Why cant we tickle our self?

Question

Why cant we tickle our self?

Answer 1

feeling someone else's touch is a different feeling then your own

Answer 2

tickling as the sudden movement on a certain part of our bodies. it was used as an evolutionary measure to make sure that spiders and others insects couldn't crawl on you without you noticing. however, you can't tickle yourself as your body sends a signal to your body to not be tickled, as if you scratched your self and cracked up, it would get pretty annoying.

Answer 3

touch the top of your mouth and you can tickle yourself. haha but other then that, i dont think there is any other place.

but yea good question. hmm i dont know?

Answer 4

i think it's the lack of the element of surprise.  when we go to scratch our arm or something, our brain knows what's coming, and therefore is ready for it.  when someone sneaks up behind us and tickles us, we don't expect it, and it is a surprise to our brains as well.

Answer 5

its probable coz we know what our move is gonne be like and where but the person thats tickles us has moves we dnt know about thats what i think ....

Answer 6

its b/c we know whats coming. we anticipate it.  we are tickled when we dont really know where the next touch will be or when it happens, ets.
