Many introverts crave deep connection but feel drained or exposed by emotional closeness. In this episode, I’m redefining emotional intimacy — not as oversharing or emotional overexposure, but as safety, steadiness, and mutual presence.

We’ll talk about how highly sensitive introverts experience connection differently, why emotional boundaries are essential for healthy relationships, and how community and friendships can feel supportive instead of overwhelming. This episode is not about romance — it’s about building meaningful connection in ways that respect your emotional energy.

If you want deeper relationships without emotional burnout, pressure, or guilt, this conversation will help you rethink what emotional intimacy really means — and how to create it at a pace that feels safe for you.
