I hate being tickled. I always have and I'm very ticklish. I think it's a power issue with me. I don't like someone having that kind of control over me and one of my favorite emotions. (laughter). It's sort of like I don't think that other people should have the right or the power to provoke my emotions...I should be able to keep it to myself or let it go freely.
When people tickle me, I feel violated. I ask them to stop and if they don't, I sometimes start crying. (it is torture to me).
I hope that helps you! :-)

Ugh, I dont know...
I think it's annoying and a little too cute.
If they have a deep connection like boyfriend and girlfriend I think it's fine, but for some reason, I hate it when my friends tickle me.

Hate it! I always have.
I guess to me tickling is always done by creepy people - stepdad, stepmother, etc. It's like the only affection that you can receive by being uncomfortable.

Some people are afraid of being touched.
Some people see being touched as a violation of their personal space.
