I think I'm a lot like you in this sense, but for me it might be because I haven't been spiritual in so many, many years. I don't remember what it felt like to 'like' myself, and I think that may be key to being spiritually healthy.
Buddhist Churches of America has a class at their main temple in Berkeley, "Crossing Over to Jodo Shinshu" that's primarily focused on people like me, who grew up in a Judeo-Christian family and never felt the love in it. I'm seriously thinking about going next year. One guy in my Temple did and he talked about how profound it was to be with people who grew up Buddhist and never had that... I don't know. Connection?

That didn't make a lot of sense, did it? ;-)
