Knowing your love language isn't a simple task. It involves looking deep inside yourself, examining your past relationships, and introspecting on what you want and need.
You can have multiple love languages in my opinion but knowing which one is more important for you is necessary for a successful relationship or friendship?
The basic love languages are:
Words of affirmation:
When someone needs words of affirmation they need to be encouraged and appreciated. They love to send and receive texts/calls/conversations that include motivation and compliments.
Acts of service:
That's when a person needs to be supported and needs to be sure they can depend on you. Make sure to be there when/where they want you. They will do the same for you.
Gifts:
Gifts show this person that you truly care and they're a priority in your life… Gifts don't have to be expensive for them, because thoughtful gifts can be huge gestures for them.
Quality time: (my love language)
Spending time to have meaningful conversations, and to get to know them profoundly is essential. Time is valuable for this person. It's life itself and they don't give their time except for people they truly love. They want to create memories and feel connected with you.
Physical touch:
Using non-verbal communication to express love such as hugs or holding hands.
If you're wondering how to figure out what your love language is, here are some questions to ask yourself:
What makes you feel loved?
Do you feel loved when other people do things for you? or when people give you their time and attention? Or when you're hugged? Or when people encourage you? Or when you open a present from them?
Personally, I feel loved the most when I'm around people who truly want to spend time with me and treat me with kindness. That's why I believe that my love language is "quality time".
Spending time with people and being patient with them is something special and I truly love to give and receive.
What are the actions you take to express love to others?
Some people express love to others by complimenting them (words of affirmation) or holding hands (physical touch) or giving gifts or doing chores such as cooking (acts of service).
What would you like more of in your relationships with friends and family?
More honesty and fewer guilt trips, manipulation, and mind games, that's what I always look for.
Which is more important for you? being accepted and treated with compassion? or being excited to spend time together? Maybe all of them?
Know yourself and know your needs to be more giving and more loving with yourself and others.
I hope this post will help you figure out your love language.
