🙏 We Mistook Access For Connection - Why Being Reachable Ruined Intimacy

We’ve never been more reachable.

And we’ve never felt more disconnected.

We Mistook Access for Connection examines how constant availability quietly replaced depth, presence, and emotional safety and why being able to reach someone at any time slowly eroded intimacy.

This ebook explores the hidden costs of a world where messages are instant, silence feels suspicious, and boundaries are treated like rejection.

Inside, you’ll explore:

• How access became mistaken for care

• Why instant communication killed anticipation and depth

• The difference between being reachable and being emotionally available

• How oversharing replaced true closeness

• The anxiety of being seen but not truly held

• Why intimacy needs limits to survive

Written with emotional clarity and cultural insight, this book challenges the idea that constant connection equals closeness.

This isn’t a rejection of communication.

It’s a reminder that intimacy requires intention — not access.

If you’ve ever felt close to someone but still deeply alone, this book is for you.
