Emotional intimacy
I struggle to open myself up to people. When I've tried, they've made me feel like what I've shared wasn't important. It gets very lonely feel like an island. I have many acquaintances, but not close friends.

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.
