Do these actions mean anything at all?

[green apples]

When guys/guy friends accidentally brush your hand or shoulder, or touch you lightly (deliberately or not, who knows?), or punch you lightly and say I just feel like doing that, is that a sign of interest?

 

Or should these actions not be over-read into?

[Kinder-Horror]

Well "accidentally brushing your shoulder" suggests it was an accident. "Deliberately, or not" actually kind of matters here!

 

Playful punching, etc sounds flirty - but it also sounds like you might be reading way too much into.

Yea, those things are usually signs of flirtation. People rarely brush hands or shoulders by accident but I guess that's a possibility, but lightly punching your arm is a form of flirting. All these things combined, it points to someone who's probably interested in you.

Yep, I know it's difficult to read just based on these. Just checking.

Can anyone enlighten on why people like to "touch" people they like?

Yea, we need some context to this physical contact...

At a fundamental level: Touch --> physical and physical --> sex; so touch --> sex.

Actually there's not much of a context. We're friends and sometimes when we're talking or walking along the streets, he would just brush against me or put his hand on my back lightly.

Someone too philosophy 101!
