There are disadvantages

.
.........to being a lone wolf.

"There is a primal reassurance in being touched, in knowing that someone else, someone close to you, wants to be touching you. There is a bone-deep security that goes with the brush of a human hand, a silent, reflex-level affirmation that someone is near, that someone cares.

It seemed that, lately, I had barely been touched at all"

Touching, connecting. Affirmation that someone knows you are there... and is glad of that.
Must be a wonderful feeling.
