I Tried ASMR For The First Time

And we're back! Here is a video we filmed at the end of last year that I'm excited to finally release! Watch the first half now and save the second half for nap time, lol.
So I've seen a lot of non-ASMR youtubers release ASMR videos in the last few months, so I wanted to do a deep dive into what ASMR is and then try an ASMR segment of my own. Thankfully, I got Gibi of Gibi ASMR to help me figure out what it's all about. What did you think of my ASMR segment? Did you like the haircut roleplay? Did any part give you tingles?
You can check out Gibi's channel here! / @gibiasmr
TYPO: Also, 8:49 isn't Caroline ASMR it's Ting Ting ASMR! So sorry!

In church we were supposed to sit still and be quiet, right?! When we were at a family church event, my favorite thing was having a cousin to sit by and we would trace our finger up each other’s arm with eyes closed and try to guess when they’d reach the crease of our elbow. So tingly. I also like someone tracing their finger on my face. I definitely fell in love with visual triggers because they take me back to that and give me that same sensation. It really surprised me that it would actually make me feel something when not actually being touched!

[@dodaTiffany]

The moment you realize a trigger of yours is the Wish “demon” pants... and thanks Safiya for getting me into ASMR, now I can’t sleep without it. 😊

I love that asmr has brought some attention to mirror-touch synesthesia and synesthesia in general. All of these massage asmr videos are so helpful for stress as someone who has mirror-touch synesthesia- I can literally feel what others feel when I see them. So I feel as though someone is giving me a massage when I see someone else getting one. WhispersRed does some stuff with that and it is so lovely and comforting

[@katieeliason7055]

This video literally started my journey into asmr. I had heard about it, but thought it was weird so didn't look into it. I saw your video and decided to search for more and now I'm obsessed. I just came back to rewatch after your mention if it in a recent live with Tyler. So fun to rewatch

[@zee8178]

How to make an ASMR video: 1. Tap on things 2. Don’t scream

[@corathestoryteller]

Or attach mini microphones to things in your kitchen and make sure everything is completely silent, except you cooking. Thats my ASMR paradise

[@amywarnock8524]

Pretty much any sound can be a trigger as long as it’s soft, slow and repetitive Fast and aggressive asmr: *am i a joke to you?*

[@zacharyminton73]

The commentary during the ASMR part was PRICELESS!! I was roaring with laughter!! I get icked out by whispering (probably because its a wet sound), but I love sounds (dry) of inanimate objects, so the comedic commentary was perfect to keep me from being repulsed by the whispers. That was one of my favorite ever!!

[@valeskax4647]

OMG I love u sooooo much u are an incredible person and make the best asmr

[@MeliPatoco]

I remember feeling this tingles whenever I played "hypnosis" with my friends or cousins, because it involved a lot of hand movements and whispering, or whenever my mom used to do "juju things" to cure a belly or head ache. I remember feeling weird because no one else felt them. I still get huge tingles whenever someone tells me a secret (like actually whispering in my ear), and I literally have to move away because of the strong feeling runing from my neck, to the back of my head ans all the way through my spine. I found out about ASMR about a year ago and it is kind of helping my insomnia, and I have saved some specific videos that help me a lot when I'm going through an anxiety/panic attack.

This sheds such a positive light on the whole concept of asmr. Thank you Safiya for exploring asmr and really giving the community a voice.

[@Lion___]

ASMRShortbread I honestly don’t get it it makes me want to cry, I hate it I don’t know I just haven’t found any that was even remotely ok lmao

[@ASMRShortbread]

Lorelei Hess Do you mean you just really hate asmr? That’s okay, you don’t have to like it! I just mean I hope more people begin to “accept” asmr and allow others to enjoy it without mocking them. It’s perfectly okay not to enjoy it. 💜

[@ariff.S]

*a whisper*

[@carriekup]

@@Lion___ I'm confused by your comment. If you are saying that ASMR is what you hate, and you haven't found any ASMR videos that are even "remotely ok", I'm really curious as to what you mean. What is there to hate? What are you looking to find, that so far you have found nothing that is remotely ok? It sounds as though you feel very passionate abt what you are referring to, since you said you could cry.... No judgement or hostility at all, I'm just genuinely curious, could you elaborate?

[@jcdenton5828]

ASMRShortbread Shut up pervert.

[@emmahill3514]

Getting lots of tingles from your asmr triggers, you are a natural. Have you done anymore asmr videos since this? If not I highly recommend you do, your amazing. Thank you :)

[@Austin.D]

As someone who's been watching Asmr since 2013 I can say that this is the first non Asmr channel that's actually a deep dive video of what Asmr actually is the other videos I saw where just ignorant nieve people who just point and laugh at it anyway I'm surprised that you didn't have Maria Whispers on since she's like the biggest and most well known Asmrtist in the Asmr community

[@ashleighmodglin]

I have no clue who that is and I’ve been watching ASMR for a few years, but I’ll definitely check her out

[@kaleighhodgson8887]

I honestly just appreciate how much research goes into each of her videos

I don’t mind it in asmr (I’d rather not have the mouth sounds) but if I heard that in real life I’d be annoyed and angry. I had a teacher who used to make the sounds when she talked and the amount of times I’ve wanted to throw my book at her lol

Honestly, favorite part was the hair brushing. Very personal and nurturing, like when my mother stroked my hair until I fell asleep when I was little, and that will still always be the best feeling ever. Loved your voice already before this, because hearing your videos with yours and Tyler's voices made me feel calm when anxious because I love your videos so much (and I have BAD anxiety, so thank you). You should definitely make more of these videos. You have the voice and charm for it that makes someone feel calm.
