the flavor of my disgust is similar to my disgust with most ASMR but particularly ASMR that's intimacy-oriented I've checked it out to see what the appeal is blatant perversion of a real, good thing. fake cargo culting bullshit.

also suspect that circling is a fucking *magnet* for the sneakiest kind of manipulative asshole if I put myself into the shoes of someone in one of the videos I watched, I predict that I would feel cornered as hell

again, mostly would be fighting intense pressure to not hurt feelings, in conflict with the desire to say the cruelest shit I could think of just to get a bit of the pressure off

these feelings are also identical to the ones I had in the few kink (or heavily influenced by kink) social events I have been to and also similar to the worst encounters I've had in church fake fake fake manipulative ass shit

it is mimicking a real and beautiful dynamic of interpersonal optionality and trust that I have with some of my closest friends and loved ones but doing it in a way that makes my skin crawl

it's not like I can't have the kind of intimate social dynamic I think they're Trying to get here I have it with a few close friends, my spouse, and other loved ones where this kind of reporting on the interactions and meta-interactions is possible and safe and good

if I ever do go to a circling event it will be to casually point out how people are being gross manipulative assholes at one another the entire time

you can come to one of my circles and do just that (tho you'd have to own it; actively stating what other ppl are doing as fact is a no-go, but you can be like "I am utterly revolted by what i perceive to be manipulation and hearing you speak makes me want to self harm"
