I'm happy you aren't one of thoes mad fast asmrists that do the adhd videos and make them triggers fast,calm and relaxing just how I like. Thank you rift
Like how some will just click their tongues really fast while bombarding the camera with fast hand motions, as someone with adhd, it just looks like a bunch of A-holes trying to appeal to adhd fans through asmr and yet fail at it. I get it works for some of us, but others, we'd rather leave the chaos out of our comfort zones when relaxing
@@chinoyomaji288 I have adhd and those videos force my brain to shut the hell up for some reason. I wish creators would make sure you know what you’re getting into though as it obviously doesn’t work for all of us
i got sick of that trend real fast. i understand some people like the fast triggers and thats fine (i much prefer calm relaxed, sticking to a sound longer, but i also use them to zone out and sleep so high intensity is bad.) but i do feel real :/ almost icky about them being labeled as "for adhd" or "for X second attention span". like haha yeah that joke again. thats really not what it is but ok :/
honestly almost didnt click on the video because of that. not him too. but it was *Rift*. his style and pacing always vibes with what i need to relax. plus i've seen his other videos for anxiety and depression, which were really well handled. so i held hope and clicked. very happy, watching it again tonight :)
THIS is how ASMR for ADHDers should be done. Calm, relaxing. None of that fast paced chaotic madness. Those other ASMR for ADHD video creators have no idea how the ADHD brain needs calming, not chaos.
well, y'know... i think it depends on a person and it would be better if we had [both] types of asmr for adhd like, you can't just speak for everyone, dude (sorry if it sounded passive aggressive tho)
@@crrgnjf I personally struggle with chaotic messes 24/7 so someone being calm and gearing it to people with ADHD is amazing in so many ways also i feel most people with ADHD struggle with chaos seeing as ADHD in itself is a problem with staying focussed
Personally for me and my adhd I prefer the aggressive and chaotic asmr videos bc I get frustrated with slow pace and my mind starts to wonder very fast
As someone who has grown up into adulthood with severe ADHD, I can say that a lot of people tend to ignore the symptoms for adults. A lot of people told me that I would grow out of it. I appreciate this video Uncle E 👍
@@Khuros unfortunately it really only works with treatment. Just waiting for it to grow out of it doesn't work, and everyone told me it would growing up. I'm 23 and am feeling significantly better with treatment. It's all about finding the right plan for you
I got diagnosed last friday which is definately a huge coincidence. I suffered a brain bleed about 6 months ago and apparently the part of the brain that got injured is for attention, memory, that kind of stuff. So now I basically have post traumatic ADHD and they wanna try me on something mellow to see how I do, thanks so much for the videos and PLEASE wear your helmets and protect your head. Brain injuries are BRUTAL Edit: I have a weak heart so I'm not sure how I'll do with stimulants but my doctor seems hopeful, I'll probably bring it up again in a month or so. Thanks yall
That's actually a miracle compared to many people who suffer from brain injuries due to motorcycle accidents. A lot of people end up developing neurodegenerative states due to those injuries.
As someone born with severe ADD I actually find your case so incredibly fascinating. You have an insight into what it truly feels like to live with and without ADHD. My ADD is ingrained into me and it's all I've ever known, it's severely impacted and ruined many aspects of my life over the years, but I've always wondered just how much of a hold my disorder has over me, and have always wondered even if for one day what it would be like to not have this thing that clouds my brain and daily life so much
In my opinion at least, adhd needs soothing not violent stimuli. The quick ones overload me and my brain overreacts, meanwhile these put me in a nice subdued mood where I can really relax.
