Is fear of intimacy a sign of a mental problem ?

To clarify intimacy - it's not just romantic emotions. It's people touching me, getting too close to me, I can't tell people things about my personal life - it's like I don't trust anyone. I'm just afraid of getting attached to anyone, whether it be a friend, co-worker, or boyfriend. I can barely talk to my family and I have seven sisters!
Mental illness runs in my family, we're all a little whack. So I was just wondering what's wrong with me. Because I really do want to get close to someone. I just can't... I push everyone away.
