Of course, love always seemed to me to be something you feel when you find a normal relationship, where you can look into the future and never see the end. I've been hit so hard with feelings for a partner that it literally felt like my head was floating after she left and it brought me to my knees with uncontrollable sobbing later that night, but she was literally a drug herself and I knew it, though I constantly denied it. So no, I've never felt love, but I believe that I could.
I don't think that humanity as a whole has an instinctive isolating behavior - maybe just INTp's. It's the polr Fe that everybody else seems to enjoy that we haven't the slightest clue what to do with.
