So I have a theory about ASMR ... And it's probably obvious, but I'm proud of myself, K?

I'm not referring to the weird, creepy ASMR vids,
But yeah
So really, a lot of ASMR sounds are just regular sounds we take for granted,
But amplified

And unless you're some sort of sound engineer for movies or something...
They you're probably oblivious to most of these sounds

And the reason some people experience head tingles with ASMR is because the sound very closely mimics the tiny sounds you can hear (if you listen hard enough) when you firmly run your fingers through your hair or scratch your sculp,
And the tingles come from the association to that sound

Basically like a sensory illusion

Works in a similar way to how taste and smell can be linked

I know the ASMR feeling 100% I can get it from listening to a good song but those ASMR videos do nothing for me

@MrBlueGuy they did nothing for me either until I made the connection 🤔

Tbf tho,
I don't necessarily need the sound, all I need is to think about head scritches hard enough to feel it 😂
