Due to my past with alcoholic parents, high anxiety in my youth, crippling and suicidal depression without too much outside help, I have grown to be extremely emotionally self-sufficient and the thought of a relationship, both the act of acquiring one and maintaining it, just seems like a lot of trouble for little gain.
Although I'm by no means asexual. I'll be very clear on that. I entertain the idea of sexual partners yet lack the means to acquiring them. I also feel no compelling need to such an end. It is an "it'd be nice if", not an "I must have" situation.
I don't even really know why I felt like I wanted to post this here. Maybe just to vomit out feelings never shared? I guess I'd like to know if anyone ever felt similar, or had some deeper insight to donate. Either way, it's here now. Say something, or don't, it most likely will change little.

It may be kind of ironic that I 'hugged' you after this post. But anyways I felt the same way for a while, you just have to find someone who's on the same emotional/mature level you are who's looking for the same thing. Maybe you're interested in casual relationships or ones with laid back people who are not emotionally reliant or draining, since you mentioned you don't want to change your emotional self-sufficiency.
