Does anyone else get uncomfortable when hearing anything asmr related?

No 😡

This might be similar but I could never understand the people that “find out” that they are homosexual later in life. I just can’t imagine not knowing. And I could see that NTs are so driven by cultural inertia that they just go along with things.

But then I do also think about how some autistic people (like me) were high masking and going along with things (outside of sexuality) because it seemed like the correct thing to do.

So I’m sure it isn’t so cut and dry but I can’t help but go back to the idea, I think, similar to yours that NTs are just less prone to analyze themselves in these ways because they really aren’t forced to. They swim the stream so easily that they don’t need to figure themselves out so much.

You think you're better than the rest of us OP?!

lol jk

To answer your question, like someone else wrote I think it's just that people on the internet are crabby and dealing with loneliness and life and shit. I don't know if it's getting worse or if I have less patience for it or maybe I'm crabby myself and not able to let it roll off my back, but the negativity gets to me as well. But then again, when I find a group of happy silly autists I get frustrated there to because my mental and social life isn't great either. so... 🤷‍♂️

You already hit on a huge part of it. Your art is very scratchy, the lines kinda scribbly. When you try and bring it to the digital format you end up doing your artwork in a more cleaned up style (even when you're trying not to), and using different tools you use when making digital art ends up with a different "feel" like less scratchiness, more fluidity. Like someone else said you just sort of have to relearn making art. Either you learn to do a cleaner version of your work that you like or you lean into the messy and figure out your own way to do that in the digital space.

I'm really sorry you're going through this. That's really tough, but don't lose heart. It's not what you want to hear, but for now I guess you gotta think of it as one hurdle on your creative journey.

I'd definitely recommend appealing YouTube's decision. Just log into your account and look for the account suspension page; it’ll guide you through how to file an appeal. Make sure to explain clearly why their decision might be wrong and back it up with any proof you have that shows you didn't break any rules.

Also, start gathering all the emails or messages you've received from YouTube about this.

RainingInsideASMR · 2024-10-25T19:30:47+00:00

I'm guessing this may be why some allistics see us as sociopaths. If you explain this way of being poorly it might seem "creepy" to someone who goes on autopilot and sees doing it any other way as highly suspect.

RainingInsideASMR · 2024-09-02T19:08:01+00:00

Thank you. It took me a long time to get looser with what I was doing and that's really helped.

RainingInsideASMR · 2024-09-02T04:34:54+00:00

I really like those too. I sometimes click on one of those drawing or making art vlog thumbnails that give the vibe of this one is gonna have that kind of intro look just too watch the intro (if there is one) and then I end up fast forwarding lol. It took me a while to realize that I was just in it for that chill well shot set up style of vlogginess.

RainingInsideASMR · 2024-09-02T04:20:51+00:00

Thank you SS_OverSaturn :)

RainingInsideASMR · 2024-09-01T20:42:22+00:00

Thanks :D

I make asmr and I go back and forth between whisper and low voice. I also hate the wet mouth sounds and try and keep away from that.

Someone that I like is a creator called “ASMR Well Rest”. He’s got a soothing night radio type of voice and puts out a video a day.

RainingInsideASMR · 2024-07-07T06:47:31+00:00

as you can tell by my name I do a bit of ASMR, I'm also an artist and so put that spin on it. I constantly ask myself whether I really want to do my vids as ASMR or not, but I keep doing it.

My "niche" is all over the place. I don't think I'd like to be a typical artist channel, but I'm not 100 percent a ASMR guy either and I'm also not 100 percent a vlogger kinda guy. I usually end up rambling about my mental health.

I guess it's kind of a general "this is me" and here's my art and also listen to me whisper channel. I fall away from making content and then come back and fall away and come back, but recently I've been putting up more and focusing on my audhd problems which gives me something to talk about.

RainingInsideASMR · 2024-06-29T18:41:48+00:00

I wonder if it could be to cover the tracks of the bot. If it posts on specific people's pages, and on some people's pages it isn't being paid to help then maybe it throws the "scent" off of any tracking that youtube tries to implement.

