Ticklishness is a complex response that involves both physical and psychological factors. It’s believed to be a form of social bonding or a way to protect vulnerable areas of the body. Some people are more ticklish due to heightened sensitivity in their nerve endings or because of how their brain processes touch and the anticipation of being tickled. The reaction is also closely tied to a person’s mood and the context of the situation—tickling can be fun or unbearable depending on the circumstances.
