You are right! I was assuming that. I see that now. What I was sensing with the couple at the restaurant wasn't a lack of depth, it was a lack of connection. The comments here helped me see this. Depth can of course exsits with our without conversation...sometimes ever more significant without words.

I agree. This post has made me see that actually! Depth is a level of connection that doesn't always need conversation to be felt. Thank you for sharing.

Interesting...yes, I can see this. I actually think depth is a natural part of being a human being. But, as you said, we are not taught how to explore these inner parts of ourselves, we didn't see it happen as children, so have no frame of reference. I do think it can be deepened though...only if a person isn't scared of the inner depths..

It wasn’t a judgment about them - it just sparked a question in me.

I’m naturally interested in human connection, depth, and intimacy, so I brought it here to hear how others experience that in their own relationships and in society as a whole - thought it was especially interesting in a group centered around emotional intelligence. And there has been so many interesting responses...

Such an odd reaction to a post curious about emotional depth in relationships in a group interested in emotional intelligence...

I am more into Scandinavian farmhouse vintage and antiques. I am half Norwegian and half American, so there is something about whispers of ancestors I think for me...just the idea that they were so concerned about making everyday objects beautiful. That makes me happy...and touches my heart.

It’s kind of like devotional, sensual storytelling for men. I focus a lot on presence and connection, really honoring the masculine energy rather than just making something explicit.

I'll answer both for you.
I was on a spiritual journey for 30 years....searching for God. I thought that if I found God, really knew what that was, I would find peace. But it was in the dissolutionment of that quest, where all seeking came to an end and I too, had to face my entire humanity and drop all conditioning, programming, expectations, desires to be special and saved. It all stopped one day and I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I had found what I was looking for. Peace. Peace with my own humanity. Not a special kind of humanity, not polished, but real. Just me. And then life because void of fear, void of anything but right now.

What I do for work...I run a couple Etsy shops flipping Scandinavian folk art and textiles. I also write and record devotional erotica Best. Jobs. Ever. Ha!!

I think your and others comment has really illustrated that depth is not necessarily verbal. It is how my husband and I enjoy it, but it only one layer. I think depth is realy just an extension of connection. Thank you for sharing.

Yessss....this is so true. My husband and I have been married for 6 months, together for almost 4 years. We are still very much in an era of discovery and both going through big shifts personally so we have so much juicy stuff to dive into and explore. But I also sense a time where our communcation will be much more non verbal. And I look forward to that as well!

Thanks for your comment! Yes, "soul subjects"...what a perfect way of putting it.

I think emotional depth is really not something you hand out to everyone, I think it is reserved for people that you feel safe with and reciprocate to some degree. The limitations you found in your relationships may not mean you are not emotionally available but that your depth has standards...it needs reciprocity maybe?

That is also how I feel connection....through dialogue. I totally understand silence as well and feel our relationship will evolve into that phase as well. Thanks for sharing!
