For me, being touched feels more like the NT sensation, except that if it's unexpected part of my brain automatically decides it's bad-intentioned. I'm also acutely aware of even touch that most people don't notice. For example, if someone brushes up against me, I can feel every single spot on my body that they touched. I also feel an 'echo' of the feeling for a few seconds, but only if it's light touch (or hard enough to hurt, but that's a different echo). And if I imagine being touched I feel the echo too.
Same here. It's worse when it's a skin-to-skin touch; hugs are uncomfortable, but they don't give me the same sensation because there's very little skin contact, just clothes (luckily, I don't get a lot of naked people wanting hugs from me...).
