However, when you try to tickle yourself, you are in complete control of the situation.


Why is it that if you tickle yourself, it doesn’t tickle, but if someone else tickles you, you cannot stand it?
(  ①  )If someone was tickling you and you managed to remain relaxed, it would not affect you at all. (  ②  ) Of course, it would be difficult to stay relaxed, because tickling causes tension for most of us, such as feelings of unease. (  ③  )The tension is due to physical contact, the lack of control, and the fear of whether it will tickle or hurt. (  ④  )There is no need to get tense and therefore, no reaction. (  ⑤  )You will notice the same effect if you close your eyes, breathe calmly, and manage to relax the next time someone tickles you.
