Is she afraid of her feelings?

It seems to be a recurring thing on this app but I'm best friends with a girl. We hang out all the time for the last like year and we've been texting on and off and hanging out for almost 2 years now (we're work colleagues)

she's quite shy and isn't a fan of intimacy, she doesn't like being touched or cuddled or anything, she's quite avoidant to that stuff.

The past month or two things have completely changed though and as things stand, she texts me all the time, sends me videos etc. Teases me, laughs at all my jokes, plays with her hair and has began touching me a lot, whether it be jumping into me, play fighting or whatever there's lots of contact.

Sometimes she goes cold and doesn't make much eye contact and faces her body away from me. She came to watch netlfix the other day and seemed really stiff and distant, however she came over again and began making her way towards me slowly and stayed for a while when the movie was done.

She has gone from being a cold and distant person to being all over me in a sense now, however, she has been ok with me touching her hand or her thigh over the last month or two, and the other day she she "accidentally" held my hand. Yet today we done a lot of touching but when I touched her hand she pulled away which shocked me. Few minutes later she touched my leg and then when she got home started texting and teasing me again. She takes hours to reply to her friends normally, yet here I am being replied to within a minute and she's starting the conversation too

Sometimes I feel like I'm reading signals wrong and her pulling her hand away would show she's not interested, but there's so many things that make me feel like she's beginning to crush on me

Is she afraid of her feelings?
