I'm not sure if this is the correct forum, so forgive me (or punch me; but be gentle).
I have a lot of trouble forming romantic relationships with other people. I'm not sure why, but the more somebody forces me into moving into that area, I recoil, and try whatever I can to stay away. I think this comes from trust issues or the inability to connect fully, but I hardly ever fall in love, and almost prefer to be alone than to be with people. Also, I almost never try to have sex with other people, but people try to push themselves on me. I don't understand sex for only the purpose of sex; I'd rather form a genuine and honest relationship, but it seems people only want brief sexual encounters. Maybe this comes from being raised with traditional principles about sex and love, but I feel almost asexual or schizoid when it comes to dating.
Are there any other INTPs, or for that matter NTs, who feel similar? Maybe I'm thinking too much about people's behaviors, but I hate being pushed into decisions without first mulling over it for a long time.
