Being Tickled

I absolutely CAN NOT stand being tickled. I know that being tickled isn't something that anyone necessarily enjoys, but for me if anyone tries to tickle me i freak out. I am petrified of being tickled. I understand that this is a bit bizarre in comparison to the normal "clowns, spiders or heights" fears, and I don't know where this weird fear even came from or when it began! Perhaps it was from growing up with two older brothers who thought it was funny to pin me down and tickle me. I mean after all you're laughing... that means you like it, right?! WRONG! I think what scares me most is that people think that you're enjoying it or think you think it's funny because you're laughing. When in reality there is NOTHING you can do to stop yourself from it. When you're being tickled you are basically completely helpless and there is nothing that you can really do besides flail and scream for them to stop. Gah. Never tickle people. It's the worst and I hate it.

Happy Halloween!
