I guess we can conclude that Kaneki is aware that he is loved, however, due to past experiences he has a certain fear of being hurt by those who love him, since his Mother, the only thing he had was turned agaisn't him he might have that crushing is heart from the start.

This fear makes him want to die, so that he may never have to feel this betrayal again, because he's better off dead than living and feeling that. Just saying this from his point of view. For example, many couples break up because one person has the fear and assumption that he/she's going to be betrayed eventually, so they rather end it before that happens.

I think that there is only one thing that can save Kaneki, after his mother had left him he only had one thing: Hide. Hide has to appear, not now, but he has to, so he can slap some sense into Kaneki.
