Why is ASMR so creepy?

Some people find ASMR creepy because it can be experienced as a physical sensation perceived as ticklish or tingling.

This may be because ASMR is often triggered by unexpected or unpredictable stimuli, which can add to the feeling of creepiness.

Additionally, some people may find the personal attention associated with ASMR intrusive or uncomfortable.

Finally, the whispering and other sounds often used in ASMR videos can create a sense of unease or anxiety for some viewers.
