Was posting in another thread and was reminded of an conversation I had with my pops when I was young

He told me when he was younger, he was running the streets chasing women (a cousin showed a photo album of him and random girls one Christmas, s*** was a trip, he got with mad women before my mom. Then told me chasing women is no good 😵‍💫).

He told me this was because he was afraid to be intimate with someone. And he didn’t even know how to start. He was afraid of someone getting to know the real him. But once he got with my moms he made the effort to be authentic even if it costed him a relationship. They ended up getting married, and still together. So facing his fears was the right choice.

I notice a lot guys behave like my father, and some girls too. But, since my father is like this I gravitate toward people who struggle with intimacy. So, I’m not sure if this is a me thing and I wanted to see if this is a common issue or something I gotta figure out myself.

So do you want intimacy? Do you know how to be intimate? Are you afraid of intimacy?

ofc i’m afraid of intimacy

Admitting is the first step!

Yes, No, Yes

intimacy? nah im into ronaldo

I keep private by default but have absolutely no issues being intimate with the people I want to be with. I pride myself on being a learn first person. So I do not worry about how people will react to me being myself. I do my best to be a good person, have self awareness, show genuine care for others.

Question is, aside from your environment, why are you worried about showing intimacy or being intimate with someone?

i’m just joshing

Twin

Lmfaooooo

Yeah I do want it

I don't mind being open but people always think there's more to me than I'm letting on

But tbh I haven't found too many people that I'd want to be mutually intimate with

No I want a ps5

Next thread: Do you want nutrition? do you know how to eat? Are you afraid of food?
