Love Languages: How The Different Types Love

No type is more or less capable of love than any other. Love is an involuntary reflex – either we feel it, or we don’t. But everyone shows and expresses love differently. Because we’re used to one form of love, we may not realize that other people love us, even when they do. Learn each type’s love languages and you will be able to see layers you may have frequently forgotten.
 
Perhaps the most fascinating thing about love is how it gives us bravery to step outside our comfort zone. When we love, we can do things that would normally frighten us or cause us stress. Love can in many ways bring great growth and a chance to rise beyond our past issues. And love is also in many ways an experience of integration: we see the world in richer depth, and in higher nuance, than we did before we felt love.
Love no matter how small should be nurtured, be it love for animals, nature, friends, family, or a significant other – it is always important to growth and happiness. In times when love is tested and when stress and anxiety is high, always try to rise to the best. Try to be vulnerable, and know that if you succeed, you will be rewarded.

There are many love languages. Try to embrace all love you receive. Sometimes, we don’t feel worthy of others’ love; then the challenge is to learn to accept and appreciate the love others give us. Sometimes, others’ love can feel demanding or smothering. And sometimes, we can’t give back the love others give us; then the challenge is to not reject the love we have been given, but to redirect and help the person get the love they seek in return.
