I have always thought none of the love languages apply to me! I don’t like any of them lol. But I definitely have found it useful when someone straight up tells me their love language - I believe them and really try to always keep that in mind.

I've never found a personality test that I fully connected with. But my Wu-Tang name, Funky Misunderstood Genius (provided by their name generator in the 90s), really hit home. So that's my descriptor. My love language is Unsolicited Advice. And while my friend, Anne, wrote The Modern Love Languages, she politely refused to add it. I stand by it, though. You're only going to get it from me if I give a sh!t. LOL. xo

This is interesting. I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea that someone doesn't have a love language. LOL I'm also an ENFP but refuse to pay for the Ennegram. During pre-marital counseling, our Episcopal priest had us do Myers-Briggs and we are complete opposites. :-) She assigned us the book "Please Understand Me" which is a MB guide to understanding/relating to people, which as an ENFP I LOVED!!! And it was EYE-OPENING that not everyone loves this stuff! Like whooooaaaaa? Really? My ISTJ husband really has no interest in self-discovery. Laslow must've been an ENFP with his hierarchy of needs.

So anywhooo, I could all of those things and know I am loved, but if I'm not told, "I love you" I don't FEEL loved. None of those resonate the same with you, huh? So interesting.
