So I have this friend. She is very nice but because of this guys take advantage of her. There is this one guy who keeps touching her. She has told me that she doesn't like it but she won't tell him that because she is afraid to hurt his feelings. I'm afraid she's going to get in trouble because of this one day. Is it normal that she doesn't care about her own feelings even if it's bad for her?

    Tell her she needs to stand up for herself. If you want to be an even awesome-r friemd, you can always tell this guy to stop yourself if she won't.

    Hopefully, she'll realize that her feelings are just as important as someone else's. At least she has a friend like you looking out for her in the meantime, right.

    She could always laugh him off by saying something like, "Hey you! Don't touch what you can't afford!"

    No, that doesn't seem normal to me. Although not everyone is always completely in tune with their own feelings and wishes, ignoring them for the sake of others is a bit extreme. Did she possibly suffer a traumatic event or have an unhappy childhood? Just as an example, this could be normal behaviour for someone who had to be overly considerate and always put their own needs last to please others or not to upset anyone.
