Why can't you tickle yourself?

Answer 1

thats a good question

Answer 2

Because you are comfortable with your own touch. And on top of that, you only focus on half the sensation, if I try to tickle my feet, half of the sensation is your foot feeling your fingers, and the other half is your fingers feeling your foot. But if someone else tries to tickle you, all you feel is the receiving end!

However I can still tickle my feet, maybe Im weird.

Answer 3

when you are trying to tickle yourself you are actually working too many muscles and nerves sending mix signals to the brain. you can massage your hand and feel nothing, but if you relax all muscles and nerves and let someone else massage them ,then you will fell the full effect of the massage the same goes for the tickle theory.