@@rottenapple2276 Yeah, I agree. Those chaotic, fast, and unnecessarily loud videos really only serve to overstimulate my brain, which is not what I want out of an “ADHD ASMR” video. People see “hyperactive” in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and go “yeah ok lets make the most hyperactive video we can make”
@@rottenapple2276 everyone is different! sometimes my brain is just too fast and i need something more erratic/chaotic so i have something to focus on. the slow stuff is good when i’m looking to sleep, the fast stuff is amazing when i’m overthinking or otherwise too hyperactive :)
@@elio9777 a lot of people with adhd make those types of videos actually. i think the purpose of them is for you to focus on the video which for me doesn’t really make sense cuz when i’m trying to sleep i don’t rlly wanna focus on watching a video.. it’ll just keep me up longer.. but i think those videos are fun and again for me they do keep me focused!
so much better than most adhd asmr which seems to think "adhd" means "short attention span". which it does in some cases, but for me, while i have a short attention span, i'm looking for asmr that can help me keep my attention for longer, not freak me out with 80 different sounds in a minute. (a good recommendation i can give is annura's asmr. her adhd video focuses a lot on telling the viewer to focus. and her other videos not even on adhd are very good too :))
I don't think they understand alot of people with adhd have short attention spans BECAUSE of overstimulation so it's weird they try to soothe it with chaos?
I’ve been a nightly listener for over five years now. I just want to take a moment to appreciate how consistently you provide soothing content for your audience.
even if you're not diagnosed, it means a lot that a creator i enjoy can resonate with the things i struggle with on a day to day basis. i think all that matters is that we can all synonymously address our issues and interrelate. i really appreciated the commentary about your own issues with symptoms similar to that of adhd and i'm sure many other people did too. thank you
Thank you so much for not making this video super fast-paced, I’ve seen so many other creators make “ASMR for ADHD” videos like that and it’s the most unsettling thing ever. This is great :)❤
I personally don’t have ADHD but I appreciate all of your mental health videos! I would love to see them brought back and scattered throughout, here and there, every once in a while ❤
I have ADHD, and yet just 12 minutes in and I already learned so much more about how it affects me. I thought the sentance-finishing thing was just something I did because I did, and had no idea at all that it related to ADHD! Thank you so much Uncle Rift!
THANK YOU! The trend of "ASMR for ADHD" but it's super unfriendly to many/most people with ADHD (you know the ones, different trigger every 30 seconds, all of the talking is frantic) is exhausting. It's lovely to see the concept taken seriously and thoughtfully covered.
When he pulled out the squirrel...I don't think I've ever felt so relatable, seen and understood. I'm constantly having "squirrel" moments--and sometimes they are in fact real squirrels!
This is the first ASMR video I've seen dedicated to ADHD that actually helps me and calms me! finally someone that seems to understand that we need slow and calm as opposed to fast and chaotic. Not surprised, Ephemeral Rift is just on another level. Thank you so much, this was another great video!
21:29 I like how he wanted to continue the sentence in the other ear but then got distracted and forgot to finish it, kinda going with the whole ADHD theme
People joke about people with ADHD and squirrels but one of the impulsive things I did once was buy unroasted nuts from the farmer’s market specifically to feed the squirrels on my school’s campus. After a couple of times I got caught and scolded for it, and I haven’t done it since. But for those few moments it was very nice feeling like I’d made some fluffy friends. And one of them actually does seem to recognize me now 😂
So I have pretty severe ADHD and I never realized or thought about it until your video but squirrels do actually catch my attention no matter where I am, I always find myself watching one almost the entire time if there is one in sight.
I’ve barely started but the vibe feels way more comfortable than the other ASMR ADHD videos I’ve seen, instead of it just being chaos there’s actually a mental path to things that makes sense when you have ADHD
I was literally just thinking about how ADHD ASMR got popular in recent years, and then I got this notification, and then I learned it was ADHD awareness month and I had no idea, how crazy is that ? Also I haven't finished the video yet but I just gotta say, as a 19 years old, almost 20, I struggled with ADHD symptoms all my life but I never got diagnosed for it. I know I definitely have something but it seems like my current therapist is not competent in that domain so I didn't get diagnosed even though it's the reason why I seeked a therapist in the first place. It makes me feel better at least to see that someone much older than me kinda struggle with a similar situation, and yet still went and had a rather successful life. I was kinda stressed about never getting a diagnosis and how that could impact my life negatively but I imagine I shouldn't be so worried and try to cope with it how I can. Getting a diagnosis would be nice but maybe I don't absolutely need it, especially because I don't actually 100% know I have ADHD.
