Reply To: Becoming more than friends – am I being irrational?

I think also there’s a tendency among young people to confuse “knowing a lot about someone” with intimacy. Sharing info about yourselves does not actually mean there’s chemistry or intimacy. It just means you talked to each other and shared info, which people in older generations commonly do in general convo. Kids feel like if they “open up” and talk about their feelings and experiences then they’ve made themselves vulnerable and that’s really special.
