Big same. I have never enjoyed ASMR, it’s more likely to irritate me than anything else. Up-close mouth sounds make my skin crawl. The idea that ASMR sounds are “relaxing” is paradoxical to my experience. I get angry or disgusted instead.
If you also find that anger or fight-or-flight instincts are triggered by such sounds, you might have a touch of misophonia.
Best way I can describe a positive ASMR experience is “music from another room”.
I remember being a kid and falling asleep listening to the TV playing in the living room as my parents were talking. the volume of everything just barely over ambient volume. the safety and security I felt ad a child knowing my parents were near by and nothing bad was happening relaxed me and allowed me to lazily drift off to sleep.
that, is what ASMR does (at least for me). I listen to similarly “made up” content that’s background ambiance rather than the direct tongue in ear shit.
