Part of the ongoing Fear Chronicles series that I started back in Jan/06 to hold myself accountable to my own fears and as a personal inquiry into the dynamic nature of fear as it plays out on various levels within our lives. Sometimes serious, sometimes not so much.

  • wow this is good.

  • Thanks!

  • Good video, and all the comments were equally good!

  • Thanks. I still have a few more vids I just have to finish editing in this series...I'm getting lazy..lol

  • Grammar Girl has temporarily taken over me when I say that I suddenly find it interesting how the following two words sound similar:

    intimate

    intimidate

    And yet they are polar opposites...

    And yet sometimes intimacy is intimidating...

    (And did I screw up the spelling?)

  • Annie, I don't know how I missed this comment from a couple of months ago. You probably won't even remember the vid, but I just wanted to say thanks for watching and commenting.

    I still have a few of these vids waiting to be polished and uploaded...maybe that says something about my fear of the subject...lol

see all

  • PART 4 Generally, they remain unaware of this state of affairs and play the game out to the end, punishing anyone who challenges their defensive posture"

  • PART 3 There are forces—both familial and societal—that support the idealization of family, reinforce people's negative views of themselves, and keep them moving in the direction of their conventionally programmed destiny. Compliance with this programming diminishes people's lives. Individuals in effect perform for others and are more concerned with image than the actuality of their experience and the gratification of their needs and values.

  • PART 1 From Dr. Robert Firestone's book "Fear of Intimacy"

     "The fear of intimacy is not solely a fear of being close to another person, but also is based on existential fears. Being close to another in a loving relationship makes one aware that life is precious, but must eventually be surrendered. lf we embrace life, we must also face death's inevitability. Because of existential fears, most people avoid being original, being a real self.

  • PART 2 Occasionally, a rare individual does not conform to childhood conditioning processes, refuses traditional solutions, and develops into a genuine, feeling individual, realizing his or her potential as a human being.

    However, most people achieve little and separation from their original programming. To the extent that they are blindly following the course laid out by their parents, family members, and society, they are not really living their own lives.

  • (PART 1) From Dr Robert Firestone's book "Fear Of Intimacy"

    "The fear of intimacy is not solely a fear of being close to another person, but also is based on existential fears. Being close to another in a loving relationship makes one aware that life is precious, but must eventually be surrendered. lf we embrace life, we must also face death's inevitability.

  • Yep, there are a lot of wise heads here, sharing their views, intimately so, on intimacy or "into me see". Thanks. :-)
