I couldn’t have said it better myself...
“Real intimacy has to do with trust, understanding, and feeling understood. People who are intimate--and I'm not talking about sex--reveal vulnerabilities without fear that what we share will be used against them. Intimacy relies on safety, patience, mutuality, respect, constance, and no secrets. Without healthy self-disclosure at the right time, there can be no intimacy. And that takes honesty about who we are and how we feel. The more intimate you are, the safer you feel and the more worthwhile the relationship.”