A diagnosis is important to some people because it's kind of like putting a name to a face. When you know what it's called it can be easier to deal with. If you are in a situation where you are unsure why you are reacting in a certain way, having a diagnosis and being able to identify the signs can be very useful. Otherwise you might only get confused and make a bad decision. At the same time, everyone is different, and what's most important is getting familiar with yourself and your own idiosyncrasies. Two people with the same diagnosis might react in completely different ways in the exact same situation. Thinking ahead and using past experiences as a guide to present and future scenarios is crucial.
I am literally in your same boat: 19 almost 20 with ADHD like symptoms. Let me tell you I’m deathly not a doctor, but I would never want to get diagnosed because I would hate having that label even with ADHD you are still you, and you are still you well!
@@TriousSports yes, I have it and I am in the seventh fricking grade and my teachers baby me like I’m 3rd grader because of my adhd and all it does is cause mood swing, make me hyper and hard to focus but I take meds that help a lot and I pay attention and they act like I have no idea what they are saying and it pisses me off
I have strong ADHD so my brain is very active at night and it is hard to sleep so this helped me get to sleep so thank you rift, keep up the great work and keep helping others!
As someone who was never formally diagnosed with adhd because of inaccessibility, but is comfortable saying they have it because they have struggled with adhd-caused issues their entire life (executive dysfunction, attention span issues, rejection-sensitive dysphoria, the constant need to seek stimuli of any kind [verbal, physical, sensory, etc], impulsivity, forgetfulness) I just want to say thank you so much for this, it really is a blessing. ASMR is *the* way I get my brain to quiet down and focus in on what I need to get done. So thank you. This is truly a gift. Edit: and it was perfectly timed, too, I was just settling in to write stuff. Forgot to mention that lol
... I'm old enough that when I was a kid ADHD wasn't a thing, nor was therapy in general, certainly not for guys. and when you're already in your thirties by the time society has normalized it you don't really think "okay, and now to find out what's been wrong with me all this time". so I kind of only really knew ADHD by what the name itself implies, and like whatever, I love to sit, how could I be hyperactive? ... I have every symptom you just mentioned to a significant degree... I just didn't know what a "4" is to solve "2+2=?"... I should maybe talk to a person who can prescribe adderall about this...
@@Fraxxxi I definitely recommend talking to a therapist if you can!!!! And it's never too late to go and get tested, so you can access support systems for people facing the same issues as you!
Congrats on trying Rimworld! Been a fan for years now, and I can attest that it is incredible I think you will enjoy it's story generating elements a lot. It's a very rewarding and fun game to explore and experiment in. You can really let your creativity shine (especially with the 3 splentastic DLC!) Oh and on finding the perfect starting people - I have not seen a single person who doesn't do that, it is a very universal experience xd
I was diagnosed with ADHD last year on my 18th birthday, it definitely has been a process, realising some things about my childhood and learning about hyperfocusing on certain subjects. Thank you so so much for this video Uncle E. Yours vids are always a relief to my fidgety mind 😴
Rift I’d like to say that I have a problem with my temper as well have since I xan remember, small things, everything. Sets me off so to hear you say you’ve been though something similar rlly is great to hear since I’ve watched your videos for years and they have helped me sleep and even get though some tough things going on in my life. I just had to pause the video and share that
So every now and again, I like to kick back with some good old Mary Jane(responsibly) and watch your videos. Its always a very enjoyable experience and very calming but this video was an absolute roller coaster. 10/10 best one yet
waaaait i’m absolutely obsessed w the trash bag asmr and how it kinda blends into the background. feels like i’m getting asmr directly from the void 🌀⚫️🌀
Don't worry man. Even I didn't know it was ADHD month. We know that you try with your best intentions in mind. If my godawful memory has anything to say about it, we probably would've forgotten too lol. We appreciate your calming stance on ADHD content making instead of absolute chaos.
