Real Intimacy, Fake Closeness, and Why We Don't Like That

from How To Be Real · host How To Be Real

Real intimacy has gotten confused with being seen. With shows like Love Island, Love Is Blind & others (that we watch + enjoy 😅) shaping how we think about closeness, real intimacy is getting lost in the plot. This week, we get into intimacy in the age of overexposure, talk about what our real-life superpowers are, send some love to NY for the Knicks playoff energy, and a new round of our fave segment "I Don't Like That."If you’re more of a visuals girlie, catch up on our YouTube channelAAAND…💌 Send us a letter or question to be featured on the show, [email protected]😉 Subscribe for more conversations that go beneath the surface🎧 Find us on Apple + Spotify📩 Join our Substack: How To Be Real This is a public episode.
