I'll be honest.

That's why I've written on phenomena like Japan's blood type for dating and life theory. And there might be some proof in blood type mattering since my Mother (same blood type, same blood) is as enthralled as I am with love and the psychology behind it so she made our entire family do a "Love Languages Quiz", which I thought was total bull until I kept the results in mind when interacting with people.

A lot of times I get frustrated when people don't show me care in the way I want but it's hard to put it into words what I want from others. Likewise others get frustrated with me. Turns out, we all want different things that can be summarized in about 5 main points. Let's run through them and I'll share a quiz so you can find out what you like most!

You like to hear "good job" or "you look great today" and that really puts a spring in your step. You want people to say things out loud and often. You're not vain - you just want people to say things to you honestly and openly. Genuine compliments are the best.

You think "actions speak louder than words" is very true and want people to show their care, rather than say it. You would rather someone help you with shopping, do the dishes, or help you with your work rather than anything else.

You want people thinking of you and going out of their way to bring things you like or need. Little trinkets, food, or large gifts prove to you that someone deeply cares about you beyond a doubt.

While you may appreciate other things, nothing says "I care about you" like spending quality time together. Going on trips or just spending time talking to each other really fills you up with happiness.

You may not be a touchy-feely person with everyone but you are with people you care about. You want hugs, hand holding, cuddles, or just being close with someone. You sometimes feel like you need longer hugs to "recharge" and feel better.

Do you have in mind which you most want? Is it the same way you show affection for other people? The book on the 5 Love Languagesshares that people often show affection they way they want to receive it which isn't great.

In my case, I want Acts of Service but my Mom wants Words of Affirmation so she compliments me and I do dishes for her while we feel like the other person doesn't quite understand what we want. Now she drops off food since she knows I'm busy and I'll call her and thank her for dropping off food since it helps me. We both feel more loved than ever.
