Intimacy

In chapter 8, communication and relational dynamics, they discuss the true dynamics of relationships. In the text I read about why we form relationships. Intimacy is one of the many reasons why we form relationships. This goes for all humans, even the ones that like to be by themselves or bitter and lonely. Everyone needs intimacy to feel fulfilled, this helps relationships form. Many people can even suffer from health problems from the lack of intimacy. When my mom got a divorce she became really sick and over the years her health got worse, including depression. I personally feel if you don’t have intimacy in your life it’s hard to form relationships. Emotional intimacy is very important because it helps express yourself. It helps form human bonds with others. This varies from relationship to relationship. I personally feel that you really have to know yourself in order to convey in intimacy. This is very important because if you have problems with yourself and don’t love yourself then it’s hard to show intimacy in a relationship. Overall I believe that intimacy is a big part in how relationships form. If there is no form of intimacy in relationships then its hard for them to grow and form.
