  1. as your body you will do these tickle not surprising ! and the tickle came from another skin not your own skin !!  


  2. The same reason why if you hit your own knee, nothing will happen, but if a doctor does it, you leg goes up. I don't know why. There's a lot of things your body doesn't respond to unless stimulated by another force.  

  3. because your brain knows before you do it that youre going to tickle yourself

    when it comes from someone else your brain hasnt got a clue, so you feel tickled

  4. Some scientists believe the cerebellum prevents us from tickling ourselves because it can distinguish expected sensations from unexpected sensations.

    I've included some links below on this topic.
