These concepts are so insightful!! I definitely do body doubling and info dump 😂😂 also I discovered as an adult that physical touch was very important to me in a relationship. Sometimes you might be with an awesome partner but if the way they show love doesn’t match with yours… or at least overlaps in some ways, disappointment is on the horizon.

Long comment to say: great post! You are fantastic. 💖

I know...I'm oftentimes like, "Is my love language....ALL OF THEM????"

LOVE this! Nice one, Elyse! This makes me see all the cat videos my son sends us through a new lens. He’s penguin pebbling with funny felines. And I really appreciate the insights into the neurodivergent love languages. I think I’ve been on the receiving end of a lot of those info dumps and now I feel touched by that. The only downside to this piece is that, as a Physical Touch person (arguably the most boring and obvious live language) it’s making me realize I really need to up my gift giving game. Maybe I’ll just lean into sending more amusing gifs.

Ha. Yeah, Brad used to SPAM THE SHIT OUT OF ME with memes and reels which was both funny/cute but also a little...much...but now I have such a different appreciation for it!
