When it comes to not wanting to be touched, it is not about being in love with a person. Especially in her situation, it is because her brain has linked it to harm. She could be very much in love with someone, and still feel unsafe.
you're very right when you are afraid to be touched even if it family or your best friend it still feels horible to be touched. in my case i've had panic attacks after someone touched me i've even puked and fainted ( ̄∇ ̄")