As someone with adhd I love the intermissions in the questionnaire I love questionnaire asmr but always skip through and stuff like that but the intermissions kept it refreshing
Thanks for making this video for us Uncle-E, hugely appreciate you. I’m sorry to hear how heavily you can relate to the ADHD experience but I’m glad you’re doing better with it; gives us hope
@@Dioedd Indeed agree his content quality is high other asmrtist also have high quality content but unfortunately they don't know how to use triggers & he knows very well that how to use triggers brilliantly not like others who use triggers fastly that's the difference & that's why he is the king of ASMR community.
such good vibes in this one! brings me back to the "mrs. pineapple", and the cantaloupe videos from ages ago. i watched those a lot. always grateful you're who you are and making unique, clever, insightful chill videos for people all over the world like me. they've made my life much better... cheers uncle E
The thing which I really related to in this video is perfectionism. I struggle almost everyday with it; I want to act perfectly and for things to go well. I know that it isn't possible but I can't seem to shake it off. Sometimes its a constant buzz of thoughts about having to succeed and do everything right. I'm just happy to hear I'm not the only one :)
Finally someone that gets it right, so many years of cringe, fast, unwatchable videos clearly showed that they didn't really do the research or care enough to put that effort into the video. Thank you for this.
I was diagnosed with ADD and ADHD, which is the same thing now as a kid. Me and my friend from school still have it. I got migraines and my brain would simply lock up trying to do schoolwork, I couldn't sit still in a classroom. so I preferred listening to how to do math and such over using a book. It helped some, but I was a bad kid until High School since I couldn't get into the work and got frustrated. The terrible nearsightedness didn't help with the migraines either, I didn't get glasses until I was 15 and worked a job.
Figures my birth month is also ADHD awareness month. Lol. I'm 35 now. Got diagnosed when I was in like 3rd grade. Had to take a massive amount of Ritalin as a kid.... coincidentally, about 3 days ago, one of my managers asked if I had ADHD. When I asked why, she said she had just seen me start, stop, and start 10 different things in about 2 minutes. Said it was impressively chaotic to watch.. I was so happy when I discovered ASMR. Makes my brain all fuzzy, slow, and calm. I've loved you're channel for a long time. Thank you so much for all you do!
as someone who lives with moderate to severe adhd, thank you very much uncle E 🖤🖤🖤 i appreciate the intro and relating to the viewer. adhd or not lots of people got some shit going on up there, it's good to remember we all got our struggles:)
Uncle rift is literally the duality of man One second he could be dropping the most filisofical theory ever with amazing arguments And other second he could go "Mm firetruck dingdingdingdingdingdididnging"
The fizzy sounds made my brain feel warm and tingly. An odd sensation, because I don't really expierence asmr, but in that moment, i felt the tingles 0-0
Literally I can’t stand the fact that every asmrtist always makes adhd videos super fast and aggressive and say it’s because we can’t pay attention. Like I genuinely feel like it’s offensive, a stereotype of a mental illness. Like yes attention deficit is in the name but it’s different for different people. Most of the time people with adhd cannot focus because there is outside stimulation preventing us from being able to focus. Thank you for this video I loved it.
Family doctor I had growing up tried convincing my parents that ADHD and ADD isn’t real. I deal with both of those severely, and have never seen someone actually understand what it’s like, and watching people fake it annoys me. This however, was a masterpiece.
Finally a nice slow and calm one god damn thanks rift I hate who think ASMR for ADHD is fast and chaotic I hate those ones can't focus for a minute so thanks you for not being like them other ASMR artist
been feeling really stressed lately (a lot of the stress has to do with my adhd) and when i saw the notification for this i knew i had to watch it so glad you didnt go the route everyone else goes down where its just really fast paced. personally i find fast paced stuff makes my adhd worse. the constant switching of topics and items and the unexpectedness of it all was just perfect also its adhd awareness month????????????????
To whoever is reading this I hope you have an amazing day/night and no you’re not a exception no matter who you are or what you believe in so don’t let anyone tell you that.
