I mean you can tickle yourself but it doesn't tickle....
Any ideas as to why...??
But sometimes you do expect it... Like if someone asks If your ticklish you know they're going to try and tickle you even if you say yes or no...

Because tickling is kinda like a defence mechanism. It's a reaction and you can't really sneak up on yourself. But if someone else does it to you, then even if you expect it, you don't know EXACTLY when they're going to do it. Notice that when other people tickle you, you try to get away? That's the defence in tickling :)
