Is it wrong to feel this way?

First I would like to apologize if this seems offensive. So I have this question about the way I always feel and have felt ever since I became conscious of life. Everything that is supposed to be so enjoyable and so enticing to most people I have never been able to enjoy those things, as if there is this latent guilt that underlies everything even things I haven't done. Things like sex as well as marriage and having kids feel wrong to me and like it's a sin. I find it so strange when people are out there having it all and aren't plagued by guilt at all unlike me and yet I'm not even religious. That guiltiness seems to always hover there. I couldn't ever get into smoking or drinking or get intimate with someone marriage etc, because the remorse would eat me alive to the point of feeling suicidal and helpless. I'm not hateful towards children or anything I am very introverted and only speak if I absolutely have to, but I feel sad and alone in this, because it seems like if you stay single forever and never settle down or create a family, people might think I'm selfish or have something wrong with me. Thank you

    As a married man with a child starting her first year of school, I cannot relate.

    But, it seems to me there is something around that lifestyle distastes you, or doesn't suit you. There's nothing wrong with that. I think more people would focus on who you were, than who you weren't. So just be yourself.
