HOW TO CREATE REAL INTIMACY: WHAT REAL INTIMACY IS AND WHY IT MATTERS

So what exactly is real intimacy?

Real intimacy is expansive. It’s about closeness, connection, and familiarity. You can’t have it without being intentional– it’s consensual and gives a sense of belonging. It can build over time as trust in a relationship grows, deeper bonds are developed, and common interests are discovered. You and another developed this feeling through trust, time, vulnerability, connection.
