Love

[daniegirl6224]

How do you show love?
Mine:
Physical touch- pet my partner a lot
Quality time
Share silence together
Share my excitement about things
Devotion & loyalty

How would you like to be shown love?
Mine:
Ask how I’m doing
Wash my hair when struggling
Help more with household tasks

I’m curious to hear yours!!

Primarily through physical contact.

Physically, verbally and non-verbally. Romantically.

How I show it:
- physical touch
- taking care of someone when sick/struggling/just because I want to
- showing interest in them and being supportive
- spending time together
- telling them I love them
- talking about my hobbies and interests
- openly showing my hobbies and interests (I otherwise hide usually what I am doing/watching/reading out of fear to be judged)
- behaving naturally, wearing headphones, reading while doing other things, dancing around

Ways I like to be shown love:
- asking me about my day, my hobbies and interests
- telling me they love me
- cuddling/hugging
- respecting my (physical) boundaries
- showing understanding and support when I'm struggling, descending into an anxiety spiral, struggling with daily tasks, etc
- supporting me when I'm overstimulated/overloaded without judging
- initiating time spent together (holidays, trips, concerts, etc)

Doing the most mundane things together and having fun. Making each other smile and laugh, and enjoying silence. Showing respect for their choices, understanding that their control needs may have nothing to do with me. Heal their inner child wounds so that our relationship blossoms. Be understanding with commitment issues we may both struggle with.

Receive: A person says "Thank you," and means it.

Is this thread supposed to be referring to anyone that you care about or strictly within romantic relationships?
