Look,
If I say I'm ticklish, doesn't mean I gave you permission to tickle me, poke me in the sides or what not!

I'm fine with people tickling me.
Though sometimes it just gets too much to the point of having bad habit reflexes.

A person passes by?
Moves away.

Just a simple hug?
Flinches at the sight of the action.

You go behind me?
I'll start hugging my sides, trying to protect them.

One day,
I might find myself terrified at the fact of people just touching me. Or at least getting close to me.

So yeah.
I'm fine with tickles.
Just not too much or I'll end up not being able to breathe well. Like literally.

Hands off!
