There are certain triggers such as:
Listen to specific people talk (usually soft-spoken, well-spoken voices or lispers)
Listen to the radio or podcasts when these people are talking.
Watch certain TV programs, or YouTube videos, like instructional ones, infomercials, adverts, historical or factual programs.
People talking in a foreign or indigenous language. Xhosa and Afrikaans are two of mine.
Get tickled lightly, especially on the back or shoulders.
When someone strokes or plays with your hair softly.
When you listen to certain soft or distant, and usually repetitive, sounds like a bouncing tennis ball, trickling water, or construction noises like tapping hammers.
Listen to types of music.

Bob Ross is another trigger as well.

Just two days back, I was talking to a friend in college when he used my notebook to describe something. I experienced it then and also many times before in school.

There is now entire culture of videos and websites dedicated to this phenomenon. Some of them are intentional videos of whispering and nail tapping etc. Many people also get from videos which are not made for inducing ASMR (and we never mention it in comments, it would freak them out).

Some of my personal favourite triggers are below. USE HEADPHONES.

My favourites (most of the times its the accent):




I feel like I experience this without actually recognizing it, especially when I listen to music or read certain things. As far as I can tell I get more of a feeling in my throat and chest, not necessarily on my head or back, I'm not sure if it's the same thing.
If she plays cranium she gives good brainium.

I think its frisson.
From r/frisson
Have you ever felt a sudden, passing sensation of excitement, a shudder of emotion from an epic moment of a song, or a climax of a movie? That is what is called "frisson", a word rooted from the French word meaning "Goosebumps" or "Shiver". It has been linked to rises in dopamine levels.

Margot killed me with that hairspray. I felt like she was my waifu doing waifu things in the bathroom and it completely fucked me up.
