How do you show your love to the people around you?

1. Depends on who it is. I am more of a doer and problem solver, so that is usually my go to.

2. By showing and telling them randomly.

3. By doing nice things I guess

4. I’m actually really bad at it, when people care about me too much I tend to push them away at an accelerated rate

5. Basically I just try to make whoever’s around me feel comfortable to be their true selves free of worries about judgement or rejection. My biggest strengths are probably being a compassionate understanding listener, and pretty good at comforting people. I’m also always down to help people out or support them with whatever they need, and I dunno if it falls under the umbrella of love, but I like to take care of everyone by doing things like cooking and making sure everyone’s having a good time at parties and stuff.

6. I make sure they’re full before I eat. Yes I’m very poor

7. While a bit over simplifying, those love languages are real. The bigger question is which expressions of love our best received? I can perform acts of service for someone I care about all day long. But if she’s looking for me to give kind words or express my love physically, those acts of service might go largely unnoticed.

8. sex

9. I don invite them to things so they dont have to make excusals

10. I do stuff. When I was just dating my wife, it was amazing how many things I “just happened to have in my car” to fix stuff in her apartment.

11. Lick their face.

12. What is love?

13. by being present. often providing food and drink and trying to help out where i can

    and occasionally physically if i know someones alright with that. though im very carefull with that because most of my peers have a… backstory.
