The definition of intimacy

close familiarity or friendship; closeness.

That is the actual definition of ‘intimacy’. It’s not about sexual relationships or sex itself as its explained here:

But that’s like really at the heart of all I really want when I break it down.

For now I see relationships in a bad light because of the relationships I’ve had growing up.

Mostly my relationship to love is abandonment.

People just leave and don’t care when you need them. Essentially that.

Like the video explains, many of us are responded to negatively for our neediness. So we associate that our need for closeness is ‘bad’ and ‘wrong’.

Aaand… we suppress it! I’m more aware of it as important to me as my pain grows from being disconnected from my needs.

Needs are also grossly misunderstood as ‘physical’ like food, water, clothing, etc. It’s not. If it were people would not commit suicide after losing someone.

That’s the actual truth of it.
