Summary
Young adults increasingly seek refuge in autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) videos when feeling overwhelmed by in-person interaction, according to a new report from Revealing Reality.
The study found younger generations (18-44) are significantly more likely to feel overstimulated by social situations and noisy environments compared to older adults.
While ASMR content—videos triggering calming “tingles” through whispers, tapping sounds, and gentle movements—provides immediate comfort, experts worry this “digital soma” may prevent developing real-world resilience skills.
Ok, its not your fault. Better now?
The problem still exists and still is real. Lots of people are hiding behind screens fearful even to interact with others through other means then text and chat apps.
Thats not good. Thats a problem.
