@@sodomizer5784 same but sometimes its nice to hug a friend.,,,.., hold a loved one.,,.,., make out with a stranger,..,, least for me just bc im aro doesnt mean i dont like physical attention
This is going to sound awful but Holy crap did this give me some kind of feelings. And no I dont mean sexual. I lived my whole life without any of my parents hugging me or really giving me love in general. I realized while watching this video how emotionally detached I am when it comes to physical love and positive affirmations. People laugh at Asmr but it's honestly really helped me overcome a lot of hurdles I've had with my ptsd...
I am so sorry.....perhaps they didn't know how to love but either way you deserve lots of hugs love and all the physical affection you can get *hugs warmly* I hope things work out between you and in the meantime that you find people who will make you feel loved valid and appreciated
Does anyone else wake up every day either believing it has all been a dream or forgetting completely? This is such a lovely way to gently comfort as the realisation hits. Mornings have become such an anxiety trap and this helped a lot, thank you Jim. Stay safe everyone xx
Most definitely...then that horrible, sinking realization sets in that this is real, and not going away anytime soon. Jim's videos are so helpful! Hang in there...
Yes , I think, oh I should go to park then realize no! You are trapped in your home. I keep panicking over bills.....like no work no money no home.... it has been exhausting just waiting for it to just stop be normal again. I live a rather bland unexceptional life but I was happy. This waiting for doom and the news, good grief I can’t with the news.
@@JasperCatProductions can totally relate to that. Are you in the UK? I really hope that jobs and rent etc will be supported in such an unsettled time! Hope you're doing okay, we will all get through this together 🥰
@@cassiopeiadee9306 yeah it's definitely something I never saw coming, I'm making sure to write little "to-do" lists every day to keep feeling productive and positive, and remembering all the things I can be grateful for (thank God for the internet!) Stay safe xz
I just realised that im all alone.. my friends moved on.. and i only socialise with my family.. here i am. Crying in bed. Wishing that someday i got that something that i could treasure the most..
Why do I have the feeling that, whoever is loved by this kind man (friend, family, partner), is a very very very lucky person? He seems so sweet, and such a good listener... I just can't help thinking that. Lovely video, Jim 💜

Jim, this was absolute bliss. I have never felt physically happy and warm from an ASMR video before. I felt emotionally connected in an incredible way. Thank you for all the cuddles and kisses. Thanks to your reassurance I feel like I can actually do this. I’ve been feeling very anxious and trying to hold it together for my family, some of whom are very far away. I have an extremely ill sister, a dad with dementia and a nephew with crippling OCD. I will be recommending this video to them. I’m starting to feel like your subscribers are more of a community than just a bunch of people who like role play ASMR. To anyone reading this I send love and cuddles and good vibes.

Vesta, do you happen to be an INTJ? (Meyers-Briggs personality type). If so, find yourself an ENFP partner or friend. They'll know instinctively when to initiate physical touch and how without being overwhelming. We're very comforting that way! 😉
Dream Of Coheed oh it’s cool that you thought about it this way :) I’m actually INFP, but I still agree with you that ENFP are good for me! One of my best friends is ENFP and she always knows when to push me and touch me and when to just let me be.
Andrea B What a dear! I might take you up on that. I’m starting to see figures in the yellow wallpaper, and I know that’s not good 🤔 I’m generally always alone, but seldom lonely...maybe one day out of every fifty...not too shabby! But I realize that’s because when I’m at work typically 12 hours a day, coming home to peace and silence is welcoming. After being stuck in it for two weeks, however, it has lost its appeal. I’ve taken to talking quite a lot to myself now...but I hear that’s okay so long as don’t start answering myself 😉
Ariel_Grey29 I understand! I love my peace and quiet but if that’s all I’ve been having it gets old. I think I’m in trouble because I answer myself all the time 😂😂. Virtual Hugs for you 🤗🤗🤗
You seem like such a lovely person, Jim. Your kindness and warmth comes through in your videos, even the ones that are a little more strange (which I still love). I really enjoyed the casual nature of this one, it’s a nice change of pace from my stressful job in the ER and the constant bombardment of negative media/energy that seems to be all around these days. It’s nice to have more positive places like this to come to. I appreciate that consent is a theme in many of your videos too. Thank you for what you do and for being you 💗✌🏻 take care!
