Why can't I feel when I touch my body?

Understanding Loss of Sensation
Feeling a lack of sensation when touching your body can be attributed to a complication of diabetes known as peripheral neuropathy. This condition leads to nerve damage. Additionally, other medical issues that might result in diminished feeling include strokes, herniated discs, spinal cord injuries, cysts (specifically syringomyelia), tumors, multiple sclerosis, and infections.
