Am I the only one here who likes close physical contact with other living beings?

I found that whilst I don't like having close personal contact of any sort forced on me, I fundamentally enjoy close physical contact with another living being.

I Like "hugs", curling up with a cat on the sofa (or indeed in bed), getting into bed when there is someone else there. 

Yet here this forum seems chock full of people who do not seem to.

I was just wondering if there is anyone else who understands that fundamental sense of happiness and "rightness" I feel when I am close to another living breathing mammal. (I've no real experience of insects or reptiles. Although I can't think of any insect I'd want to cosy up next to...)

  • I need hugs and affection from my Wife and Daughter regularly. I need to know that I am loved and my way to combat daily anxiety due to sensory issues regarding work and life are best regulated through touch and verbal reassurance that I am loved. It's a shock when my Daughter says she loves me, because she's got ASD with PDA, so it means a lot.