i come back to this and other such videos everytime i feel bad to the point of giving up on everything, im bursting out into tears every single time i watch it, its like free therapy, it feels as if it was actually healing me in some way. watching these videos is the thing that always helps me out and cheers me up. where i cant speak up to anybody about my problems, troubles and such and have nobody i can count on to comfort me, theres always this channel which makes all the pain go away. all of the content makes me feel loved and cared for, fulfilling all my needs and making me smile over and over again. thank you for creating this channel, for all the creative content and the effort and heart put in these videos for all the subscribers. all of you are doing an amazing job guys.
Jimchi With all the virus stuff and also a lot of really scary personal stuff happening I can't even tell you how much this means. I have no idea how you make the hugs feel so real but I swear I could listen to this for hours it's so unbelievably comforting and soothing Thank you ❤
I feel like if anything positive has come from this, it's that we're all learning to be a little bit more kind, a little more community focussed, and it's genuinely so lovely to experience xxx
@@optimistic1996 I 100% agree. My biggest wish is that we can make it through this and that people will learn from this to still be kinder and community focused, even when it's all over ♡
I really have a hard time with physical contact, especially when it comes to my fellow humans. It is humid and gross and sticky and people always just assumes it is okay to touch me out of the blue despite me flinching every time it happens. But not in this video. Here I AM in control. Not only did I seek out this video, but I can leave whenever I want. I can pause to take a deep breath when I start feeling uncomftreble, and you keep telling me I am in control. I kinda use this like therapy. I may not wanna touch other humans, but it would be really nice to be able to handle my cat falling asleep on my chest for a few minutes without having to push her off. Thank you so much for this chanse to fully cuddle my cat!!
My autistic-ass brain: "I will not study, I will not study, I will not study--" Me: "How 'bout if we listen to the soothing British guy while we do it?" My brain: "....I'm listening."
Awww this video is extremley cute ❤ Btw.. Anyone out there who is still healty: please dont forget, there might be old people in your neighbourhood too that are alone and have no one left who cares for them.. they might be walking disabled or phisically to weak to go shopping by themselves and these people might be without food right now and urgently need our help... so if someones out there daredevil enough, go and annoy the old granny from next door and ask her if she needs food or help.. most old people will not have the guts to ask by themselves because they feel too shy.
im autistic and asmr really lets me feel comfortable with things that would usually give me sensory overload and your content makes me feel super re;ived so i just wanted to say thank you
As someone who suffers from extreme anxiety that often prevents me from sleep, your videos are one of the few things that knock me out. Thank you for your hard work ❤
Just a vent I have a very close friend and we are very affectionate to eachother, hugs cuddles, her just poking my face to make me laugh and I grew to always know that every one in my friend group at my school can and will give me any affection. Physical or just verbal. But since the break I haven't been able to hug her for over three weeks, let alone see her. I only text her. I try to compensate for the loss of physical affection from my family but none are interested in hugging or atleast giving me verbal affection. This video was a complete emotion trip for me. I legitimately cried. Thank you so much.
We're so lucky to have you. Thank you so much for making me cry a minute in and giving all the relaxation and tingles. (The gentle jingles of your necklaces have to be one of my favorite sounds lately.)
You.... Your heart...... Your soul..... Your sensibility.......... Your love for us...... The world is not so horrible if you have Jim in your ears..... Thanks... Just......... Thanks ❤️
I was just watching a couple of your Doctor Roberts videos last night because you're so good at triggering the close-up feels, and then to see this new one's title excited me like little else has in this troubling time. My favorite part was the untimed breathing at 12:37--I personally find timed breathing a little stressful, but this moment of naturally breathing together, and the sounds of your varied breaths, was so very calming and deeply connecting, would love to see an extended version of this sometime. My other fave was the face cupping and touching section at 16:01, especially 16:44 on and that eye contact. So very digitally intimate. Enjoyed how you handled the sirens (amazed there's still so much traffic there tho!)...pause, acknowledge, take control, and move on. The focus on control throughout was lovely, and a little blushy. ;D Ahhhh that voice and diction of yours, never tire of it! Much gratitude for this special video, helping so many of us!
