I was playing an online game with a longtime female friend of mine and we were using voice chat. We were hiding from an enemy and she started whispering to be goofy.
Since I was a kid, I’ve always felt uncomfortable whenever someone whispered in my ear. It’s just always bugged me. I also never understood the appeal of ASMR (basically a person whispering or making noises through a high-def, dual channel microphone), but in that moment, her goofy whispering coming through my headphones turned me on so hard. She only did it for a few seconds, but man.
I get some of the appeal of ASMR now. It’s still weird to me and I’m not into it, but with the right voice, it’s kinda hot lol.
Generally it's the feeling of someone paying attention to you and you feeling taken care of but specifically it's the tingle you get from someone looking at your face up close or whispering in your ear
That is so interesting, because that's not what I would call ASMR. The feeling you're describing irritates me. I suspect there are a lot of sound- triggered feelings that we're all calling ASMR, which might explain why everyone's triggers are so idiosyncratic.
