birthday blues

[@free2tingleasmr918]

Your 6th grade birthday story really tugged at my heartstrings. I do relate to that feeling. Thank you Mr Harris for reminding a very special little girl that she is special.

[@laurasmith856]

The story about the teacher made me cry... you should email him and say thank. Also b days for introverts are difficult. As long as "your" peoeple are there for you that is what really matters

[@baschwise]

I used to find my birthday really hard and feel sad and embarrassed and lonely because it was the middle of the summer holidays when no one was around, unlike everyone who had theirs during school or university termtime, and then I decided that since it was *my* birthday that meant it was my personal day to do whatever I wanted. Since I reframed it like that and stopped feeling like I had to wait for others to celebrate me, I actually really enjoy it now, I usually go on a little day trip or weekend trip alone to a different city and go check out museums and eat some great food, and just vibe, do whatever I want. It's a special day just for me!

LUV ur piercings and it is so cool your friend gave you axolotl nails! ❤ I think it's so great that you don't care what ppl think and go to the movies alone. Perhaps it's bc of your introversion that you have such a high degree of emotional intelligence- the ability to value urself, be self-aware and self accepting, and be comfortable just being yourself. Many (most?) ppl go their entire lives w/o achieving that. Go Monica!! OMG, Michael's! I'll take any excuse to go there and wander the aisles, enjoying the beautiful colors, textures, materials, pretty little things!!🥰. Happy birthday again, Monica, I would totally give you a Jolly Rancher!💕

Also your friend is insane at doing nails. The colors are everything

Waking up before 5:00 a.m is brutal! I'm glad you listened to your body and slept. Too often we deprive ourselves from sleep.

I would like to share my opinion regarding the ASMR thing that you mention. I think there are 3 types of people in the world. Those who just don't 'get' ASMR at all, those who've discovered the videos and enjoy the relaxing 'background" effect; and those who have experienced real legitimate ASMR tingles ever since they can remember. Unfortunately, it's become a very watery grey area as people have sexualized it to the point that many people; particularly from the first group I mentioned; believe it is a fetish. These people have subsequently jumped on the bandwagon and used fetish ASMR for financial gain. This is quite sad because it's caused people to take ASMR less seriously when it is in actual fact an incredible phenomenon that deserves recognition and research. ASMR is and always has been such a deep and personal experience to me and it upsets me that people misinterpret it so. There is nothing wrong with having a fetish, but that is not ASMR. It's not sexual at all. The feeling of true ASMR is akin to being coddled by your mother and having your hair stroked. That is why it is considered so relaxing and helps us fall asleep and relieve anxiety. I see it as being born with a sixth sense almost because you're 'feeling' sounds! That's quite incredible. That being said, I am so grateful for the evolution of AMSR onto video format and the research that has gone into ASMR; and the fact that it even has a name now - it was only named in 2010 I think.

[@flowlotl]

So intresting to read and i agree with all ur points!! I think asmr is amazing and explains a lot of the reasons why im attracted to certain things and sounds so I'm glad it's become more normalized!!

[@free2tingleasmr918]

@@flowlotl I really appreciate all the ASMR in your videos!
