#2 language of love

In this particular noon, in my very own car (Urfie!!), suddenly I feel all alone. I am an introvert person, but that's not mean that I don't need companies. I just don't like to be too involved in a crowd. I prefer sit in the middle of that something and just watch everyone messing around. Laugh or smile for their jokes, give a little comment for their craziness, but being the spotlight? I don't think it's a good idea.

And when i feel so afraid for this being the-center-of-attention thingy, the other part of me is also craving for that. In the end, I'll be just standing still awkwardly with me battling with myself.

Actually, I was in the middle of waiting for my mom's meeting with her friends. Then, after she has done, along the road to our next destination, we talked about this language of love. It is about how each people express their love to others and also feel that they are being loved.

In general, there are 5 languages of love. (there's also a book from Gary Chapman discussing about this topic)

Physical touch.
Receiving presents.
Words of affirmation.
Act of service.
Quality time.

It is necessary to know your own language and your partner's language to really understand how to treat each other. So the other would get the message without mistakes.

But, what is mine? Is it possible for me to have the need for all?
