I think the biggest misconception about the love language words of affirmation, is that it’s needed constantly or a sigh of insecurity. You bring up WoA and here comes the “I’m not about to be telling you how I feel 24/7” comments. That’s not wtf we’re asking for you nitwit.

“If you need my validation 24/7 then that just means you’re insecure” Y’all deal with someone who’s insecure and needs constant validation and think that’s WoA and it’s not. At all. We aren’t Trixie Tang.

The same way you feel loved by being touched, or spending time with someone, we feel loved by verbal expression. And that doesn’t always have to be no deep shit nor do we need it CONSTANTLY. it’s literally just how we receive love the best. Y’all be reaching I swear

“Damn you look good”
“I’m so proud of you!”
“I like that you’re able to think on your feet”
Shit like this...is words of affirmation. Dassit. Ain’t gotta be heartfelt love letters every damn day. Learn to differentiate between insecurity, and a love language.

And those of us who’s primary love language is WoA, be sure to get with someone who knows how to speak it. B/c I’m here to tell you, being with someone who can’t communicate their emotions effectively is like our kryptonite. It weakens you, quickly. So choose correctly.
