The opposite: intimacy is to *reduce* vulnerability Good intimacy is when you can share things with someone and it's *not* vulnerable, because you know they won't hurt you. If there's doubt — eg your models of them say they may hurt you / you don't know — you're taking a risk.https://twitter.com/BLUNDERBUSSTED/status/1251667761169944582 …

I don't think that is vulnerability though. That's knowing some well enough that you're not vulnerable even when you reveal things that would bite you if you revealed to an enemy. It's similarly not vulnerable to hang out with a gym rat friend. They're not gonna hurt you.

Ah, I think there’s no real disagreement then, only semantics. Most people who praise vulnerability are in favor of doing things that *look superficially* like they could be dangerous, and might scare you, rather than things that are actually dangerous.

Intimacy basically consists of things that you would fear to do with just anyone but that you can safely do with someone you trust.
