Hello there,
Recently I went to do the Love Languages questionnaire again (it's here if you're interested), and was a bit nonplussed about the results. Plus I was wondering if I was choosing options that I wished I could be more like, instead of who I really am. So I went and did it again just now:
![]() Now I think this reflects me better, even though the highest score hasn't changed. But it should be pretty accurate, though I wouldn't go so far as to say it's true. After all, I've never been in a relationship, so what I have is based on my family and friends and what I envision I would like if I were in a relationship. Let me talk a bit about each love language. Let's start with my highest score, Quality Time. I like to spend time with people I love (like duh). One of the biggest reasons why I love going home on weekends is that I get to talk to my mum. I always tell her what's happening in school, interesting anecdotes as well as my troubles, and she'll provide her thoughts and guidance. I also like spending time with my good friends just chilling and talking, having HTHTs or doing random stuff together. When I have a crush I like to do that too (lol), so if he encourages it then that can be a bit misleading for me even though it's just my heart being silly and jumping to conclusions. Physical Touch. Hmmm. When I first did this test a few years ago and scored the highest for this section, I got a shock. I was still in the 'conservative and demure' stage (still am! HAHAHA who am I kidding) so I wasn't expecting that. Now, though, I can see more of myself in that light. I like hugs, I like holding hands etc. If a friend touches me I will feel a sense of closeness. Maybe that's why I often reach out to touch my friends too. Guess it's also why I really don't like it when friends who aren't really close touch me. PS: I'm super sensitive about people touching my hair/head. Do not attempt if you are not someone super close to me. Words of Affirmation. This is the one I didn't want to acknowledge that I cared about, but I think I really do. I'm happy when people compliment me even though I get a bit shy sometimes (and then not. Hahahah). Similarly, criticisms cut deep. I try telling myself not to be this affected but it's not that easy.. My mood can be destroyed just by someone telling me or implying their disapproval of me. Have to work on that. Receiving Gifts: I think I like gifts, but sometimes I don't know what to do with gifts I don't particularly like or have a use for. But I enjoyed getting random soft toys for my friends when they were down. And I really like making gifts for my close friends. There was once I was very passionate about that so people around me have received things like handmade cards, felt plushies, and even a felt aeroplane:
Some Christmas cards I made in 2010:
Had lots of fun on those projects but recently Acts of Service: Guess this isn't really important to me but I still appreciate it when people go out of their way to do something for me. Think I'd prefer if you did those things with me instead of for me, y'know? Still, it depends on who it is! K that's all for this week, bye! ![]() Labels: author: ji inn, themed entries |
