Are you aware of the reasoning behind why you don't like to be touched? Is it that the sensation bothers you? Do you fear they may harm you? Is it more to do with contamination?
I sometimes think that it is because , somehow I feel that I must protect my space. If that makes sense. I did not have a lot of privacy growing up. I wonder if that is why?
