How LoveType describes it
If this is your result, LoveType calls you The Word Lover.
Language is your love currency. You give love by expressing it — out loud, in messages, in all the small ways words can land. And you receive love most deeply when someone tells you, specifically, that you matter to them. Silence where words should be can feel like absence.

Questions
How do you show love to someone with words of affirmation?
Be specific and say it unprompted: what you noticed, what you admire, what they did that mattered. A short message in the middle of the day often lands better than a big speech.
What hurts someone whose love language is words?
Criticism, sarcasm and long silences. Withheld appreciation can feel like withheld love.
