Emotional intimacy

A lot of people can't handle depth; it's all surface-level, so when they are pulled into it, they don't know how to respond. You find it hard to open up because it is felt so deeply, and words can't always convey that; they just can't, so when you do finally open up, it feels like nobody gets it, and I don't know if you feel this way, but I have this need to emerge fully because only then will they feel what I am feeling and “get it." I hope you can find someone on that same emotional level—someone who gets it and stays around to give you the support.

I was told years ago "you have a lot of acquaintances, not friends". Not much has changed

Finding close friend is difficult.
I have none at the moment. My last close friend was many years ago.
I guess it’s probably easier to find girlfriend/boyfriend

Many people just hear when you talk. When this happen often, you try to close yourself.
You need real listener, who listens and understands.
I know how it feels.

You don't need people like that in your life. I can count my rl friends on the fingers of one finger. Doesn't bother me though. Quality, not quantity for me.
It's pretty mean to be so dismissive of what someone has to say.
Hard to know when and how to open up enough to make a true friend. Wish you luck 🤗

I think you need to be surrounded by emotionally intelligent people, only then you will be understood and have peace of mind. I also have struggled with people not been able to understand me.

I feel the same way - acquaintances, no close friends
