I can't stand people touching me unless it's on my terms. Not quite as unhelpful, but kinda.
I think it's something that you can work on, though. Just start casually and never go beyond your comfort zone - make an effort to touch your mates, in a completely casual way, until it's something you're a little more comfortable with. Might take time, but it's worth a try?
This isn't really my area of expertise, say sorry - some days I'm cling-hugging to the world, others I'm snippy if people even touch me on the shoulder. :)
I'm like that. So so very much. The important thing is finding people who understand, and getting to a point where you can use language (verbal or body) to let them know when it's okay.
