Isn’t love the strongest and deepest bond?
All of the above questions have the same answer: “yes and no”.
.
Don’t act distant because `intimacy` is a bridge for lonely souls
But the state of high love also has a dark side, a side that we are all very familiar with: `Love is unstable.`
And that’s because love is a very difficult psychological state to understand.
.
Family members will be more loving and attached if they always cultivate `closeness`
However, “intimacy” is not:
We can choose different methods to create “intimacy” because we know what makes people close and what doesn’t.
There are also times when “intimacy” is a worse solution than “love”: when it is applied in the workplace.
Besides, there is the fact that you don’t feel lonely when you don’t have a lover.
.
Intimacy is the feeling of comfort with each other when understanding each other’s souls and feelings
I find evidence for this in extensive research on marriage and divorce: Most people who get married, or at least in developed Western countries, say they marry for love.
Pair this fact with when marriage begins and when it ends.
.
The affection between pets and humans is `intimacy` and this affection helps both pets and humans feel less lonely.
So what can we conclude here?
It is said that relationships based on love, especially marriage, are great opportunities to create “intimacy”.
But don’t wait for a loving relationship just to find love before you take action to overcome loneliness.
