Is anyone else horribly touch-starved?

I am so jealous of everyone who doesn't "need" physical contact and just sees it as a fun bonus. I feel like my life is way worse without cuddles. When I see my friends they usually give me a long welcome & goodbye hug and that helps somewhat, but it can't replace a good cuddle. I used to get way less nightmares when I had someone to spoon me in bed. Pets don't make any difference, they somehow don't "scratch the itch" at all for me :(