This was truly beautiful, so thoughtful and timely, and a wonderful reminder for self-care. I will be rewatching this often, for that reminder. Thank you, Jim.
I truly wish so much you would make an updated video just like this one. This truly helps my panic attacks, and also makes me feel that I can connect more with people and not be so scared. Your sincerity in this video make this such a truly beautiful and much needed blessing in these times. Thank you so very much
Honestly, even when you're not playing a knight... you still feel like a knight to me. I hope you're looking after your own mental health too. Thanks for this, and never hesitate to reach out to us if you feel like you need your own boost. This community has your back.
I feel like you're the kind of person that never has and never will fail a vibe check. You, even through a screen, give me that feeling of not being alone. We need more people like you.
I wasn't upset or worried but my God that holding and back rubbing part was so soothing I love how calming you are jim I was like "never let go!" Being held by someone so handsome, kind and warm was wonderful
You really do have powers, Jim! Because here I am, waiting for my mother who is currently undergoing surgery (to hopefully rid her of cancer), and you came as a blessing and gave me a much needed boost of hope and faith. 🤗 Being someone who constantly feels insecure, and struggling with mental illness, I've been trying to support her and comfort her as best as I can, but... I definitely needed some of that support and comfort as well. It's like you charged my batteries for the day! Thank you so much for this! ♡ 🙏
I know this video is quite old (by UA-cam standards) but I needed a cuddle last night and the reassurance that everything is going to be ok. While I realize this was meant for a very anxious time in particular, I feel it us timeless. I am, as always, impressed by your eloquence and very grateful for what you do. Thank you ❤
I just discovered this community a little while ago, so I’m playing major catch up here. But, I just want to say how absolutely beautiful this video is and, given the timing of it, how very worthwhile and necessary it was. Even now, at the end of the terrible times of isolation and loneliness that the pandemic did to us all, it’s so wonderful to be reminded that we’re all in control, and everything will be ok. Thank you, Jim.
Reading the comments feeling that same overwhelming sense of thankfulness as everyone else. You are a sweet, caring man and you HELP people. Actually help. You need to know that and be proud of that. And I agree with them; your husband is a lucky man. Thank you for making us feel precious.
"You are in complete control of the situation" Thank you for this! I've never heard such a phrase in any ASMR video before, but that is such a comforting phrase. Especially in the context of touching! I feel so at ease 🙏
Recovering at home after surgery, I was feeling so sad and then I woke up to this lovely video! Made me smile and stopped the tears :) you are amazing, Thank you so much
I love that you decided to post a video with positive vibes, I saw a lot of ASMRtists doing 'testing for the virus' roleplays, and that's the opposite of what's needed. Thank You for giving us an amazing content again 💖
This is so perfect and so needed right now. Like a lot of people, I've been touch starved because of the quarantine and this really helped. The part during the massage where you said the things about how the viewer controls the situation and can stop if they want almost made me cry! I've been through a sexual assault and am still mentally recovering from it, so hearing that caught me off guard! Great job, Jim, and thank you!
This video made me realise how touch starved I actually am.. the household that I live in isn't the best due to all the fighting, screaming & door slamming/kicking that goes on nearly every day. It's rather depressing that I have been dealing with this ever since I was 4 years old (basically for 10 years already.), I didn't deserve to deal with this at such a young age. I'm truly glad that you made this video, it makes me feel so much better whenever I feel horrible. Thank you, Jim. 🧡
I’m sorry you have to experience that, same situation here but it’s getting a bit better for me. I hope you can heal and find a place where you feel safe. Sending hugs from Australia. 💛
I just recently found your channel but.. I wanted to let you know your voice is amazing. Your videos that I have watched so far have made me feel like the only person in the world. So calm and relaxed. Thank you so much for what your doing, your amazing ❤️❤️
This is the most relaxed I have been in months. Thank you for gifting me the ability to rest this morning. I feel saved. I didn’t expect to feel the hug, or realize how much I needed it. Massively thankful for the magic of Asmr and also the magic that is Jim. Thank you sir.
