We do not feel the earths atmospheric pressure because it is the same everywhere all round us.

The body can only really feel pressure differences. Try this, put your finger in your mouth and suck. Your finger and indeed the inside of you mouth will feel the pressure difference you create.

Also sometimes if you go up in a lift or are in a car, bus or plane that goes up or down, you may feel pressure changes in your ears. This is because the pressure in your middle ear takes time to equalize with the atmospheric pressure changes caused as you go up and down in altitude.

The air inside of our bodies is at just about the same pressure as the air outside of it so they are balanced. Our bodies are not very compressible and when the pressure outside changes our bodies adapt to the new pressure.

Because the fluid inside your body exerts pressure that works against Atmospheric pressure =D

i'm not sure a 100% but i think this is the answer

You can not feel the weight of the air pressing on your body because it's balanced by the same amount of pressure inside your body.

Why do you not notice atmospheric pressure on your body?

We do not feel the atmospheric pressure - roughly 101kPa - because our bodies have adapted to it, to the point where the pressure in our bodies exactly balances the external pressure, resulting in no net force on your body.

What is the relation between pressure in atmosphere and pressure?

Atmospheric pressure is the surrounding pressure around us. We live in the atmosphere and treat the atmospheric pressure as the base pressure. A pressure gauge would read 0 at atmospheric pressure.
