Gay Men Going Deeper

Fear of Intimacy


Listen Later

Today, we are unpacking a seldom-discussed, but deeply relevant issue within the gay community: Fear of Intimacy. 

Many men grapple with the challenge of opening up emotionally and forging meaningful connections. Often, we find ourselves settling for superficial encounters while yearning for something more meaningful. Today we’re discussing how the same emotional walls that protect us from getting hurt can also leave us feeling isolated and lonely.  

In this episode, we are going deeper into the fear of intimacy – its roots, its impact on our relationships, and how we are overcoming these barriers. Some of the topics we’ll be covering are:

  • Signs of having a fear of intimacy 
  • Why we fear the thing we want 
  • Social conditioning
  • The impact of past relationship traumas  
  • The power of vulnerability 
  • Attachment styles 
  • Join us as we share our own experiences with this topic in an effort to shed light on this important issue and dismantle the internal barriers to the deeper connections we truly deserve.
