      That's my whole hypothesis! I'm wonder if it's just a quick touch though, like one quick moment, one quick tickle giggle. Because that wouldn't work. We need more info on the "phantom touch".

      You ever look at a place on a map and get an image in your mind based on previous experiences or preconceptions, but then you get there and you have that moment like “oh so this is what it looks like? It’s different than I thought”?

      Well, sure. Many times, I'd say. Like the first time I went to Buffalo, NY. I thought it was going to be all steel and industrial and it was beautiful, so many trees. And it's true with people too. You get a sense of what they look like and boom it's not at all what you find.

      Maybe it’s just that kind of initial feeling. Like when I go to hike into a new mountain range. I can scout all year on Google Earth, but just about every time when I set foot there, I’m hit with “Oh okay, that’s what this place is”

      You know, you are also experiencing it with ALL your senses at that point. There's no way just looking at pictures can give you the overall sense. I mean you have memories of the smell of woods, but when you're there, it's real.

      Presumably schizophrenics have been tickled before they realize they cannot tickle themselves. I have met (and dated) some absolute monsters, barely human, who where all but immune to tickling. Unsettling but I have seen stranger things

      But they don't recognize their own touch. I don't think it's a matter of thought or memory. Maybe the non-ticklish schizophrenic just feels it as an annoying wiggle of fingers. I am not ticklish so it's just weirdly irritating.

      I feel like women are less ticklish than men but I have only circumstantial evidence.

      Almost every woman I’ve ever met can bend their fingers back to touch their wrists and it’s so disgusting it almost makes me gag. How am I supposed to know “who do you work for?!” When I wrist lock them up?

      I don't quite understand! Why are you wrist locking some girl who is asking you about your work place? What is a wrist lock, anyways? Why is she doing that bendy thing anyways in the middle of a conversation