For anyone with ADHD, autism or something similar, here is a blank canvas for those who like to watch the small video size, but get distracted by the text: You're welcome! Happy relaxing. ^-^

ive been vibing soooo hard to this video (i was so happy to see the atari controller come back) and then u mentioned the perfectionist thing thats something i struggle with hardcore and it was one of the reasons i eventually realized that im autistic ! for me i definitely say it comes from my being autistic but thats def not to say for others it cant be their adhd or whatnot

As someone who was never formally diagnosed with adhd because of inaccessibility, but is comfortable saying they have it because they have struggled with adhd-caused issues their entire life (executive dysfunction, attention span issues, rejection-sensitive dysphoria, the constant need to seek stimuli of any kind [verbal, physical, sensory, etc], impulsivity, forgetfulness) I just want to say thank you so much for this, it really is a blessing. ASMR is *the* way I get my brain to quiet down and focus in on what I need to get done. So thank you. This is truly a gift.
Edit: and it was perfectly timed, too, I was just settling in to write stuff. Forgot to mention that lol
Question do you read WoF?
... I'm old enough that when I was a kid ADHD wasn't a thing, nor was therapy in general, certainly not for guys. and when you're already in your thirties by the time society has normalized it you don't really think "okay, and now to find out what's been wrong with me all this time". so I kind of only really knew ADHD by what the name itself implies, and like whatever, I love to sit, how could I be hyperactive? ... I have every symptom you just mentioned to a significant degree... I just didn't know what a "4" is to solve "2+2=?"... I should maybe talk to a person who can prescribe adderall about this...
@@Just_Another_Femboy Yes, actually!!!! It was one of my Big Interests (TM) a while back!!!
@@Fraxxxi I definitely recommend talking to a therapist if you can!!!! And it's never too late to go and get tested, so you can access support systems for people facing the same issues as you!

Congrats on trying Rimworld!
Been a fan for years now, and I can attest that it is incredible
I think you will enjoy it's story generating elements a lot. It's a very rewarding and fun game to explore and experiment in. You can really let your creativity shine (especially with the 3 splentastic DLC!)
Oh and on finding the perfect starting people - I have not seen a single person who doesn't do that, it is a very universal experience xd
I played a lot before the DLCs came out, i need to return some day and get my war crimes up to date.
@@TheAlguien Theres new war crimes in stock! Controlling genetics, Children you could potentially steal all that type of stuff
Damn, I'd love some rimworld themed videos from Uncle E. The lore of the game is damn cool.
i have been watching The Grim Kleapers Rimworld videos, i think imma start over the weekend. also ADHD gang anyone?
Those were some of the best tingles I've had in a while... Thank you for that.
I was diagnosed with ADHD last year on my 18th birthday, it definitely has been a process, realising some things about my childhood and learning about hyperfocusing on certain subjects. Thank you so so much for this video Uncle E. Yours vids are always a relief to my fidgety mind 😴
Rift I’d like to say that I have a problem with my temper as well have since I xan remember, small things, everything. Sets me off so to hear you say you’ve been though something similar rlly is great to hear since I’ve watched your videos for years and they have helped me sleep and even get though some tough things going on in my life. I just had to pause the video and share that
So every now and again, I like to kick back with some good old Mary Jane(responsibly) and watch your videos. Its always a very enjoyable experience and very calming but this video was an absolute roller coaster. 10/10 best one yet
waaaait i’m absolutely obsessed w the trash bag asmr and how it kinda blends into the background. feels like i’m getting asmr directly from the void 🌀⚫️🌀
Im really happy about this video, you really somehow understand the way I feel about a lot of things
Don't worry man. Even I didn't know it was ADHD month. We know that you try with your best intentions in mind. If my godawful memory has anything to say about it, we probably would've forgotten too lol. We appreciate your calming stance on ADHD content making instead of absolute chaos.
As someone with adhd I love the intermissions in the questionnaire
I love questionnaire asmr but always skip through and stuff like that but the intermissions kept it refreshing
This is truly the best ADHD video(or even video) of all time
Thanks for making this video for us Uncle-E, hugely appreciate you. I’m sorry to hear how heavily you can relate to the ADHD experience but I’m glad you’re doing better with it; gives us hope
No matter that you've less subscribers you're the king 👑 of ASMR for sure no doubt none of the other asmrtist can compete with you.
fact always providing high quality content
@@Dioedd Indeed agree his content quality is high other asmrtist also have high quality content but unfortunately they don't know how to use triggers & he knows very well that how to use triggers brilliantly not like others who use triggers fastly that's the difference & that's why he is the king of ASMR community.