Honestly...same. This social isolation has really highlighted how starved most of us are for human contact and connection. 😭 I can't even remember the last time somebody showed me more than 0.5 seconds of platonic physical affection.
"First, if it's ok with you," YES, Absolutely YES. Are we not supposed to fall for this man? We are but mere mortals! I feel like the state of loving Jim is so universal at this point it's become archetypal. He is timeless, our affection for him is timeless. We will speak of Jim in the future and people will just nod knowingly. It's weirdly comforting knowing we all feel so much collective love and appreciation, especially when he drops a new video and we're all absolutely swooning together. It all just makes sense. Thank you so much for all you do. ❤️
Thank you so much for doing this... I’ve been touch-starved for a long time and being given that comfort from someone is really something else. 😅 Every time I smiled, you smiled too. You’re such a kind soul. Thank you for making my day better. 💖
It is so calming to listen to you talking and seeing you smile😊 And this before going to sleep, is just another level of feeling comfortable. I'm feeling so safe thank you so much🥰
I lost my mother last year and i want you to know that your content has helped heal my soul. I have melted when i thought it impossible. You have given me the closeness i never knew i needed. I have went months burying everything and not paying much attention to myself. Just trying to hold everyone else together. Not many ppl consider me for being in need pf comfort or there when im in need. Your voice is like magic....manna for the broken and lonely. You have helped me when i was close to the "jumping off" point
when he went in for a hug, I actually cried. times have been tough and I really needed a person to comfort me, even if it was through a screen. thank you so much jim...may life bless you and to others who may be going through a rough patch in their lives, it'll be okay, you're not alone.
aayyee lemme just share that im extremely reluctant on physical contact towards males but at the ssame time i yearn to be hug and cared for by a man in a not sexual way but a gentle affectionate way but the problem is i have major trust issues and i loathe physical contact so this warms my heart in so many levels. thank you jim
This is definitely my favorite video. I am more transported into a multi-layered, virtual reality (hugging Jim!) than what any of the other roleplays have to offer. On a purely auditory note, the constant sound of the backrub and simultaneous pep talk feels incredibly engaging. When I really *must* get more calm, this is the best video on youtube. Being able to see Jim’s more natural features and mannerisms is super cool of course too. Hooo, he’s asking me to breathe with him now, gotta go.
depression and insomenia at max levels, pain from disabkilities bad, in comes Jim saves the day finally relax and feel so much better. Honestly this vieo is better than my therapy lol, I feel much better after your asmr, just healing in ways you dont even realise thank you good sir.
This is such a kind idea. I’m lucky enough to be quarantined with a loved one (honestly I could use a little more distance lol) but I’ve been really worrying about people who are stuck inside alone in these anxious times.
slight trigger warning i'm actually genuinely crying because of this- this video makes me feel so safe. growing up, i've often been inappropriately touched by some very bad people without my consent, and you asking me if you can touch me or not and even reassuring me ab it is just- it's making me feel so happy and safe- this is the type of affection i've longed for ever since i was just 7 so i'd just like to say thank you, this really made my day you have no idea how much this video means to me
hey jim! I just wanted to say that as someone who's gone through some traumatic situations, you constantly reassuring us that we're In Control is so comforting to me, and a huge help, so thank you for the lovely content
The past few days whenever I feel too anxious to sleep, I watch this video. The hug at the beginning always makes me feel like a weight has been lifted off me. Thank you for this source of comfort in these times
Everyone: yo that was the best asmr experience I've ever had in my life Me: falls asleep in the first minute, has no idea what's going on in the video, has no opinion on it's contents, enjoys it anyways

Andrea B Hopefully all the answers are kind, lol. Hugs back 🤗🤗🤗
You seem like such a lovely person, Jim. Your kindness and warmth comes through in your videos, even the ones that are a little more strange (which I still love). I really enjoyed the casual nature of this one, it’s a nice change of pace from my stressful job in the ER and the constant bombardment of negative media/energy that seems to be all around these days. It’s nice to have more positive places like this to come to. I appreciate that consent is a theme in many of your videos too.
