I also have a stuffed animal that I cuddle sometimes (it just happens to be named after my marriage counselor...) Snuggling under a (faux) sherpa blanket is soothing to me, too. I think I just find soft things to be comforting.
I also find great comfort in animals, though unfortunately I don't have a pet right now. Do you have any pets? If not, is that an option? Even something smaller like a guinea pig (they can be pretty affectionate) if you couldn't get a dog or cat. Animals can give you affection that might feel more safe than from a person.