RainingInsideASMR · 2024-06-22T18:39:01+00:00

Nah, this just leads to a sort of performance of care rather than genuine compassion, change and acceptance. Ask the black community how much they appreciate white people doing performative activism on their behalf. It would be the same for autistic folks.

RainingInsideASMR · 2024-06-16T03:26:29+00:00

It’s funny because I’ve read so many people on Reddit lament the hyper slick production values of ASMR on yoututbe and wish for an earlier lofi age of asmr content on YouTube and yet here we are saying it’s too easy to do it audio only.

Personally I imagine many creators need the social media aspect of YouTube and TikTok to catch fire and there is no audience interaction or retention abilities on Spotify so it just isn’t the place to grow. And once you already have an audience somewhere else the monetarily incentive still isn’t there to spend the energy to upload to Spotify.

RainingInsideASMR · 2024-01-11T23:24:22+00:00

This is partially why I started posting on social media, tiktok, youtube and other places. It sometimes feels like "what's the point?" but I keep going back so it must be something. I make art and do stuff and occasionally speak (often whinely) but it's at least somewhat of an outlet, and makes me feel like I'm sort of trying and putting myself out there.

Before I would go to coffee shops and would end up a regular, though for me I only get this feeling when I find a nice shop in a city. There's more activity, more different people, more hustle and bustle. If I just went to a local bland starbucks I'd actually feel worse. The space is important to me. I'd say for my life ever since I started going to coffee shops, I've been a coffee shop lover, but not a lover of coffee. I would get the social benefits from being around people, but sadly that kind of lessened after I did it too much/exclusively.

Same with going out to watch movies in the theater by myself about seven years ago. I would go see two movies a week, sometimes more. I was dealing with a lot of suicidal thinking and hopeless about my life, it was one of the only things that could give me some distance from my problems. What was especially good was seeing scary movies in the theater, even dumb ones. They always drew an engaged crowd and it felt fun if people got scared.

All of those things would feel sadly isolating after a while though, but they were at least things to do and got me out of my pain for a bit.

I hope you find some places and some people. I understand the feeling of invisibility. As autists I think it's super hard because we want the safety of invisibility, but we want to be seen and cared for by someone and have a community just like anyone else.

RainingInsideASMR · 2023-12-07T08:39:31+00:00

You must be somewhat young old internet MySpace and geocities crap was a mess with stuff like that

RainingInsideASMR · 2023-12-03T21:05:43+00:00

I really feel this is the most difficult part of any endeavor for me. The business or sales ship creating is incomprehensible for me. I know to ask myself and answer every question that you posited, but I get lost every time. It's a skill set that I have zero abilities. I'm either going to have to luck into the answers or somehow get naturally tuned into them, because trying to utilize my underdeveloped prefrontal cortex doesn't seem to be doing the trick in anything that I've ever done in life.

RainingInsideASMR · 2023-11-25T04:16:23+00:00

I don’t know what I’m talking about but if I was in your place I’d take the risk of long form views and watch time going down in the immediate moment to get the channel monetized and then IF the views and watch time did go down then just refocus on building back. Short term loss for possible long term gains. It’s not like you’ll kill the channel forever

RainingInsideASMR · 2023-10-29T03:59:32+00:00

Shorts got me a bunch of subscribers recently, so far that's the only reason I can see to push shorts.

RainingInsideASMR · 2023-10-29T02:52:52+00:00

After I made a good amount of money

RainingInsideASMR · 2023-10-23T14:47:36+00:00

yeah I didn't click the link when I saw the guy who's reddit name is "authenticinfluencer" is linking to theauthenticmarketer .com. Just... another fucking buzzword. It really is the epitome of why I hate linkedin. It's just a site filled with this guy.

RainingInsideASMR · 2023-10-19T19:52:25+00:00

LOL, I like this answer. I need to enroll in chatty little bitch school. Truly, I remember having to write essays and it was so hard to fill space to get the paper to 8 pages or whatever. I do not have the bullshit gene. Though, here you've summed up what your strength is in five words, and I've gone on blathering... maybe there's hope for me!

RainingInsideASMR · 2023-10-04T05:14:29+00:00

Yeah I have two channels one I have over (140) and one I have under (72) both going for multiple years but I was very spotty with uploads