Thank you for what you do and for being you 💗✌🏻 take care!
Katie thanks for being on the front lines out there. Your bravery is inspiring and heartwarming. You’re now one of my heroes ❤️❤️❤️❤️
GlitterZombi Chronicles That is incredibly kind of you to say, I appreciate the support ❤️
He's mine woman!😄🌹🐇
i come back to this and other such videos everytime i feel bad to the point of giving up on everything, im bursting out into tears every single time i watch it, its like free therapy, it feels as if it was actually healing me in some way. watching these videos is the thing that always helps me out and cheers me up. where i cant speak up to anybody about my problems, troubles and such and have nobody i can count on to comfort me, theres always this channel which makes all the pain go away. all of the content makes me feel loved and cared for, fulfilling all my needs and making me smile over and over again. thank you for creating this channel, for all the creative content and the effort and heart put in these videos for all the subscribers. all of you are doing an amazing job guys.
I do the same, this is my favorite video of his
This is just perfect timing for this kind of video. Especially in times like this.
Three years later and this is still one of my favorite go-to feel good ASMRs. Jim really has a special touch
I just arrived to this channel and this ones my new favorites, too.
Jimchi
With all the virus stuff and also a lot of really scary personal stuff happening I can't even tell you how much this means. I have no idea how you make the hugs feel so real but I swear I could listen to this for hours it's so unbelievably comforting and soothing
Thank you ❤
I hope you're okay, please reach out to someone if you're struggling ♥️ xx
@@optimistic1996 this is a really nice comment, thank you ♡
I feel like if anything positive has come from this, it's that we're all learning to be a little bit more kind, a little more community focussed, and it's genuinely so lovely to experience xxx
@@optimistic1996 I 100% agree. My biggest wish is that we can make it through this and that people will learn from this to still be kinder and community focused, even when it's all over ♡
I really have a hard time with physical contact, especially when it comes to my fellow humans. It is humid and gross and sticky and people always just assumes it is okay to touch me out of the blue despite me flinching every time it happens.
But not in this video. Here I AM in control. Not only did I seek out this video, but I can leave whenever I want. I can pause to take a deep breath when I start feeling uncomftreble, and you keep telling me I am in control.
I kinda use this like therapy. I may not wanna touch other humans, but it would be really nice to be able to handle my cat falling asleep on my chest for a few minutes without having to push her off.
Thank you so much for this chanse to fully cuddle my cat!!
Jim making me swoon for 20 minutes straight.
Jim: "Sorry, I didn't mean to pick you up. 😂"
Oh my god. ❤️
Oh my goodness, your smile is so contagious and makes me smile back like a fool 😍😊
This is honestly really beautiful. Platonic care and sincere comfort is severely underrated.
My autistic-ass brain: "I will not study, I will not study, I will not study--"
Me: "How 'bout if we listen to the soothing British guy while we do it?"
My brain: "....I'm listening."
Awww this video is extremley cute ❤ Btw.. Anyone out there who is still healty: please dont forget, there might be old people in your neighbourhood too that are alone and have no one left who cares for them.. they might be walking disabled or phisically to weak to go shopping by themselves and these people might be without food right now and urgently need our help... so if someones out there daredevil enough, go and annoy the old granny from next door and ask her if she needs food or help.. most old people will not have the guts to ask by themselves because they feel too shy.
"You are okay."
And you, Jim, are simply a lovely person. Thank you so much for this and for all you do.
im autistic and asmr really lets me feel comfortable with things that would usually give me sensory overload and your content makes me feel super re;ived so i just wanted to say thank you
I am a grown woman but I would love to have him legit read me bedtime stories while caressing my hair.
As someone who suffers from extreme anxiety that often prevents me from sleep, your videos are one of the few things that knock me out. Thank you for your hard work ❤
Sending a full contact hug😉
Okay but... His long hair and calm voice is SO attractive
Just a vent
I have a very close friend and we are very affectionate to eachother, hugs cuddles, her just poking my face to make me laugh and I grew to always know that every one in my friend group at my school can and will give me any affection. Physical or just verbal. But since the break I haven't been able to hug her for over three weeks, let alone see her. I only text her. I try to compensate for the loss of physical affection from my family but none are interested in hugging or atleast giving me verbal affection. This video was a complete emotion trip for me. I legitimately cried. Thank you so much.
