Intimacy is about being completely yourself with another person, which is often obscured in the early stages of dating due to social pressures.

Intimacy and trust are fundamentally about being your true self with your partner and allowing vulnerability, respect, and admiration for each other's unique qualities.

Having open conversations about fears and flaws with a partner can significantly enhance intimacy and understanding in a relationship.

It's important to recognize that you don't have to be fully formed before entering a relationship; growth often happens in connection with others.

Building trust in a relationship requires vulnerability, and that vulnerability, when reciprocated, strengthens the bond between partners.

It's crucial to communicate who you are to your partner so they understand your needs and can choose to be with you or not, as this world could use a lot more upfront, completely honest conversation; so many problems arise because everyone dances around issues.

True intimacy and deep relationships are far more valuable than the fleeting satisfaction of casual encounters, which can diminish the meaning of human connection.

Self-actualization is crucial for healthy relationships. You need to understand yourself and what you need before rushing into relationships.

Learning to have great sex involves being present and engaged in the experience with a partner, rather than passively consuming sexual content.
