INTIMATE

 

Aha, fooled you.  This is no poem, no story,

this is a rant.

 

The term intimate scares the pants off

people.  People seem to think intimate means

their sex lives.

 

Intimate means:  The inmost character of a

thing or person. 

So, why does that word scare people ?

Well, you know and I know that intimate

scares us because people think, or have been

led to believe it means something about their

underclothing , or who they have been sleeping

with, or what somebody thinks, dirty stuff.

 

What do you think about INTIMACY ?

Really ?  Scared to mention it  ?

Intimacy is when two people connect deeply and you let someone in our your most guarded feelings and thoughts. Intimacy is when someone can take a look into your eyes and know if you are upset despite the fake smile or if you are feeling mischievous by the sparkle that gleams there. Being intimate is when you have a secret place you like to go to be alone with that person and simply listen to their heart beat as you lay you head on their chest. Those moments that you will treasure forever even if the relationship doesn't last. People are scared of intimacy because it means allowing yourself to be completely open to another being. Giving them control to hurt you and trusting them not to. It doesn't have to be a romantic relationship intimacy to me mean allowing someone to close enough to you that they could hurt you emotionally.

Intimate means something different to everyone I think, it could be a glance between lovers, it could be that moment of truth between two people, it could be those cherished times when a mother holds her child to her bosom. Intimate is only scary when it's challenged. We have intimate moments more often than we stop to realize, nice ploy though getting people to read this Eagle.

I had this argument with a man once, he thought i was intimate with everybody. He was jealous and hateful. To me, intimate means i don't stand on ceremony, i don't keep people at arms length, especially when they need a hug.

Intimacy is a word used by other people to get other people to believe that the night before was something more than what it really was.

[Kristallo]

Lol. You can count on Rosalind to give you the candid truth.

Intimate means: The inmost character of a

So true... it really does mean to know someone in all their vulnerability ... and it that way it is a bot scary.... sometimes it could be thought of in a sexual terms.... but it really shouldn't be limited to that ! I really like this!

Intimacy... The word itself conjured up the image of my journal. If someone wants to know me intimately, my writing is the place to find me. I am in my words, my characters and the very language I use. Intimacy screams "NO SECRETS." Where some people have a hard time letting others see them intimately, others are quick to wear their hearts on their sleeves. Fantastic rant! I hate the way people use the word like they should be ashamed of it.
