Words of Affirmation & Ways to Say "I Love You"
I was just answering a prompt here about underrated ways to show someone you care and for me, it's the verbal sentiments. Words can be powerful!
People whose primary love language is Words of Affirmation feel most loved and appreciated when they receive compliments, words of encouragement, expressions of affection, and verbal acknowledgment of their efforts and feelings.
So I wanted to do something fun with this!
What's something(s) someone can say to you that would make you feel loved or cared for?
I'll start:
"Text me when you get home."
"This reminded me of you."
"Let me do that for you."
Your turn!ย ๐

As someone who's love language is words of affirmation, I love thisss! :)ย ๐
I would like to add:
"Did you rest well last night?"
"Don't forget to take breaks."
"Remember to star hydrated."ย
@innateJoy9602
Yes to all of these! The reminders are huge gestures to me; they show you're paying attention to the person and thinking about their welfare.
@innateJoy9602 they are good ones too โคโคโค
"Do you need help?"
"Can I help you with anything?"
"Would you like to talk about it?"
"I'm here if you need me."
"Did you drink any water today?"
"I saw this funny/sweet thing and I just had to share it with you."
"Have you had anything to eat/drink today?"
"I notice that you feel X today, would you like to talk about it?"

Some of mine can be little moments to check-in on how my day went:ย
"How was your day?"ย
"What can I do to help make things easier for you?"ย
"I appreciate you"ย
@LisaMeighanMScGMBPsS oh their good ones. But their questions like a partner or family would say. Well I think so, I always imagined that a family would ask those sort of things
