HOW TO UNLOCK DEEPER CONNECTIONS | VANESSA VAN EDWARDS
Vanessa Van Edwards, an expert in communication and human behavior analysis, examines the three levels of intimacy in human relationships. Her studies are based on research conducted by Dan McAdams, which revealed how individuals often find themselves stuck at these different levels.
The first level identified by McAdams is that of "general traits." This level pertains to superficial information such as occupation, age, and gender, which we often focus on during initial interactions. However, Van Edwards emphasizes the importance of surpassing this level to deepen the connection.
The second level, defined as "personal concerns," represents the point where Van Edwards likes to focus. This level involves the motivations, values, and passions that drive a person. Vanessa suggests asking questions such as "Have you experienced anything exciting recently?" or "What is your current hobby?" to explore personal concerns and create a deeper connection.
Finally, the third level, known as "self-narrative," is the most intimate and profound level that we only reach with a few very close individuals. Self-narrative pertains to the story a person tells themselves about themselves, influencing behavior and self-understanding. When someone shares their deepest fear, they provide an indication of all three levels.
