Why Does Individual Attention Make Us Feel Good?

Question by Cinders: Why does individual attention make us feel good?
In many alternative “treatments” of ailments, it seems like the biggest factor in making people feel better relies on giving the individual a lot of personal attention.
Even in ASMR communities and videos, person attention is the one thing that is a constant theme.
Why does having such personal attention make us feel good? Like, haircuts, massages, makeup sessions?

I believe these acts and videos (referring to the youtube ASMR videos which are very popular) trigger the production of a chemical in the brain, which if it is what I am thinking of, is called oxytocin. Oxytocin is the chemical, hormone or whatever that produces the feelings of love and intense happiness. If you’ve ever been in love or even just had a very nice moment with someone you are close to, you may have noticed that your emotional feeling seems to bring about physical symptoms. ASMR simulates these experiences (sometimes VERY well) and pulls that emotional trigger. As with any “drug” though, the more you utilize ASMR the more resistant you get to it making it harder to trigger via ASMR or unfortunately real life experience. So as with all good things, please use in moderation!
