Building deep relationships requires:Consistent presence – show up regularly, not just when you need something.
Genuine curiosity – ask thoughtful questions and really listen.
Vulnerability – share your real thoughts & feelings gradually.
Reliability – do what you say you will do.
Celebrate their wins and support them in losses.
Small, frequent acts of care > rare grand gestures.
Forgive and repair after conflict quickly.
Depth grows slowly through repeated trust + emotional safety.Related resources:
