Jealousy and ticklishness

In Russia — the country I live in — there is such a belief that whose who are jealous are usually ticklish as well, and vice-versa. It's a pretty common opinion, and don't be surprised to hear sometimes something like «Don't touch me this way, I'm jealous» instead of «I'm ticklish».
What do you think, according to your experience, is that saying a veritable one or merely a stupid byword?
 
I haven't heard those words being interchangeable. Maybe it's easier to admit to being jealous than being ticklish.
 
But I actually asked if you noticed that jealous people are more ticklish in general?
 
I don't see how that quirk would go together, but then again, I've never tested the jealousy and ticklishness of a person...
 
Hm. I dunno. Strange qualities to compare, really.
That said, I'm rarely jealous, and on those occasions its not very bad, but I'm always insanely ticklish, so I don't think they're related. XD

Growing up my friends mom was an extremely jealous person that had very ticklish feet. We held and tickled her feet and she went ballistic.
 
Thats kinda strange that only one country [so it seems] relates jealousy and tickling.
Seems to me that if it were a common comparison it would be known worldwide.

Everyone is different though!
 
I have my jealous moments, but they're few and far between. My ticklish moments on the other hand....

Nope...I dont think there's a correlation

I agree with this person :iagree:. I also don't why being jealous would have anything to do with tickling or being ticklish 😕.

Its a little hard to sit here in a different culture and speculate upon the validity or rationality of another culture.

This is an interesting equation between the two concepts. Since I write regarding sexuality, I'll do a little peek...
 
I think it could be a correlation as far as some folks getting jealous of folks they might either be in a relationship with or want to be, and tickling happens to be sexual for them. Regardless of if it's strictly sexual or not, it's still an act of sexual nature to them and watching them play with other people could make them feel as if they are being cheated. Or losing out on something that they consider personal to themselves and the other person.

I don't know if that makes sense, but it did in my head.

I doubt that enough people consider tickling to be sexual to cause a whole nation to think it is related to jealousy. It would also not make sense for the person being tickled to say "I'm jealous", I think it would be up to the partner of the tickled person to say that, wouldn't it?

As for the relation of jealousy and ticklishness, I actually do know a guy who is not jealous and not ticklish at all, and I am both ticklish and jealous, but I really think it's a coincidence. Don't see where a link could be.
 
I also suspect this relation to be just a coincidence, since exceptions abound as well.
But according to my observations, jealousy and ticklishness indeed correlate quite often to be if not a rule, but at least a tendency. Maybe it has something to do with how well a person can control one's emotions and feelings?
So there isn't such a belief in other countries and you haven't heard or noticed something like this before?
 
It is indeed possible that it has something to do with self-control, that sounds reasonable. But on the other hand, I would say the base-feeling (ticklishness or jealousy) is still there if you are a controlled person - you just don't act on it.

Other than that, I do not really see a link since ticklishness is a physical thing while jealousy is completely emotional. There just happen to be a lot of people jealous or ticklish or both, it's a common thing. I am ready to bet that you can find more people who are jealous and/or ticklish than people who aren't.

And no, I personally have never heard that from any other country. I'm sure it would have came up in this forum before if there was such a thing somewhere else.

LOL I'm glad it did in yours.
I'm still trying to figure it out!!! :facepalm:
 
I have heard of people being jealous watching someone else being tickled.
 
funny,years ago I heard if your feet were ticklish meant you're a jealous person.never heard it again until this thread.

I have never noticed a specific correlation between ticklishness and jealousy in general. However, I do know that our mood at the time of being tickled can often effect how much we allow ourselves to react to things. Being in a more flirtatious or playful mood allows us to relax, thus allowing for greater reactions. Being angry often leads one to stifle things in order to frustrate the ler. Etc.

So, perhaps something along these lines is more the root of the belief than an actual direct cause/effect thing?
 
I actually heard that this is a folk belief in Greece as well.
 
That's really interesting; I've never heard that correlation expressed before.
