As you know, I have similar issues.
Standing and giving a hug is so awkward to me that I would just as soon never ever do it, although a cousin of mine gave me a great bearhug that felt just right. But that's one hug out of how many? I don't know how people get good at that. They must have fewer body parts, because it seems like one or another of mine is always in the wrong place.
You're a cat person, right? One of my favorite types of touch is lying in bed surrounded by warm furry bodies. Or even just one curled up under my arm.
I think that with the exception of my husband, pets would be the best bet for contact for me.
