Hypersensitive to touch but want a hug from someone....

I also often feel the need for a hug, but have found it difficult.  I'm only mildly hypersensitive in touch (hearing on the other hand..), but I have issues with personal space.  What I've actually boiled the need down to is to feel close to someone I'm comfortable with, it doesn't need to be a hug in my case.  There are very few people I am comfortable being close to (nobody in my family).  Even when I'm comfortable with someone I often find that something smaller than a hug, perhaps just touching hands, is easier but still gives the comfort of knowing that person is there.  Not knowing how your hypersensitivity affects you I don't know if this would work, or even if it would give you the contact you need, but what if you placed your hand on someone else's hand or arm - you'd be in control of the sensation and I guess that you're able to manage to sense in your hands and fingertips more so as I assume it's something you have to deal with in more everyday situations.
