Personality

     When you go ahead and watch an ASMR video you typically watch a video to see if you like it and if you don't you move on to the next one. I feel like a lot of time when you do this you are looking for a personality that you enjoy. I doubt anyone would want to watch a 20 to 30 minute video and not like the person they are watching. 
     The sound of their voice, tendencies and of course their appearance all factor into this persona that is being created for you the viewer. I sounds as if I'm being petty but its true, pretty much in everything. If you don't like the look of something there is already some negative connotations in your head about whether or not you will like them. This all comes into play because at the end of the day you want to relax when watching these videos and you want what you are seeing to be easy on the eyes. At least for you. 
     Thats why I believe that almost anyone can get into ASMR because there is literally something for everyone. If you can think it odds are its been made. So if this is your cup of tea I hope you check it out.

Daily Ritual

     I'm already approaching the point where I am running out of what to talk about. So, what I'm going to do is talk about myself. Not the self aggrandizing kind of talk but the kind where I share not just my thoughts on ASMR  but my experiences.

     For me ASMR isn't just some way to relax, its a daily ritual that I do before I go to sleep. That in of itself is kinda relaxing, just doing something you're familiar with to the extent where it's "easy" in all aspects of the word. Everything that previously mentioned in my older blog posts come into play here. The feeling of intimacy and lack of loneliness. I don't necessarily feel lonely but the real feeling of this person, who it feels like you get to know pretty well, talking and interacting with you can be something more. A sort of calming content. A familiarity that has you guessing on whats going to happen next.

     I listen to all sorts of videos but I'm at this point where I need more than just being relaxed to achieve what I want out of those kind of videos. I need stability but unpredictability. I need familiar but changing videos. With this at the core what I essentially want from these kind of videos is to be absorbed in the interactions with us, the audience. If I am left with my thoughts it's almost impossible to fall asleep in any kind of timely matter.
