14 Struggles Only Truly Ticklish People Understand

"Are you ticklish?" is probably one of the hardest questions to answer. Do you tell the truth and wait until they eventually start tickling you? Or do you lie and face an even worse form of tickle torture when they find out that you’ve lied about being ticklish? Here are some of the struggles only truly ticklish people will understand:

1. Nothing scares you more than the question "Are you ticklish?"

Because you can truly never win this battle. Just prepare yourself for the inevitable tickling that follows.

2. The "I'm going to tickle you unless you do what I say" threat works 90% of the time.

And it’s SO unfair! Why must I be so freaking ticklish?!

3. Cuddling is tricky.

It's supposed to be a sweet and loving gesture right? WRONG! How can it be when you jump at the slightest touch? DON'T EVEN TOUCH ME.

4. Looking like the Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tube Man from Family Guy when someone tickles you.

And NO it’s not some weird dance move. It’s an involuntary move that means we want you to stop fucking tickling us. Like now.

5. People take skin exposure as a signal to torture the hell out of you.

If your shirt just happens to lift a few inches up, then prepare yourself because THEY WILL attack you. Bastards.

6. Asking someone to stop tickling you is completely useless.

It’s like they’re oblivious to the tears coming out of your eyes. And NO they are NOT tears of freakin’ joy, believe me.

7. Getting a pedicure is actual torture.

I bet the woman doing your pedicure secretly hates you 'cause you can’t keep still when she massages the tension away from your feet.

8. People can use your tickle spots to THEIR advantage.

We may be laughing on the outside, but in our minds we’ve already killed you, like, a million times.

9. Wiggling fingers make you jump even if they haven’t come into contact with your skin yet.

You just KNOW they’re about to tickle the living hell out of you and to be honest, I'm just not down with that shit.

10. People don’t understand just how violent we can be.

Tickle us and face the consequences 'cause we're DEFO not liable for any injuries. Cover your eyes.

11. You're constantly watching out for people just in case they decide to give a "surprise tickle attack".

You have to be on your toes to anticipate these, but hey, at least we’ve got lightning fast reflexes, am I right?

12. You have to contain yourself when someone gets mad/shocked that you hurt them.

B*TCH YOU TICKLED ME, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?!

13. Your friends feel the need to tell EVERYONE that you’re ticklish.

Why? Just why?!

14. Not being able to scratch the bottom of your foot when it’s REALLY itchy.

Erm hello, that means you’ll be tickling YOURSELF?! No thanks.
