Our friend group has this running joke about everyone's love languages, but I've started noticing how we use it to excuse not really showing up for each other — like 'oh, Sarah's not a words person' when someone needs encouragement. We've made it a way to avoid actually learning how to love each other better.
More people experience this than they realize.
What began as a tool for understanding has become permission to stay comfortable in your limitations.
“Where Are You with The love languages — examined critically?”
