WEIRD SENSATION FEELS GOOD - PART 2

I am so glad I found out about this. I've experienced ASMR since, the farthest back I can remember, grade three. It is such a wonderful feeling, so calming and warm. I'm so glad that other people are talking about it. Unfortunately I've ended up watching ASMR videos for the past two hours instead of writing my term paper...

 

i get these sensations as well. When I Or if someone is in posession of something i own.

r is someone is reading. not all the time but mostly when i see someone reading

This is crazy!... I've got the exact same thing everyone else does.  I get the "tingling" feeling as well, I will get it when of course I am getting my hair cut or when I just sit and watch someone sweep/mop the floor or read or even do dishes and cook, I had a feeling there were people like this some where but didn't think there were that many people who had this occur.  Just knowing that there are quite a few is awesome!

Hi, I'm 16 I I have this feeling, it happens when someone is explaining something to me. It feels warm and relaxing. I used to get it more when I was younger, don't get it much a the moment. 

I have this too! My earliest memory of it was when my grandma was combing my hair and she was doing it so slowly. It also happened to me once when I was at work. It was a slow day and there were only two people in the shop, and they were wandering around looking at things and talking quietly to each other. I remember that particular time, the feeling lasted for ages.

so weird i get it when people do something really nice for me like redoing my cv or playing with hair

I have the same thing and Ive asked so many people if they know what im talking about and they say no and probably think im a little crazy. My first memory was in school when i was like 6 years old and a girl in my class showed me what to do and drew a picture for me. I love this feeling and thought i was the only one who had ot great to know there are others but i wish i knew what it was called.

I'm so happy that all of you have this. In case you're wondering, this isn't weird or abnormal at all. Many people have it, and it's called ASMR. It's actually quite popular on youtube. To feel this ASMR, just plug in your headphones (has to have headphones) go on Youtube, type in ASMR, pick a video (any will do) and relax. You're welcome in advance.

I started feeling these sensations very recetly. Say for a month or so. It is always on the left side of my head, and behind the ear. Feels good, then it stops itself. Nothing seems to trigger it. It just happens. BTW I am 71 years old male and I live in Canada.

I just randomly googled this topic after reading a post about it on another site. I've experienced this since I was a kid. At school when the teacher would write on the chalk board, one particular teacher who would do roll call and her bracelet would jingle as she wrote. It happens all the time in stores when someone who works there is putting away clothes. Even sometimes with tellers at the bank. I have noticed that it happens with elderly people. Especially when an elderly person speaks. Accents also tend to make it happen to me as well. And if someone touches the back of my head. I never understood it and didn't know if anyone else ever felt this. Glad to have more information on it! I'm female and from NY.

Apparently this is being discussed this week in the "This American Life" podcast. My SO just messaged me, very excited becuase I'm the only person she'd previsouly heard talking about ACMR.

I haven't had it happen in many years. When I was in elementary school, we' have an annual fundraiser for the community recreation centre and we kids would go door to door looking for sponsors/donors. One house had a pair of spinster sisters, and watching one of them carefully, deliberately fill in every space on the sponsorship form, "it" would start. First as a tiny little tingle at the very top of my scalp, then growing to what felt like a little circle an inch or two in diameter, then -  if I was lucky - the flood; all the way down through my head and into my body. Like it washed all the way through.

I never discussed it with many people because I thought it was too freaky and personal. This is the first time I've heard it discussed in any public forum. Awesome, isn't it? We're not freaks anymore! Well...I guess we're still freaks, but aren't we the best kind?

Sorry for the typos.

I can sometimes trigger this head rush when I replay climactic scenes from movies in my head usually when I'm doing something monotonous like driving. Scenes like Darth Vader killing the Emperor, Paul Atreides announcing the "Sleeper has awakened" in Dune (1984), etc. Mostly from movies I've loved since I was a child, but sometimes films I saw when I was older like Signs or 12 Monkeys.

I completely get this!! Alas I am not alone! And I have had it for as long as I can remember (I'm 21 now). The reason I just looked it up is because I got it by listening to one of my lecturers on a lecturecast. When I get it, I feel all weak but in a really pleasant way...I struggle to write and hold a pen when it's happening because my muscles just seem to relax. It's really hard to zone out of too when it's happening.Triggers for me have been:- Watching people go through their pencil case really delicately.- People explaining things to me in a really slow, calm manner. (it's strengthened if the person has really strong perfume/aftershave on)- Watching people do things like draw, write, make.- Certain people's voices.It's never triggered by myself doing something, it is always from watching someone else, and it is always from a person (I get the older thing that people have mentioned..the people are always older or at least my age..never younger...there is always a degree of respect for that person) not an object or an animal.This is so interesting..I'm a psychology student and I would just love to explore this more or know more about what it is!
