It’s actually being unable to tickle yourself to the point of laughter that is supposed to be impossible.The theory is that the laughter is a relief reaction to the cessation of the perception of danger. Since you already know whether your intentions are of danger to yourself, there is no relief reaction, ergo, no laughter.

I could never tickle myself either. Yet I’m quite ticklish.

I am only ticklish in one spot…Unfortunately, it covers all over.

This is wrong, or a myth. I’ve ALWAYS been able to tickle myself. Which can be very annoying if you try to scratch an itch in the wrong spot.
