if everything is relative in the world, then what does this have to do with touch? For example, when one person touches another, can touching be relative, that is, touch and not touch?

Relativity does not say this, so your question is based on a false premise.

The answer to this question is no, but also, the question itself has nothing to do with relativity physics, which is what this forum is about.
