Toddler not affectionate is it normal?

My two year old has always been so independent and never been particularly cuddly. She never gives hugs or wants to be held. I'm starting to think it's something I've done. She has a comforter that she loves and is probably a bit (too) attached to. She goes to sleep with it and also has it by her side of through the day too. If she gets annoyed or frustrated she often shouts for it and gets really annoyed if I don't get it to her quick enough.
If she hurts herself or falls or something she never wants to be hugged or held.
Is it possible I've made her too reliant on the comforter rather than me? It does hurt as I feel rejected and often just feel I get very little back from her and feel so pushed away when I feel I'm giving so much.
