Close Personal Attention & Hugs

[@juliet9329]

As someone with a trauma history, you asking for permission before you come closer, hug, etc is SO IMPORTANT. Please know how much it is appreciated!!!

[@ΠαυλοςΜελας-η7ξ]

Dear Tom, your work is so amazing!!! ❤️ ❤️ We love your videos!! ❤️ ❤️

After an assault, I didn’t want physical touch or anything. However, every once in a while I crave a hug though or just feeling some sort of loneliness when my man leaves after spending time together. This never fails to warm my heart. The simple act of asking for permission makes me feel unbelievably safe. Thank you for this. I am beyond grateful for what you do for us viewers.

[@adimonas8936]

Selamat merry Cfismas sayang I❤YOU

[@danielafernandes5737]

The simple act of asking for permission. So simple yet so difficult to understand and respect. After these past few weeks of such troubling news of a young woman being killed haunts me to think of every women out there that fear walking alone at night, who cross the street when they see a group of men. Thank you, Tom. You are a true gentleman and we are all blessed to have you and your amazing content to relax us 💜 stay safe and take care xx

[@juantomjones9653]

Agreed! Tom is amazing!

[@glizzypapco1120]

every women should cary a gun its fucked up it has to be that way but i rather hear a criminal get shot than a innocent women getting killed

[@josenathanortiz]

Tom is too pure for this world.

[@pmnightsasmr]

I’m sure you get this comment all the time but I honestly don’t understand how you don’t have more subscribers. You’re such a comforting presence to have around and your ASMR is phenomenal.

[@laura79DQ]

The ear-to-ear breathy whispers were amazing

[@Enigma1990ad]

ASMR is really a strange phenomena. Tom's crinkly shirt was so pleasing to listen to here however irl if someone wore a crinkly shirt around me it'll irritate me ngl.

[@19jacinta88]

Likewise! I have no problem listening to ambience videos with rain sounds, but I can't listen to rain to fall asleep, it irritates me.

[@amberlee.nycole.perrine8150]

I've been crying all day, I saw the title and my eyes started watering. I'm crying and we haven't even got past the intro. Thank you, Tom. For this beautiful video. I really needed it today.

[@agr8guywv]

❤took 2 years to show up , but finally you are here . Great video ...very soothing ❤. Thank you

[@cpie22]

So, I had to have one of my cats put to sleep very unexpectedly yesterday and it's been a pretty rough weekend. Thank you for giving me something else to focus on for a bit. I wouldn't typically share something like this but I'm feeling much more peaceful after watching, thanks Tom.

[@kristencurtis7031]

@Celeste I'm so sorry for your loss ⚘.

[@jeanettenance1366]

So sad 😢

[@RelaxingMaleASMR]

So sorry 😢 such a hard thing to put a pet down. Glad I was able to help just a little

[@19jacinta88]

So sorry for your loss! You have my condolences.

[@shayejackson5822]

Oh I am so sorry! 😕

[@jaredcampbell8220]

Tom I legitimately thought I had lost the ability to feel the “tingles” but after playing this video once I got them back for the first time in almost two years! I honestly forgot how it felt! Awesome video Tom!

[@krissys3325]

This is exactly what I needed today. I don’t have someone in my life to give me comfort like this. You made me feel so much better when I needed it the most. Thank you Tom, truly.

[@josetarazona2662]

This was a BEYOND experience. Never felt so relaxed and tingled with any other ASMR video.

[@Whisper_and_Sigh]

I struggle with severe chronic depression and agoraphobia, and I play this numerous times throughout the day and night to stay centered and relaxed. It's a great help. Thank you, Tom!

[@DS-gz3mm]

I'm melting... Your face tracing brings me to tears every time. 🥺🥺 So happy to see you Tom, hope you're doing well. ❤️

[@jademondia6537]

The hugs felt so heart-warming. Especially since I haven't had a real one in a while. 🥺💜💙 Thanks, Tom.