This was so sweet of you. Ugh, these things never make me cry like this.
I’ve never needed a shoulder rub more. Or a hug, for that matter.
We're so lucky to have you. Thank you so much for making me cry a minute in and giving all the relaxation and tingles. (The gentle jingles of your necklaces have to be one of my favorite sounds lately.)
You.... Your heart...... Your soul..... Your sensibility.......... Your love for us...... The world is not so horrible if you have Jim in your ears..... Thanks... Just......... Thanks ❤️
I was just watching a couple of your Doctor Roberts videos last night because you're so good at triggering the close-up feels, and then to see this new one's title excited me like little else has in this troubling time. My favorite part was the untimed breathing at 12:37--I personally find timed breathing a little stressful, but this moment of naturally breathing together, and the sounds of your varied breaths, was so very calming and deeply connecting, would love to see an extended version of this sometime. My other fave was the face cupping and touching section at 16:01, especially 16:44 on and that eye contact. So very digitally intimate. Enjoyed how you handled the sirens (amazed there's still so much traffic there tho!)...pause, acknowledge, take control, and move on. The focus on control throughout was lovely, and a little blushy. ;D Ahhhh that voice and diction of yours, never tire of it! Much gratitude for this special video, helping so many of us!
This was truly beautiful, so thoughtful and timely, and a wonderful reminder for self-care. I will be rewatching this often, for that reminder. Thank you, Jim.
I truly wish so much you would make an updated video just like this one. This truly helps my panic attacks, and also makes me feel that I can connect more with people and not be so scared. Your sincerity in this video make this such a truly beautiful and much needed blessing in these times. Thank you so very much
Honestly, even when you're not playing a knight... you still feel like a knight to me. I hope you're looking after your own mental health too. Thanks for this, and never hesitate to reach out to us if you feel like you need your own boost. This community has your back.
Jim: "I'm going to touch your face, nothing crazy, I promise"
Jim: *Proceeds to poke all over said face* 😐😜🤭
"Sorry, I didn't mean to pick you up."
What are you sorry for? I'd love to be picked up right now! 😍😍😍
I feel like you're the kind of person that never has and never will fail a vibe check. You, even through a screen, give me that feeling of not being alone. We need more people like you.
Omg the consent questioning at the beginning and that "you will be okay" had me in melted.
This boy's an actual therapy
You're really tall, aren't you? I can't see past your shoulders! Feeling quite safe, now
I wasn't upset or worried but my God that holding and back rubbing part was so soothing I love how calming you are jim I was like "never let go!" Being held by someone so handsome, kind and warm was wonderful
You really do have powers, Jim!
Because here I am, waiting for my mother who is currently undergoing surgery (to hopefully rid her of cancer), and you came as a blessing and gave me a much needed boost of hope and faith. 🤗
Being someone who constantly feels insecure, and struggling with mental illness, I've been trying to support her and comfort her as best as I can, but... I definitely needed some of that support and comfort as well. It's like you charged my batteries for the day!
Thank you so much for this! ♡ 🙏
I know this video is quite old (by UA-cam standards) but I needed a cuddle last night and the reassurance that everything is going to be ok. While I realize this was meant for a very anxious time in particular, I feel it us timeless. I am, as always, impressed by your eloquence and very grateful for what you do. Thank you ❤
This was so sweet. Thank you for everything you do for us! 🤗
I just discovered this community a little while ago, so I’m playing major catch up here. But, I just want to say how absolutely beautiful this video is and, given the timing of it, how very worthwhile and necessary it was. Even now, at the end of the terrible times of isolation and loneliness that the pandemic did to us all, it’s so wonderful to be reminded that we’re all in control, and everything will be ok. Thank you, Jim.
Reading the comments feeling that same overwhelming sense of thankfulness as everyone else. You are a sweet, caring man and you HELP people. Actually help. You need to know that and be proud of that. And I agree with them; your husband is a lucky man. Thank you for making us feel precious.
