How We Respond

Many of you may know the five love languages... Physical touch,  receiving gifts, words of affirmation, quality time, and acts of service. These things make up of what we, as people, respond to the most as feeling loved. In other words, if somebody were to hug me, I'd feel very loved. However, if somebody were to do something nice for me, I'd feel cared for. The five love languages give off different vibes of good feelings. Some are stronger than others. I have 3 strong-suits in the five love languages, and my bottom two are just kind of iffy. Here's what I scored.

12     Physical Touch
7      Quality Time
6      Words of Affirmation
3      Acts of Service
2      Receiving Gifts

From 1 to 5, is how I rank how grateful I am for that certain act. For the most part, my top three, are all very very close in a matter of priority. If you'd like to take a test about The Five Love Languages, then click the link below.

The 5 Love Languages

Now for some words from the site, itself... Here's mine... In order.

Physical Touch:
"This language isn’t all about the bedroom. A person whose primary language is Physical Touch is, not surprisingly, very touchy. Hugs, pats on the back, holding hands, and thoughtful touches on the arm, shoulder, or face – they can all be ways to show excitement, concern, care, and love. Physical presence and accessibility are crucial, while neglect or abuse can be unforgivable and destructive. Physical touch fosters a sense of security and belonging in any relationship."

Quality Time:
"In the vernacular of Quality Time, nothing says, “I love you,” like full, undivided attention. Being there for this type of person is critical, but really being there – with the TV off, fork and knife down, and all chores and tasks on standby – makes your significant other feel truly special and loved. Distractions, postponed dates, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful. Quality time also means sharing quality conversation and quality activities."

Words of Affirmation:
"Actions don’t always speak louder than words. If this is your love language, unsolicited compliments mean the world to you. Hearing the words, “I love you,” are important – hearing the reasons behind that love sends your spirits skyward. Insults can leave you shattered and are not easily forgotten. Kind, encouraging, and positive words are truly life-giving."

Acts of Service:
"Can vacuuming the floors really be an expression of love? Absolutely! Anything you do to ease the burden of responsibilities weighing on an “Acts of Service” person will speak volumes. The words he or she most want to hear: “Let me do that for you.” Laziness, broken commitments, and making more work for them tell speakers of this language their feelings don’t matter. Finding ways to serve speaks volumes to the recipient of these acts."

Receiving Gifts:
"Don’t mistake this love language for materialism; the receiver of gifts thrives on the love, thoughtfulness, and effort behind the gift. If you speak this language, the perfect gift or gesture shows that you are known, you are cared for, and you are prized above whatever was sacrificed to bring the gift to you. A missed birthday, anniversary, or a hasty, thoughtless gift would be disastrous – so would the absence of everyday gestures. Gifts are visual representations of love and are treasured greatly."

There you have it, folks! A little bit more to know about me. If you're interested, go ahead and try this test. It's surprisingly accurate.

Now for blog business for you guys, as my viewers! I was thinking of expanding a little bit more, and maybe getting better on YouTube, and possibly gaming there with my boyfriend. Thing is, how would I be able to get him to play Audition with me? Haha, anyways! I think something I'm going to stop doing is the shout-outs. Maybe every once in a while we'll have one, but until then, I'll just be talking to you guys, and only you guys. What do you guys think? Also, I'd love to do some fan-questions! If you have any questions, message my Facebook page, post on my Facebook page, or just comment below!