[@heatherchapman2773]

Thank you so much for making this video. I found it to be not just relaxing, but incredibly soothing. I am a twice divorced single mom who is having a hell of a time right now. Sometimes it seems like the stress will never go away. This video brought me a lot of comfort. Thank you for that. I think that you are an incredible ASMR-tist! You have a very comforting and soothing voice which adds so much to all of your videos. As strange as it may sound, the fact that you are so polite and that you ask the viewer permission for you to come closer to the camera really means a lot too. For those of us who feel like nobody really respects or cares about what we say, to have someone do that means a lot. I am very happy to have found your channel and happier still to have subscribed. I’m looking forward to more content. Take care Tom. Blessed be. ✨✨✨

[@19jacinta88]

I always relax a little bit more when he says “I got you” at appr 4:22. Thank you ❤️

[@sarahsalsa2461]

Tom, you sir are the real MVP of ASMR. Your ASMR is soul deep and healing in so many ways. So grateful 🥺🙏

[@marianomarcote9930]

Hi Tom! I want to thank you for your videos. Your voice is so calming, so soothing, and your whole attitude is beautiful. I felt so safe in your arms when you hugged me. :) You really are a protective, caring, and dedicated gentleman. I watch your videos every night before sleep. :) Thank you for taking care of me, and for making me feel so peaceful and safe.

[@Whisper_and_Sigh]

A year later and this is still my go-to ASMR video. I listen to it every single night before bed.

[@c.v.8833]

What a sweet, gentle, and genuine way you have. As always, thanks so much angel! Wish you knew how much we truly appreciate and care for you! Stay safe and be well.💜✨

[@jamescrain8944]

Thank you once again Tom, for your unmatched awesome hugs, warmth, positivity and white light. I am sorry for your stress and anxiety - sending some wrap-around warm cheek hugs in return

[@ChiKat8]

Congrats on 80k Tom!! Favorite ASMR artist since day one 😊💛

[@christinaholtzclaw2738]

I’m totally blind and your voice is very relaxing. Helps me sleep.

[@jeanettenance1366]

I haven't hugged anyone for months. I would probably break you☺️

[@martinekelly5126]

This was so intimate, it was totally enveloping, and I loved it when you said not to feel selfish, it was mesmerizing ang gorgeously blissful and real xxxx

[@stevang8531]

I have been struggling a lot with my mental health and this has helped so much thank you

[@stevang8531]

8:56 insane tingles

[@MSDesignASMR]

The plucking trigger at 13:30 is super nice!

[@ChadHaines9]

Perfect timing. I’m snowed in all alone and this is the perfect thing for personal attention

[@jerryv.1]

Hugging videos are unrivaled . Perfect job Tom! When I take my headphones and listen, I feel like there's a close friend in the room with me, lying next to me and breathing down my neck 😁 It's very strange, maybe a little weird, 😊 but I admit, I love it! 😌

[@liliandelhomme4628]

i dont really know what to say but i wanna help you with the algorithm because your videos are amazing and your craftsmanship and genuine care helped me a lot with anxiety and all that jazz. Thanks !

[@FC-lt9hc]

Oh I loved this. Your energy was so warm and I felt so incredibly safe. Thank you for this video, Tom

[@vellavoila]

Tom: 20, 19, 18, 17... Me: SLOW DOWN PLEASE I DON’T WANT THIS TO END :(

[@artysmarty_mum9567]

This... This is why I first fell in love with your work. Your whispers are perfect and the hugs mean the world. Xx

[@diegollanos5903]

Who gave the dislike?! We need to talk 😠

[@SweetheartSamantha87]

the gentleness in your voice is so soothing *closes eyes*

[@andrzejmaranda3699]

It's absolutely relaxing, Tom, and giving me peace in my heart.

[@19jacinta88]

Okay seriously....you’ve done it again. You’ve simply just done it again. ❤️ You’re sometimes so close to my ears that I arched my back 😊 and I fell asleep with a smile. Thank you a million times over ❤️

[@rich8607]

Wow, me too. That was perfectly memorizing!

[@jenniferlynnschlomer8387]

Always love hugs from tom! 🤗🤗💙💙 and love the face touching and plucking. Thanks for great visuals.

[@laurawhitaker5670]

Tom, your compassion always tears my eyes up. Thank you for all you do!

