Confidence Tips to Help Overcome Fear of Intimacy

The fear of intimacy and fear of vulnerability can sabotage your relationship with others, and also the confidence with which you carry yourself in the world. The good news is that you can learn how to be yourself in a relationship, how to stop trying so hard, how to feel your feelings, how to loosen up, how to break the fear of intimacy and learn to trust others. It all starts with learning how to apply some basic confidence tips and confidence habits in your life.
 
Strong habits lead to a strong relationship with yourself. The quality of your life is a reflection of the quality of your habits. These confidence habits create a solid foundation to help you feel confident in allowing others to be close to you.
 
Learn to be intimate with yourself
 
To let others be close to you, you first have to learn how to be close to yourself.
This seems simple, but it is shockingly rare that we prioritize knowing ourselves and creating time in our busy lives for self-discovery, self-awareness and self-friendship.
 
-Journal (I used to be too busy to connect with my thoughts, was scared of what I couldn't seem to manage in my mind)
-Stretch and touch your body (I used to hide from myself)
-Mirror work "I love you"
-Being friends and in relationship with yourself
 
When you know, like and trust yourself, you are more open to being your full and true self. When you are your full and true self, and feel free and safe to be that, you'll be happy to be intimate with others.
 
Learn to practice vulnerability with others
 
This can start small. Trusting someone to do what they said they would do. Asking for help. Learning to hug the people in your life you want to hug without awkwardness or explanation.
 
-Identify where you're closed off (emotional, physical, etc.)
-Know the types of intimacy & vulnerability - physical, emotional, intellection
-Practice loosening up and opening up
-We learn trust by being willing to try
 
Once you start small, continue to build on it. If you're married, let the exploration of vulnerability be a continued part of your intimate conversations - and not just physical vulnerability, but emotional and intellectual vulnerability.
 
Know the Prize
 
It takes courage to be intimate. That means it takes effort and choice, and an active management of fear thoughts and talking back to the opportunist brain. To do all that, you have to know that intimacy with worth it.
 
-Intimacy leads to connection
-Connection makes us feel belonging and confidence
-Self-worth sky-rockets
 
Connection, belonging, understanding, community, all give a solid and secure sense of self, and ability to show up in the world with your head high, your joy flowing and your curiosity about what is possible for you primed and peaked.
