Everything about Emotional Intimacy totally explained
Emotional intimacy is a dimension of
interpersonal intimacy that varies in degree and over time, much like
physical intimacy.
Affect,
emotion and
feeling may refer to different phenomena. Emotional intimacy may refer to any or all of those in both a lay or a professional context.
Emotional intimacy can be
observed in terms of verbal and
non-verbal communication. The degree of comfort, effectiveness and mutual experience of
closeness might indicate emotional intimacy between individuals. Intimate
communication is both expressed (for example talking) and implied (for example friends sitting close on a park bench in silence). Emotional intimacy depends primarily on
trust, as well as the nature of the relationship and the culture in which it's observed. Depending on the background and
conventions of the participants, emotional intimacy might involve disclosing
thoughts,
feelings and
emotions in order to reach an understanding, offer mutual support or build a sense of community. Or it might involve sharing a duty, without commentary.
Compare
physical intimacy,
sympathy,
empathy.
