#closeness — Public Fediverse posts

Great paper by #PrasetiaUtamaPutra and #FumihiroKano published in #CommunicationsPsychology: successful #coordination was most strongly associated with #anticipation of one’s own action outcomes, outperforming physiological #synchrony, motor behavior, demographic characteristics, and social #closeness. Partners whose #predictions of their own action outcomes were more closely aligned coordinated better, likely because each behaved in ways the other implicitly expected.

"Successful coordination emerges from aligned #SelfPredictions in a #dynamic #motor #interaction"

Ornament, or: Architecture

From a distance, all these beams
may look like ornament:
each question polished,
each distinction raised too high.
  
Come closer.
I build this carefully,
testing every joint and word,
not to tower above you,
  
but to make a place
where you can feel safe.

d’Verse Quadrille

The above poem is my take on d’Verse’s Quadrille challenge.

The Quadrille is simply a poem of 44 words (excluding the title), and it can take any form. This week’s challenge was to use the word “care” in a Quadrille.

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

–Ben Harper (b. 1969)

Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!

Let's reduce on the closeness and physicality of connection.

And get quantum physical.

Visible physics anyway imply quantum physics

but if the nature of quantum physics is not considered than general physicality is just a game of pretending or really believing to want superficiality and the opposite playing with that supposed need.

In clear words: to want bodily closeness just opens the door for manipulation along that physical need.

A quotation from Ouida

The longest absence is less perilous to love than the terrible trials of incessant proximity.

Ouida (1839-1908) English novelist [pseud. of Maria Louise Ramé]
Friendship, ch. 11 (1878)

The closest form of closeness is no distance at all.

When the veil of "me" and "you" collapses, what remains isn’t connection — it is sameness.

Presence recognizing itself, without gap, without bridge, without need.

Sex is physical communication.
I need to know that [the person I want to communicate intimate things with] knows: possible outcomes (lol tho), possible risks, and is enthusiastic to continue.

To feel sure that they know it (and feel comfortable saying no to me), I need them to demonstrate key details and confidence to relay their desires.

But you can still *talk* to people you don't want to fuck, right? Like... cis het people aren't really going around only spending time on people they want to fuck... RIGHT?!

This is What #Avoidant People Wish You Knew

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdwhmZx6DWo

You want to let people in—truly, you do—but every time #closeness feels too real, something inside whispers, be careful. For those who feel avoidant, #connection is both the thing they crave and the thing that terrifies them most. It’s not #coldness; it’s #selfprotection shaped by fear of #rejection, #pastwounds, and #emotions that sometimes feel too big to carry.

Wisdom for the night:

Many people fail at #love because their #fear of opening up to the other person is greater than their longing for #closeness and #trust, and their bad experiences are stronger than their best hopes.
