Where do you see yourself on a scale from difficulties relating/connecting to absence of interest in others?
If you were to paint a picture of intimacy, what would it look like?

naps wrote:Even though I've been experiencing it most of my life, I still toggle back and forth between an interest (as opposed to want) in intimacy with someone and a disinterest/aversion/fear of it. I think this has less to do with being on the cusp of overriding such a fear than it does with other issues I have with other with people that help reinforce it.

I am surprised at what you guys wrote, I was expecting the picture to be dark.
Intimacy as it is portrayed in movies and TV shows (mostly American ones), I find repulsive. I am not sure whether it denotes a fear of trusting people or an abhorrence of certain conventions you're supposed to abide to in order to look intimate.
