At the atomic level, the electrons in the outermost shells of the atoms that make up our bodies, when brought near the electrons of another object- say, another person- repel each other. That repelling of like-charged particles is what gives us the illusion of contact. However, in a very real sense, we never touch.
Is that why we spend our lives trying so hard to make an emotional connection to each other?
