Gee,

I can understand you are missing a good friend, a confidant, someone who takes the time to care and listen to you.  That’s a good friend.

I see in relationships we can have various kinds of intimacies: sexual, physical, intellectual, spiritual, and emotional.  I know sometimes for me that emotional intimacy evokes a desire to create a romantic relationship with the other person.  I do have emotional intimacy with my close friends.  You don’t have to have a romantic relationship with people you are intimate with.

I would encourage you to find others whom you can share yourself with.

Mark
