I hate being so ticklish! How do I stop this? D:

So I'm a guy, I'm 15 years old.
I'm pretty lanky I guess,

Anyway I was at gym with friends and there was a boxing ring,
he was teaching me drops and such.
But the way he did things really felt uncomfortable!

It felt ticklish, (ribs, side of stomach) whenever he'd touch that part of my body it'd feel so ticklish and I hate it!
Whenever someone punches me when I stretch I always react too fast and it really irratates me!
It doesn't hurt or anything, it just tickles me!

Is there anyway to stop being so ticklish?

I honestly wish I knew a way to stop it. I'm really ticklish too and I hate it. I have a couple of cousins that, every time they see me, they touch me because I flinch so much. Entertaining for them, but definitely not for me.
 
Yeah I guess it would be much worse being very ticklish when your a guy :/

My ex used to tickle me even while knowing I am so ticklish around my neck and ribs that I can't breathe when tickled there.
I used to dig my fingernails into my arms real hard, this pain then distracted me from the ticklish feeling.
If it bothers you so much, maybe you could try this and see if it works for you?

But I agree with BlueDays try to distract yourself usually by biting your tongue or the fingernail trick.

It could be a matter of getting used to that feeling.
If you continue with the boxing; perhaps over time it'll decrease your sensitivity?

...I've found that doesn't really help with people who are ticklish.
My ex was very ticklish on his sides and stomach, so I'd tickle him purposefully- hoping it would help him not be so sensitive.
Didn't work over a span of 8 years.

Perhaps it could work for you?
Or maybe you'll want to wear more layers to help with the sensitivity?

I'm ticklish on my stomach, and, thanks to my ex, I've found out I'm ticklish on my butt. ::eek:: Not that anyone would touch there, anyway.

Vin, not really sure how you can stop it. I think it's just one of those things.
