Actions tell yu more than words, most of the time. Of course, if you don't understand WHY someone acts as they do, you'll need some words from someone to explain!

But we spend too much time trying to analyze what people said, instead of analyzing what they did , or didn't do.

Words can be a sham, can be rehearsed, can just be lies, ...or PC..as we see here on Gag in a lot of answers. People trying to play up to the asker, or saying what the media has told them to say.

But actions, usually, are difficult to stage or fake.

1. I don't think that is even a fair thing to ask

2. Not everything can be summarized in actions or words

3. There are times people perform actions they don't mean to or don't even realize it

4. Though this may hold good on professional grounds, on a personal level judgement has to be vaired between actions, words AND circumstances

5. The same person will perform a different action for the same situation under different circumstances - I think it's only logical even if not anything else :)

If someone shows you who they really are, believe them. If you don't and give them the benefit of doubt or make excuses for their bad behavior they will keep showing you over and over with their actions and you will feel the pain of tolerating it. So, if a person shows you who they are through their negative actions, behaviors or choices, run like hell.

[LaughOutLoudWithMe]

For the most part yes. But sometimes people do things that we just don't understand untill we learn about the thinking process behind their actions. When we are aware of both, I think it makes for a more complete picture...xX

[Arwens-Fire]

People can TELL you anything,but everyone ,but not everyone is able to follow with actions.This is how you can instanstly sort out falsehoods.

Do You Feel The Same If Their Actions Preceed Their Worxs?

[LilKim]

Words

[Arwens-Fire]

Sorry about the errors above.If their actions precede their words,I BELIEVE actions over just words ANY day.It takes a lot more effort to SHOW than to TELL.

HOWEVER,use your best judgement.Some people know how to manipulate this and they will behave and do things as a way of using reverse psychology,or some way to deceive you.So,I believe deciphering truth is more on a case by case basis.Watch for words and actions.

[Robotic]

What do you think arwen? if a guy clearly shows a girl he loves her, is it still important for him to actually say it?

[Arwens-Fire]

Hey Robotic!

In the whole scheme of life and people having emotions and needing reassurance...is it important that a guy says I love you?Absolutely.IMO,if he CAN'T say it,then theree are some issues that need to be addressed for sure. We are human beings...we touch,we feel,we HEAR...especially women.Not only do we need to feel...we need to HEAR what's going on.As we all know,women are a great deal more emotional than men.So the whole,keep words bottled up inside does NOT work with the ladies.

They've got some awesome hair!At first I thought it was going to be a Tracy Chapman video or something lol

[kholland65]

Obviously its easy to lie with your words, but your actions are hard to control because they're so impulsive.

At thegodemperorleto (he blocked me). I find it funny that the left's biggest supporter and Obama's biggest cheerleader has finally woken up to realize that Obama is not the savior you think he is.

[Anonymous]

Almost certainly not when it comes to women observing men.

Women put far too much stock in what they think are important actions by men. But they almost invariably have no understanding of the link between a mans actions and his emotions.

When a woman wants to know how a man feels, or what he is thinking, the absolute best course for accuracy is to listen to the words coming out of his mouth.

[confugirl]

Yeah, I do. Anyone can make false promises, but you won't know if they're sincere until they actually fulfill that promise. For some, they might be unable to do what they promised, but that makes it a false one nonetheless.

[TheGodEmperorLeto]

Actions always speak louder than words and show how they truly are. It's how I know Obama's not a socialist or anything of the sort because his actions have long since shown he's just another corporatist politician like the rest of them.

[XoXoAng3L]

Guys (i'm also guilty of this) can say a lot of things, and if they mean it, they'll actually follow through with actions.

[eveline]

yes I do believe because actions show what one feels words just explain words are nothing

[aDzNichilista]

No, not necessarily.
