The simple answer is because you will always expect it. Tickling only works if there is an element of surprise - this is also why, when you know you're going to be tickled by someone else, you can control how much you laugh.
Probably has something to do with some neurotransmitter or something.

If I have a tickle spot I cant really even scratch the area cause it tickles too much.

the brain knows when you are tickling yourself

You can touch the areas of your body that are ticklish, but won't get the same feeling you do when someone else touches them because their touch is unexpected and unpredictable.

I can tickle myself.
I am always rather bemused by questions that assume that humans cannot!
(Maybe I am not human? .... let's not go there!)

all our senses are tied together, so it does not work.
