting a non-personal facebook account could be something for this channel as well in the future :)

[@smithensss]

PLEASSSSE do more of these

[@ASMRctica]

+Super Smithens Thanks for the request. So glad to hear you enjoy this video. I will try to do more ramble videos :)

[@smithensss]

Honestly buddy the 3 whisper rambles are My go too to get to sleep, they’re just brilliant but I could recite them word for word now!! :) PERSONALLY I would really really love if you perhaps did a weekly “raw in bed whisper ramble vlog” “glurring” and all :) Just chatting about your thoughts, positive and or negative. Your voice is so relaxing, your anxiety issues - I share completely and you just seem like a bloody good guy! :) cheers for the reply - you’re a good man.

[@j.r.7339]
