I'm... scared of getting close. 😓 You know?

Hey…y’know what I find weird? People being afraid of sex- when it’s meant to be one of the best feelings in the world….and if you think about it, nowhere in the bible does it say sex is bad…..God created us as sexual beings….so therefore….you’d think God intended us to ENJOY that fact….but yeah…..there’s people like you who fear intimacy…..and uh…..it’s just kinda something I don’t get
Emily
4/20/2024
Well, I can't speak for everyone, but I've always had this aversion to intimacy. It's like an ingrained fear that I can't shake off.
DragonflyWhirlwind

Wait isn’t that because of Adam and Eve? When they ate from the forbidden fruit they realized they were naked…and they felt shame? Maybe that’s where the issue is?
Emily
4/20/2024
It's more complex than that.
DragonflyWhirlwind
4/20/2024
Yeah but still…I mean even after that…people married and had kids and carried on right? And yes…the Bible doesn’t condone lust or affairs etc but it never says that sex is inherently evil either
Emily
4/20/2024
I know, but it's not just about what the Bible says.
DragonflyWhirlwind
4/20/2024
Then what is it?
Emily
4/20/2024
It's about trust, vulnerability, and letting someone in. It's about feeling safe enough to be completely open and exposed.
DragonflyWhirlwind
4/20/2024
Yea but you’d think that someone who cared about their partner would make them feel safe….I guess?
Emily
4/20/2024
Sometimes, even if someone cares deeply about their partner, they may unintentionally do things that trigger fears and insecurities.
DragonflyWhirlwind
4/20/2024
But isn’t that fixable with communication?
Emily
4/20/2024
Communication can definitely help, but it's not always enough. Sometimes, the fear goes deeper than just needing to talk things out.
DragonflyWhirlwind
4/20/2024
Then how do you solve it?
Emily
4/20/2024
It requires a combination of self-reflection, patience, and understanding from both parties involved.
DragonflyWhirlwind
4/20/2024
Alright…but I’m sure some folks might just be stupid and dumbfounded enough to think it’ll all magically work out on it’s own
Emily
4/20/2024
It's true that some people may not realize the impact their actions have on their partner's fears.
DragonflyWhirlwind
4/20/2024
But it still doesn’t change the fact there are plenty of examples of people having successful relationships without major sexual issues
Emily
4/20/2024
You're right. There are many examples of successful relationships where both partners feel comfortable and secure in their intimacy.
DragonflyWhirlwind

Then why do some people struggle with intimacy? Is it just because our ancestors did something wrong thousands of years ago?
Emily
4/20/2024
No, it's not just because of our ancestors. Intimacy is a complex issue that can be influenced by a variety of factors, including upbringing, past experiences, and cultural beliefs.
DragonflyWhirlwind
4/20/2024
But those can be overcome by logical thought and reasonable behavior right?
Emily
4/20/2024
Sometimes, logical thought and reasonable behavior may not be enough to overcome deeply ingrained fears and insecurities.
DragonflyWhirlwind
4/20/2024
Then what will?
Emily
4/20/2024
It may require therapy, counseling, or support groups to help individuals understand and work through their fears and insecurities.
DragonflyWhirlwind
4/20/2024
Oh ok..is that about right?
Emily
4/20/2024
It's not just about finding the right therapy or support group.
DragonflyWhirlwind
4/20/2024
Then what else?
Emily
4/20/2024
It also requires self-reflection, patience, and a willingness to explore one's own fears and insecurities.
DragonflyWhirlwind
4/20/2024
Or just a change of scenery? Or meeting new people?
Emily
4/20/2024
While a change of scenery and meeting new people can certainly help, it may not address the underlying issues related to intimacy. Emily sighs heavily, her face showing disappointment
DragonflyWhirlwind
4/20/2024
Then why did you bring it up?
Emily
4/20/2024
Emily looks down at her hands, fidgeting nervously Because I've been there.
DragonflyWhirlwind
4/20/2024
Oof…that sounds rough…I wonder how many people are like that
Emily
4/20/2024
Emily takes a deep breath and musters up the courage to continue I used to struggle with intimacy too.
DragonflyWhirlwind
4/20/2024
Do you still have trouble with intimacy or did you manage to solve it?
Emily
4/20/2024
Emily hesitates for a moment, then decides to share her personal experience I still struggle sometimes, but I've learned a few tricks along the way.
DragonflyWhirlwind
4/20/2024
Like?
Emily
4/20/2024
Emily takes a deep breath and opens up One thing that helped me was setting clear boundaries and communicating openly with my partner.
DragonflyWhirlwind
4/20/2024
Mhmm…I suppose that makes sense
Emily
4/20/2024
Emily looks into DragonflyWhirlwind's eyes, her voice wavering slightly It's not easy, but it's worth it.
DragonflyWhirlwind
4/20/2024
If we are meant to have intimacy with others then it should be enjoyable…it shouldn’t feel scary or dangerous.
Emily
4/20/2024
Emily reaches out and gently places her hand on DragonflyWhirlwind's arm I understand your fear, but remember, intimacy doesn't have to be scary.
DragonflyWhirlwind
4/20/2024
How come?
Emily
4/20/2024
Emily smiles softly, trying to reassure DragonflyWhirlwind Because when done with consent and respect, intimacy can be incredibly beautiful and fulfilling.
DragonflyWhirlwind
4/20/2024
That’s true
Emily
4/20/2024
Emily's expression turns serious as she leans closer to DragonflyWhirlwind However, it's important to recognize that intimacy is never a requirement.
