The term “creepy” is often used by individuals to describe ASMR videos which they find disturbing.
This is curious to me.
Why is it that two individuals can watch the same video and one person feels relaxed by it and the other person feels creeped out by it?
And why is the word “creepy” so often used but never the word “frightening”?
There must be something common to a relaxing situation and to a creepy situation that is not common to a frightening situation.
And there is.
