Scared of intimacy is positively a grown up problem. Scared of intimacy consists the unwillingness to open up and expose your true self, perhaps since you've been hurt in the past. Or, if you grew up in an emotionally and socially closed environment and never learned how to be defenseless to either friends or lovers, you may have a hard time opening up now. This is scared of intimacy. We've all been cheated on and hurt by loved ones in big and small ways, a thousand tiny treacheries. In spite of of the pain was by chance or deliberately caused, we're naturally reluctant to open ourselves up again. Not wanting to get hurt can lead to an extreme fear of intimacy.
Personality characteristics such as introversion and extroversion can also add to scariness of intimacy issues, and so can gloominess and anxiety.
Scared f intimacy is unusual than fear of commitment. You can be married and not know your partner expressively, rationally, or morally. In fact, loneliness in marriage is harder than being lonely as a single person or widow. Marital loneliness springs from scariness of intimacy in one or both partners.
The strongest base of an intimate relationship is a good friendship. Whether you're friends or lovers (or both) there are three elements of a strong, healthy relationship: genuineness, communication, and honestness. These three elements can lower the feeling of being scared of intimacy.
Three elements that reduce fear of intimacy:
Genuineness: your feelings should not be deceptive. If you feel angry or betrayed, you state yourself with words and behavior. Make an effort to say sentences such as "I feel sad because I hoped to see you there," or "I'm angry and frustrated as I was relying on you to take the garbage out, and now the garbage truck won't be back for another week." as an alternative of hiding behind scariness of intimacy, step out and reveal yourself. You'll feel susceptible and terrified - there's no getting around that!
Communication: communal self-disclosure happens when the two of you share your personal and everyday knows. You open up at the similar level; for example, you both talk about experiences of being denounced in the past or neither of you shares it. You assemble each other at the same level in terms of the amount and type of personal experiences and thoughts you unveil. If mutual self-disclosure doesn't happen, then you're in a crazy relationship. One partner has opened their heart, while the other has out of sight it away. This is scariness of intimacy that can be condensed simply by talking about it.
Honestness: You talk about what's happening on in your life, how you in truth feel and what you really think. You make public what's imperative to you, which builds trust in your relationship. You don't play games, such as expecting your partner to read your mind or dropping hints in its place of saying what you really mean. You may at rest have a feeling of being scared of intimacy, but you're honest about it.
The longer being scare of intimacy festers, the poorer it gets - and the more complicated it is to overcome. Now's the time to face your fear of intimacy and embark on a bigger, deeper life!
