Words of Affirmation
Actions don’t always speak louder than words. If this is your love language, unsolicited compliments mean the world to you. Hearing the words, “I love you,” are important—hearing the reasons behind that love sends your spirits skyward. Insults can leave you shattered and are not easily forgotten.

Quality Time
In Quality Time, nothing says “I love you” like full, undivided attention. Being there for this type of person is critical, but really being there—with the TV off, fork and knife down, and all chores and tasks on standby—makes you feel truly special and loved. Distractions, postponed activities, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful.

well I guess I knew that one going in

pretty sure the "words of affirmation" is only so high because it was compared to e.g. gifts and shit in the questions

To me, gifts are the dumbest thing unless they're extremely practical or meaningful. I just do not need more crap lying around my house.

From what I remember, the language of receiving gifts doesn't necessarily mean that you only feel loved when people buy you things. It has to do with feeling appreciated when someone gives you something physical because you can remember them by that item. It's like they were thinking of you when they retrieved that gift for you. It could be a little flower that someone picks from a garden, or someone could make that person a card and they will feel appreciated. It doesn't have anything to do with being greedy or wanting more and more STUFF. It's about knowing that someone was thinking about them.

I just wanted to clear the misconception I feel people may have. Don't be ashamed or feel guilty if that's your language. That's how you feel appreciated!! Own it.

Perhaps the real reason people score low is because receiving a gift, no matter how nice, doesn't say "I love you" like something more personal, like physical touch, quality time (usually one-on-one), or an act of service. Another reason could be that people like to give more than they receive because it's nicer to give personally than to receive.

If gifts is your language than you love to give AND receive gifts, just like someone with physical touch would love to give AND receive hugs or kisses. That is just how the personal knows how to show and receive that type of affection. One of my sisters has this gift and she is spot on about getting things for people. She's very attuned to what they like and enjoy. Just the same, she gets so excited if you give her a rock from a place that her and that person visited as a reminder of the experience. She is one of the least greediest people know and just loves on people.

My point for posting originally was to encourage the language of gifts is because I feel it is greatly misunderstood.

I have an ambiguous relationship with physical touch. I feel most connected when I'm using it, and when I'm physically around my SO, I can't help touching him in some way or the other ... lots of kissing, holding hands, hugging, snuggling, etc. But not having it clearly isn't a deal breaker as evinced by the fact that we've negotiated an LDR more or less successfully.

Hmm.

Distractions, postponed activities, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful. Whether itʼs spending uninterrupted time talking with someone else or doing activities together, you deepen your connection with others through sharing time.

Nothing of surprise to me. Though I am weird with physical contact. I both love it (need it) and hate it at the same time. If someone does it to me and I am not expecting it I completely freeze.
