RE: EcoTrain QOTW: What is intimacy?

in ecoTrain5 years ago

I miss social intimacy. I like to be especially kind to people who work with the public. The mask wearing blocks our connecting through complexes facial cues. I didn’t realize I got back as much as I gave even if other didn’t smile, there are subtle cues that were given that were energetic and fulfilling. I am an introvert and get my energy being alone and my husband is an introvert too, we get along perfectly with no effort. We work from home and rarely go out unless we need to shop. Sexual energy is coarse and easy to see but only last moments, the subtle energies like kindness and empathy have lasting positive effects like sunlight.

I don't think i look people in the face. I just feel their emotions, so i don't miss anything not being able to see their face.

There was an article about how often you see people and how friendly you are.

When you live OUT on a farm and see people in town once in a while, you are polite, tend to stop and chat a bit.
But, when you are in a city, you see so many people that you barely give anyone the time of day.

I have seen it in action, but i am not sure it is a cause or an effect.

I always try to tell the grocery clerk a joke.

I’ve lived in downtown Chicago for five years and walked to work down Wacker, I 100% agree! We moved to rural Oregon 2010 and then to Tulsa OK 2015. We moved to the outskirts of Tulsa to avoid the crowds. I grew up on a farm and it’s a different world when compared to city life.
