while removing some timber/wood that was connected to the wall where the boiler was located before it was moved, this stuff came from behind it or in the wall, now to me it doesnt look like asbestos, but im a right in saying it could contain asbestos? it feels soft and is very easy to break.

Hello Arron. I honestly don't know what that is, despite enlarging the images.
Does seem to be full of hair.
 
Yes, if you can, although your first photos were fairly good.
 
the small cupboard the boiler was in was very dusty so i think some of it is dust, when i took some more pictures it leaves a white residue on the floor like a powder.
 
If you think it is asbestos. Take it to an asbestos disposal site. Don't mess with it. However I'm not sure it is but if in doubt check it out.
 
It seems to be impregnated by hair, dust and possibly plaster etc
 
so do you think it might just be a load of crap mixed into one, the only reason i was worried is because im only 22 lol, i want a long life.

Probably, but probably it won't damage your health, isn't a very reassuring comment.
Don't disturb the dust if you still are unsure.
Would need someone to eyeball it who is experienced with asbestos removal. I have never seen asbestos looking like that in that mixture of stuff
