i was at petsmart tonight and this kid was watching all the dogs graduate from doggy training (they had little grad caps and everything omg) and he had his face pressed against the glass and he reverently whispered, ‘i feel so alive’
How neuroscience can help you control your tickling response
Your brain predicts sensations based on your own movements and isn’t surprised when you try to tickle yourself. To combat the tickly feeling when someone else tickles you, cover their hand with yours.
Your brain can then make predictions about how it’s going to feel, and doesn’t produce the tickle response.
"People scare me. They change their minds so quick. One moment it’s “I love you” and “you make me happy” and the next it’s “I’m not sure anymore” and “this isn’t what I want.”"