[@Sandra-RC9Gx7]

Hi, Tom. It's wonderful to see you. Thank you for the hugs and relaxation. Have a great week ahead.💜

[@skizbees]

Letting go of everything and the tingles begin. Thanks for all you do in this space, Tom! 🤗🎙💚

[@abigailfowler6358]

I dont usually comment...but this video was better than I thought it would be, the thumbnail was adorable, and I loved how open and personal this video was❤ you sir, have a beautiful soul💕

[@Adam_Pianist]

I sooo needed this as college midterms are killing me rn ❤️❤️

[@kristencurtis7031]

@Adam Good luck!!!

[@tommy132648]

Your hug videos are always the best and help me relax so much

[@RebeliousSapien]

this was an absolute goldmine. I really needed this. I've had such a bad day and i just needed something to quiet my head a little. thank you so much.

[@pamm4361]

Awesome video! Just perfect I needed a hug and found Tom. Thanks! made me feel safe and sleepy. Love the crinkle shirt.

[@ohhoneeey4649]

u dont know how much this kinds of video make me feel good about everything. It gives me comfort, it makes me feel close, warm, relaxed. I dont know if you know how much u change peoples lives, but i hope u do, love u ❤

[@finfan83]

Lost Asmr tingles about a year ago, but this video worked.

[@desvulpex]

This video has been helping me sleep so much lately.. bless your soul 🥺💓

[@Rigspelt4ever]

You always come through with these videos at the best time. After the week I've had, I seriously can't wait to get in bed and watch this ❤️

[@nicholasjohnson5944]

This. Is. MAGNIFICENT!!!!! :D So incredibly peaceful and soothing 😌!!! :D For all the effort, time and care you put into your content... thank you with all of my heart, spectacular Mr. Tom!!!!! :D

[@__________k5446]

I'm taking midterms this week and I've been pulling all nighters to the point that I felt like breaking down. The video was unbelievably so relaxing and helping. I had tears pooling in my eyes because I didn't realise how much I needed a hug until you made me. Not to mention the fact that you have the most gentle aura, the most gorgeous eyes I have ever seen. 👊😭😭😭😭😭💓

[@silverdragon9673]

I really needed a video like this after such a rough day. Thank you so much for all your amazing videos! Keep up the good work Tom!

[@Stefania180293]

Thank you for being the best hubby in the entire ASMR community ♥️

[@Stefania180293]

P.S: MARRY ME!

[@jenniferspinney1322]

I literally fell asleep, sitting upright, at my desk with my hands on the keyboard. This is an amazing video! Thank you for it! 🤗

[@ShelB28]

I am not a hugger, It makes me so uncomfortable and tense, this has always been an issue for me. I hate that. But I really tried to focus and “feel” these hugs. I hope to one day be more relaxed in a real life situation, this is a good practice exercise. I found myself smiling like an idiot when you said you felt better too. Thanks for that.

[@katelovespizza]

whispering is the only trigger that makes me tingle! this video was amazing tom😍

[@santymunoz1325]

The hugs are back!! I love them 🥰

[@casper96]

i couldn’t sit still with all the tingles it got

[@neptunian_dreamer6526]

The shirt crinkles are absolutely perfect Tom ❤️ I think it’s one of my new favorite triggers, it’s such a good sound.

[@ianglaing]

You know, when you did that survey part of me wanted to say the uber driver rp but to be perfectly honest, videos like these are the ones that I watch the most. I like the more creative videos too and I will watch them. The sea shanty one was great lol! But the simple videos of someone just being calm and whispering and giving personal attention really help me a lot. It doesn't even matter what the person is saying because I fall asleep halfway through usually lol. But for me that is what really helps me the most. I put videos like this on a playlist and I'll end up watching them repeatedly cause they get the job done!

[@kelseyma8502]

One of my favorite channels !

[@johncartermusic5777]

This was exactly what I've been needing. Thank you for a great video.

[@ventusheart5733]

Thank you so much 😭😭😭 i felt so lonely lately and for once in a long time i feel safe and loved 😭😭😭 Thank you Tom for the amazing work you do, you always kill that kind of video 😭

[@zara1867]

You're not alone.God is with you honey⚘⚘⚘😙

[@angelafrost310]

2:46 into this & I find myself wishing I knew the human-ness of who you are. I don't sleep well. I despise having my face touched due to past trauma... My EX husband broke into my home & assaulted me... This was 100% helpful for me to relax into. I'm looking forward to watching it's remainder & getting additional sleep. I'm so grateful for your time!

