I'm very curious about how common it is for people to actually experience ASMR. For those who don't know, ASMR, or Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, is a sensation that feels like tingling in the head and sometimes the spine, chest or other regions of the body, when that person is exposed to different "triggering" sounds or visuals. For a majority of people, the trigger is auditory. Common triggers are tapping, crinkling, or rubbing sounds. Another large section of people are triggered by close personal attention, such as when someone is asking you questions in a quiet, calm voice, or when you're being examined at a doctor's/dentist's/optometrist's office. A lot of people are also triggered by haircuts, or hair brushing.
So, do you think you experience it? Have you ever felt calmed or sleepy while getting a haircut, or while your doctor is listening to your breathing, or do you really, really like the sound of tapping on wood or plastic? You may have ASMR.
If anyone's interested in this, or trying to trigger your ASMR, there's tons and tons of videos on youtube you can check out just by searching "asmr". Personally, I've known I experience it since I was a young kid, but I didn't know what it was called or even that not everyone can experience it. I thought it was just something normal that happened to everyone.