I absolutely adore this video. Keep coming back to it a lot atm. Extreme comfort for someone who has adhd. (And ocd)
such good vibes in this one! brings me back to the "mrs. pineapple", and the cantaloupe videos from ages ago. i watched those a lot. always grateful you're who you are and making unique, clever, insightful chill videos for people all over the world like me. they've made my life much better... cheers uncle E
As an avid member of the ADHD community I am very glad that my favorite asmrist has dedicated a whole video to us.
The thing which I really related to in this video is perfectionism. I struggle almost everyday with it; I want to act perfectly and for things to go well. I know that it isn't possible but I can't seem to shake it off. Sometimes its a constant buzz of thoughts about having to succeed and do everything right. I'm just happy to hear I'm not the only one :)
Finally someone that gets it right, so many years of cringe, fast, unwatchable videos clearly showed that they didn't really do the research or care enough to put that effort into the video. Thank you for this.
I think we’d all luv to see a chill vid on u talking about ur childhood stories and adventures that would be dope.
Luv ur content.
Wow. I’m even more of a fan of yours. I can relate to this so well. Thank you Rift!
As a boy with ADHD I know I will find this video pleasing.
Recently diagnosed here and it made a lot of small things I do make sense in what I do haha.
Thanks for this Rift mate. Hope you're well
I was diagnosed with ADD and ADHD, which is the same thing now as a kid. Me and my friend from school still have it. I got migraines and my brain would simply lock up trying to do schoolwork, I couldn't sit still in a classroom. so I preferred listening to how to do math and such over using a book. It helped some, but I was a bad kid until High School since I couldn't get into the work and got frustrated. The terrible nearsightedness didn't help with the migraines either, I didn't get glasses until I was 15 and worked a job.
Figures my birth month is also ADHD awareness month. Lol. I'm 35 now. Got diagnosed when I was in like 3rd grade. Had to take a massive amount of Ritalin as a kid.... coincidentally, about 3 days ago, one of my managers asked if I had ADHD. When I asked why, she said she had just seen me start, stop, and start 10 different things in about 2 minutes. Said it was impressively chaotic to watch..
I was so happy when I discovered ASMR. Makes my brain all fuzzy, slow, and calm. I've loved you're channel for a long time. Thank you so much for all you do!
as someone who lives with moderate to severe adhd, thank you very much uncle E 🖤🖤🖤 i appreciate the intro and relating to the viewer. adhd or not lots of people got some shit going on up there, it's good to remember we all got our struggles:)
Different from others I’ve seen I still love fast paced ones but I like how calm this is
I don't know if I have adhd but for some reason those adhd asmrs are most relaxing for me, thank you for the video!
Have a good now everyone.
Well now I don't wanna do it 😂 (jk)
Thank you for sharing your presence with us, Uncle Rift. Much love and gratitude.🙏🏽
31:54 OMG that flask is so beautiful it's like a magic potion vial, and the sounds were good, please make such sounds longer!
This and the SCP asmrs are now my favorite videos on RUclips...thank you very much
"Are you easily distracted by activity or noise arround you?" while the bag crinckles off to the side. Too perfect.
You have no idea how long I've been waiting i love you
For some reason I love fans they really relax me
Uncle rift is literally the duality of man
One second he could be dropping the most filisofical theory ever with amazing arguments
And other second he could go
"Mm firetruck dingdingdingdingdingdididnging"
i enjoy that you say “Good Now” and not good evening or good morning.. i do not know why i enjoy “Good Now”, i just do. very lovely :)
I loved this. Even though it drive me mad that you sometimes didn't finish your thoughts. I adored it
I was diagnosed with ADHD about 2-3 years ago. It's definitely an experience, for lack of a better term. But I get by.
The fizzy sounds made my brain feel warm and tingly. An odd sensation, because I don't really expierence asmr, but in that moment, i felt the tingles 0-0
Literally I can’t stand the fact that every asmrtist always makes adhd videos super fast and aggressive and say it’s because we can’t pay attention. Like I genuinely feel like it’s offensive, a stereotype of a mental illness. Like yes attention deficit is in the name but it’s different for different people. Most of the time people with adhd cannot focus because there is outside stimulation preventing us from being able to focus. Thank you for this video I loved it.