He has said that he has a wife. Lucky woman indeed.
"You are in complete control of the situation"
Thank you for this! I've never heard such a phrase in any ASMR video before, but that is such a comforting phrase. Especially in the context of touching! I feel so at ease 🙏
So thoughtful... I wish there were more asmr-ists doing vids like this instead of covid medical RPs.
You're the best once again, Jim.
I miss this kind of videos 👉👈 he's amazing with the roleplays, but sometimes we need a comfort hug.
YESSS
I hope he'll do something like that again
Thank you Jim! ❤ I needed this. You're my favorite asmr artist. Hearing "it's going to be okay" from you means a lot.
Recovering at home after surgery, I was feeling so sad and then I woke up to this lovely video! Made me smile and stopped the tears :) you are amazing, Thank you so much
I hope you get to feeling better. Sending you a full contact hug😉.
get recovered soon!
For someone with Chronic Depression and anxiety, that first hug almost made me break down and cry lol Thank you Jim 🖤💖🖤💖
I love that you decided to post a video with positive vibes, I saw a lot of ASMRtists doing 'testing for the virus' roleplays, and that's the opposite of what's needed. Thank You for giving us an amazing content again 💖
Him: I'd like to start with a hug if that's okay?
Me, a teenager: *Absolutely, let's do this.*
This is so perfect and so needed right now. Like a lot of people, I've been touch starved because of the quarantine and this really helped. The part during the massage where you said the things about how the viewer controls the situation and can stop if they want almost made me cry! I've been through a sexual assault and am still mentally recovering from it, so hearing that caught me off guard! Great job, Jim, and thank you!
I hope that you are doing better.I wish you the best of luck in these hard times xxx
This was so nice! I never know what kind of asmr I'm going to get from you (creepy, epic, or sweet) but I KNOW I'm going to love it.
DAMN, HIS VOICE! I am so in love with his tone. I could listen to him for hours.
(It's a pity though that the videos are always so dark and grey)
This is exactly what I’ve been needing while stuck at home in self-quarantine, and it’s absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much, Jim! 😁
This video made me realise how touch starved I actually am.. the household that I live in isn't the best due to all the fighting, screaming & door slamming/kicking that goes on nearly every day. It's rather depressing that I have been dealing with this ever since I was 4 years old (basically for 10 years already.), I didn't deserve to deal with this at such a young age. I'm truly glad that you made this video, it makes me feel so much better whenever I feel horrible. Thank you, Jim. 🧡
I’m sorry you have to experience that, same situation here but it’s getting a bit better for me. I hope you can heal and find a place where you feel safe. Sending hugs from Australia. 💛
I just recently found your channel but.. I wanted to let you know your voice is amazing. Your videos that I have watched so far have made me feel like the only person in the world. So calm and relaxed. Thank you so much for what your doing, your amazing ❤️❤️
This is the most relaxed I have been in months. Thank you for gifting me the ability to rest this morning. I feel saved. I didn’t expect to feel the hug, or realize how much I needed it. Massively thankful for the magic of Asmr and also the magic that is Jim. Thank you sir.
2:35 minutes into the video and i already had tears running down my cheeks.
Honestly...same. This social isolation has really highlighted how starved most of us are for human contact and connection. 😭 I can't even remember the last time somebody showed me more than 0.5 seconds of platonic physical affection.
Same here
Hope things are better 4 years later
@@BanaBiohazard Nope, it only took 0:40 till i had tears ^^'
This is exactly the comfort I needed for this Chaotic situation
"First, if it's ok with you," YES, Absolutely YES. Are we not supposed to fall for this man? We are but mere mortals! I feel like the state of loving Jim is so universal at this point it's become archetypal. He is timeless, our affection for him is timeless. We will speak of Jim in the future and people will just nod knowingly. It's weirdly comforting knowing we all feel so much collective love and appreciation, especially when he drops a new video and we're all absolutely swooning together. It all just makes sense. Thank you so much for all you do. ❤️
3 years later and your videos are still helping. I’ve had a really hard evening.. and this helped settle me a lot..
