Trigger warning
Today, I was on the phone with my boyfriend and I told him that I was going to tickle him, to which he responded me how he’d “crack” me in the head so that I’d never even think about tickling him again. It threw me into a panic attack and people laughed. I’m a survivor of domestic violence. FML

Today, I tickled my girlfriend, and her first reflex was to swing her elbow back and break my nose. FML

Today, I had a panic attack because my wife yelped at me. What did I say that made her yell? I told her that I had just been diagnosed with a panic disorder that's triggered by people yelling at me. FML

Today, I found out it is possible to get whiplash and a concussion from a tickle fight you have with your boyfriend. FML

Today, I was cuddling on the couch with my girlfriend when I started to tickle her, she asked me to stop but I continued. She had a reaction, and kneed me in the happy sacks. FML

Today, my boyfriend discovered that I fart when I'm tickled enough. The best part was when he decided to show his family. FML

Today, because I thought I was about to have an asthma attack, I had a panic attack. Then, the panic attack caused me to have a real asthma attack. FML

Today, I asked a girl I like out. She ended up having an asthma attack because she was laughing so hard. I guess that's a no. FML

Today, I tried to propose to my girlfriend, but I was so nervous that I had a panic attack, fainted and split my head open. My girlfriend then fainted at the sight of the blood. An onlooker had to call an ambulance for both of us. FML

You are going to get really good at pinning people down before the tickle fights start.

Use it to your advantage and tickle every person you see :D although going to see a therapist might be a good idea

Tickle them before they tickle you! Its a fight for survival.

Im the same! Anybody that doesn't respect your wishes not to be tickled really isn't worth having in your life :)

Instead of tickle wars, try pillow fights. I'm so sorry. I know how important tickle wars are in a relationship. My heart goes out to you. FYL.

How? Just how did you get to that place where you decide to condemn a whole generation from this FML?

I don't know what that comment has to do with the FML, but if you hate this generation, then leave this planet.

You had another odd comment on a previous FML. I have no idea why this FML, of all FMLs, would make someone lose faith in this generation. But why does this generation make you sick? Because this one person, who we don't even know if they're a part of "this generation," has panic attacks, an uncontrolled reaction, in response to tickling? Most types of responses to tickling is a panic response though, even laughing. It triggers it in the brain, having a panic attack when being tickled actually isn't that unusual.

Is that you, Mario?

That's not that surprising, really. When you're tickled (like pinned down and seriously tickled), you pretty much lose control to someone else and that can stress the body. I personally hate being tickled for that reason, and I just think it's really uncomfortable.

"It triggers a me?" It's a me, Mario. I'll see myself out the door now.