[@RelaxingMaleASMR]

I’m so glad this helped you. These are the types of comments that are important to me.

[@bsbznumber1fan]

You have no idea how much i needed this. Thank you. Much love,Heather lynn. See I've been feeling so alone and crying so much that i couldn't stop. Then i played this video and now I'm relaxed and i feel like i can go to sleep and i have insomnia so sleep is hard most of the time unless my depression gets bad then all i do is sleep. So again ty for all that you do.

[@stephanieh4514]

I'm so sorry to hear you have been feeling very sad. I know we are perfect strangers, but just know I am sending you virtual hugs and love. ❤❤❤❤

[@SM80FG]

Collecting a hug three years later…thank you.

[@juantomjones9653]

Thanks Tom! This was amazing and couldn't have come at a better time. This was so calming and relaxing. Also, the whispers and breaths in the right ear gave me mad tingles. I appreciate the personal attention. Thanks again Tom from Tom. Yes, my name is Tom too. Well is part of my name but everyone calls me Tom for short. How cool is that? Two Tom's together. One helping the other relax.

[@BenMarkWhyler]

One of your best videos yet!

[@fairyscrol]

I love your videos but it's frustrating that I'm not able to finished them, I fall asleep hugging a pillow before that happens 😸 Thank you for making me sleep comfortably

[@adahigdon8660]

The whispers in the ears and breathing and personal attention made me very tingly all over

[@monikazhang4040]

Finally new video i need it now.. thank you for always make me calm.

[@oceanlover3530]

Loved this! It took away all my stress from the crazy day. Thank you! ✌🏻👍🏻✌🏻

[@shesthebethest]

So many tingles!! You do this the best, thank you so much for making these. 🥰 Unrelated, but this video reminded me that my first time experiencing asmr was in grade 1 when a boy in my class quietly moved lego pieces next to me

[@paradise745]

Tom can you make more vids with the same techniques as this one when you get a chance? I’ve been watching this like 2-3x a week since it came out lol it’s a masterpiece

[@mwanamke2]

Ok I came here to relax and fall asleep.Then why is my heart racing?😅Not that I’m complaining.Definitely getting tingles,just in more places than I thought I would 👀New subbie

[@tassdiary5473]

The 'good evening' excite me as always.

[@Hotwheels5482]

You’re SO sweet! Asking for permission to come close… 🥰 Once I feel safe with someone, personal space isn’t really a thing and I’m really touchy. 😂 I’d close my eyes if I could also still see your face… it’s 3:36 and I just woke back up a little bit ago 😂 “I got you…” I believe you. 🥰 “Be a little selfish”…hard for an empath/chaplain/counselor etc.! Especially when takers tell you not to be selfish. In my head you kissed my face when you got close to my face. 🤷‍♀️ 😂 ooh the jaw…I have TMJ and it’s often tense. Always helpful! As soon as you said crinkly shirt I could feel it even tho I’m in a cozy sweatshirt. 😂 plucking is one of my favorite triggers. SO tingly! Ooh painting? For fun or…? If you ever did hug me, I am a hugger, so it would probably not be for a second! 😂🥰 I call long, tight hugs “Jack sized”. He was my brother…one of my best friends. We met in grad school. He gave the BEST hugs. And never just one! 😂 Unfortunately he died unexpectedly in 2012. Anyways, I picture your hugs being like his, so thank you! 🥰 Ha I didn’t want you to get to “one”. I decided to go for one long comment instead of 29 short ones this time 😂 You are amazing. Love ya LOTS

[@brentwolff5283]

Dang, I fell asleep around the 5 minute mark and then woke up and the video was over. New record I think!

[@kristendoherty896]

Thank you for the video. It was very helpful. Please take care always and be safe.

[@jillb80]

Hi Tom,the crinkly shirt sound was lovely it reminds me of raindrops..

[@HikiibatoHada]

Permission to touch, hugs, and beard scritches 💕... It's the little things that make it nice and unique. Good night, this was great 😭🌼