Never got more tingles in my life than the way you whispered during the first hug
Thank you so much for doing this... I’ve been touch-starved for a long time and being given that comfort from someone is really something else. 😅 Every time I smiled, you smiled too. You’re such a kind soul. Thank you for making my day better. 💖
It is so calming to listen to you talking and seeing you smile😊 And this before going to sleep, is just another level of feeling comfortable. I'm feeling so safe thank you so much🥰
I lost my mother last year and i want you to know that your content has helped heal my soul. I have melted when i thought it impossible. You have given me the closeness i never knew i needed. I have went months burying everything and not paying much attention to myself. Just trying to hold everyone else together. Not many ppl consider me for being in need pf comfort or there when im in need. Your voice is like magic....manna for the broken and lonely. You have helped me when i was close to the "jumping off" point
Yay! Virtual hugs! :)
when he went in for a hug, I actually cried. times have been tough and I really needed a person to comfort me, even if it was through a screen. thank you so much jim...may life bless you and to others who may be going through a rough patch in their lives, it'll be okay, you're not alone.
aayyee lemme just share that im extremely reluctant on physical contact towards males but at the ssame time i yearn to be hug and cared for by a man in a not sexual way but a gentle affectionate way but the problem is i have major trust issues and i loathe physical contact so this warms my heart in so many levels. thank you jim
I totally understand you...
Same...
I totally feel ya
It gets me terrible anxious every time a male friend wants to hug me
I Know they mean no harm but still :c
This is a big mood hello 👋
Face touches are my favorite! Thank you 😊
This is definitely my favorite video. I am more transported into a multi-layered, virtual reality (hugging Jim!) than what any of the other roleplays have to offer. On a purely auditory note, the constant sound of the backrub and simultaneous pep talk feels incredibly engaging. When I really *must* get more calm, this is the best video on youtube. Being able to see Jim’s more natural features and mannerisms is super cool of course too. Hooo, he’s asking me to breathe with him now, gotta go.
This makes me feel so safe. And so happy!
depression and insomenia at max levels, pain from disabkilities bad, in comes Jim saves the day finally relax and feel so much better. Honestly this vieo is better than my therapy lol, I feel much better after your asmr, just healing in ways you dont even realise thank you good sir.
This is such a kind idea. I’m lucky enough to be quarantined with a loved one (honestly I could use a little more distance lol) but I’ve been really worrying about people who are stuck inside alone in these anxious times.
slight trigger warning
i'm actually genuinely crying because of this- this video makes me feel so safe. growing up, i've often been inappropriately touched by some very bad people without my consent, and you asking me if you can touch me or not and even reassuring me ab it is just- it's making me feel so happy and safe-
this is the type of affection i've longed for ever since i was just 7
so i'd just like to say thank you, this really made my day
you have no idea how much this video means to me
This is so calming and reassuring. It doesn't hurt that Jim's so gorgeous. 😘
Well, the last one can be a distraction from falling asleep.
TaryAnn Agreed haha
So natural & genuine. You're really good at this, Jim
The hug was so nice. I felt it. ❤️
I always come back to this specific video whenever I’m anxious, stressed or can’t sleep! Thank you so much 😊
And btw traffic sounds are so familiar - I had the same problem at my old apartment, I got so used to it that they are relaxing now😅
Outside: *Sirens going off, traffic, explosions...*
Us: "Don’t care. Hugging Jim. All is well. ❤️"
hey jim! I just wanted to say that as someone who's gone through some traumatic situations, you constantly reassuring us that we're In Control is so comforting to me, and a huge help, so thank you for the lovely content
I always come back to this one. Always.
The past few days whenever I feel too anxious to sleep, I watch this video. The hug at the beginning always makes me feel like a weight has been lifted off me. Thank you for this source of comfort in these times
Everyone: yo that was the best asmr experience I've ever had in my life
Me: falls asleep in the first minute, has no idea what's going on in the video, has no opinion on it's contents, enjoys it anyways
Awwww I love how you look actually caring not just acting so it makes me feel more relaxed and comfy 💕 thx needed this
Thanks for the compassion, Jim. Greatly appreciated.
I hope you feel loved, everyone.
