Talk:Emotional intimacy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How does this definition draw a distinction from, say, "emotional gossip"? Mikkalai 07:37, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Gossip is communication about third parties. Intimacy is communication about each other. If this definition doesn't make that distinction clear, it needs to be changed. You might as well do it 'cos I'm off to bed -- it's sleepy time for me. -- Derek Ross 07:41, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Additions to page...

I hope you find my addition to the page acceptable. I am currently researching this topic and would be happy to continue to develop this stub. This is the first wikipedia.org stub I have expanded so please feel free to send feedback, suggestions, or just curious ideas. martin.lopatka@gmail.com

[edit] Minor nit

"It is necessary for human beings to have this form of intimacy on a regular basis..."

Necessary? I wouldn't say so, it's perfectly possible to go through life without being emotionally intimate with anybody. Bob the Pirate 19:27, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

I have a major problem with that final sentence, and it is the sole reason I put up the neutrality template. -Crimson Phantom
