Holy crap! What is wrong with me?!?!

[anonymiss86]

Hey guys!
So this might be super weird. But I'm a ler and you know how people say you can't tickle yourself?
Well I always knew that washing my feet was unbearable but didn't think much of it.
But I got curious after reading something about how people can't tickle themselves and while laying in bed decided to just try. So I lightly dug my nails into my side and nearly jumped out of my skin. It tickled so bad that I had to stop! I tried it again by lightly dragging my nails over my stomach and sides and actually felt my stomach jump and had to fight back laughter and felt chills after I stopped.
What is wrong with me????
(and don't say schizophrenia bc it's definitely not that)
Why am I able to tickle myself???
Any ideas would be helpful!! 🙂

There's absolutely nothing wrong with you I've done it as well, you're in good company

Really? I didn't know it was common! That makes me feel better. I wonder why everything is under the assumption that you can't when some can. I dunno!

Some people can tickle themselves. At a gathering in Albany once, a TMF member with the screen name NJJen gave us a demonstration of it. She was very ticklish to her own touch and was clearly not faking it.

One More Time!

As often as this topic keeps reoccurring, I never get tired of reposting this clip.

You can tickle yourself, you just usually don't laugh because you either adjust to the feeling or stop.

This is the correct answer.

I too, agree with rhiannon. When I was a kid and still ticklish, I tried to tickle my armpits several times and could never go more that a few seconds before I had to stop. I couldn't go on.

So it sounds like you are a 100% Ler with insanely ticklish feet. You really should get busy with the running and the hiding!

All I gotta say is don't listen to people that say you can't tickle yourself. They're thinking logically, and logic would dictate that you can't tickle yourself, but they're wrong though.. because you can...

And it's good to know that even though you're a ler, you're pretty ticklish 😛

Here is a test for you. Tickle your own foot and try as hard as you can to a) not laugh and b)not stop.

Time it and see how long you can do both and let us know.

I've been suceesful in tickling myself as well 🙂
