I am so freakin ticklish!!?

Question

I wish I wasn't so ticklish because there are some things I would like to try. I would like to see what a foot massage feels like or a massage period. I would like to be carressed by my GF without it tickling. I would like to kick off my shoes without the fear of being tickled. I would like to stop being so paranoid of being tickled all the time. Sometimes it actually puts me in a bad mood. Am I alone here or are there others that can relate to me on this one.

Answer 1

Answer 2

Scientists suggest that being ticklish is our defense against creepy crawlies like spiders and bugs, a physiological response alerting us to a specific type of threat. That is why vulnerable parts of our bodies -- feet, chest, and armpits, are among the most ticklish.

While there is no question that being ticklish is neurological, scientists contend that it is also learned. One theory sees ticklishness as a personality-based response to perceived attack. Antsy folks may laugh uncontrollably at the lightest touch, or even without being touched at all, while folks made of sterner stuff won't budge during more aggressive tickle attacks.

If you close your eyes and try to remain calm while you are tickled, you can decrease panic, reduce giggles, and dull sensation. And, no matter how hard you try, it is nearly impossible to tickle yourself.

Answer 3

I can relate with you completely. It's bad to be this ticklish. It puts a damper on so many things.

Answer 4

Seriously, you need to see a therapist who specializes in phobias. You obviously have a pteronophobia or something like it.
