Hey, I read the article and I totally get where you’re coming from! Intimacy and deep connections can have a huge impact on our mental well-being. For me, having those close, meaningful relationships has been a game-changer when it comes to dealing with tough times. It’s like having a safety net or a warm hug when things get rough. And it’s not just about romantic relationships - friendships, family connections, and even connections with ourselves play a big role. I’ve found that being open and vulnerable with the people I trust has really helped me feel supported and understood. It’s like a reminder that I’m not alone in this crazy world. How about you? Have you had similar experiences with the power of intimacy in your life?