The fake laugh at 57:40 with the trash bag actually made me laugh out loud hahaha
20:06 THE GOOD THING BEGINS
Thank you. I have ADHD and Asperger Syndrome. Always loved this channel
That segway in to the dodgeball quote is why I'll always love you the most
Family doctor I had growing up tried convincing my parents that ADHD and ADD isn’t real. I deal with both of those severely, and have never seen someone actually understand what it’s like, and watching people fake it annoys me. This however, was a masterpiece.
Finally a nice slow and calm one god damn thanks rift I hate who think ASMR for ADHD is fast and chaotic I hate those ones can't focus for a minute so thanks you for not being like them other ASMR artist
Best ASMR I’ve had for ages, thank u ER
i have 2 moods when i watch these videos, sleepy or happy
Thanks Uncle E I was just getting ready for bed and I have ADHD so this helped out a lot.
ever since i watched the tiny hands video i cant tell if his hands are normal sized or not
Finally, a video that truly speaks to me.
been feeling really stressed lately (a lot of the stress has to do with my adhd) and when i saw the notification for this i knew i had to watch it
so glad you didnt go the route everyone else goes down where its just really fast paced. personally i find fast paced stuff makes my adhd worse. the constant switching of topics and items and the unexpectedness of it all was just perfect
also its adhd awareness month????????????????
To whoever is reading this I hope you have an amazing day/night and no you’re not a exception no matter who you are or what you believe in so don’t let anyone tell you that.
U too bro
serial killers when they read this: 🥹
@@miles3880 there are no exceptions
oh nice timing, my appointment for an adult re-assessment for ADHD is tomorrow, thanks for the reminder.
That fan sounds so nice. You could have a video of it just oscillating between the microphones and repeat it for like an hour and I’d pass out.
For anyone with ADHD, autism or something similar, here is a blank canvas for those who like to watch the small video size, but get distracted by the text:
You're welcome! Happy relaxing. ^-^
THANK YOU ❤❤❤ i’ve left a lot of blank space comments elsewhere on asmr yt so i have them for myself, it is so nice to find them in the wild
@@Badookum I'm so sorryyyy. (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀) I shouldn't laugh, but your comment is so amazing, haha... ahhh.
@@ceramictooth Funny thing is, I actually saw someone else doing one and realized how useful they are, given that I easily get distracted by the text too. I sometimes just get tingles when watching the small video size. Glad I was able to help. ^-^
the squirrel part made me think you knew who I was, this video genuinely helps me feel someone cares about what's going on in this chaotic brain
I didn't realize how hard I related until I followed the squirrel as he moved it talking about the game 😂
Rift really is the Bob Ross of ASMR
ive had ADHD since i can remember and this video was awesome and i learned something because i never knew October was ADHD awareness month
Loved this video! Definately in my top 10 favorites of all asmr time!
It's my birthday today! 🎉 Thank you ER for the birthday ASMR, keep being splentastic ❤
I think ASMR is good for people with ADHD calming relaxing it helps your brain unwind.
This channel feels very underrated
context switching is the mind killer
Rift you are the best asmrtist I saw
How am i supposed to relax when suddenly at 32:17 Rift says "sorry... I've never asked u if u liked sushi" lmao
As someone who has very bad ADHD, I aprrove. But actually this is one of the best ones out there.
Really enjoyed this one, keeps me relaxed and not overthinking so mutch 😮💨😌
i have mild autism, and i don’t have any troubles with anything pretty much, but i’m still listening to this because this guy is a saint.
ive been vibing soooo hard to this video (i was so happy to see the atari controller come back) and then u mentioned the perfectionist thing
thats something i struggle with hardcore and it was one of the reasons i eventually realized that im autistic ! for me i definitely say it comes from my being autistic but thats def not to say for others it cant be their adhd or whatnot
This really calmed my OCD, ADHD, and my Tourette’s.
as a person with adhd im currently watch about to procrastinate my exam reviews but this really helps ER!!
