Search Results: people preferences

Okay so I found this image and I'm actually curious on people's preference. Just vote on what you think is better and explain why.

Of course none of us want to be around people who say one thing but mean another. Or who don't follow up on what they say, and are essentially not being honest about what they intend to do (either not honest with you, or not honest with themselves.) But I do believe people have an innate preference for either words or actions.

If one believes more strongly, or is better at one than the other, themselves, they may tend to also appreciate/look for that in other people, as well. To a lesser degree, people can value, in others, what they, themselves, lack.

But the complexity and vastness of language also cannot be minimized or devalued. Being able to articulate how you feel, what you think, what you believe is an immensely powerful thing. And to be the recipient of such words, such honesty, is one of the fabrics of society.

Yet there are some people who are not able to physically do as much to express their care or concern for other people, but can through words (I know someone who is very disabled, for instance, but who likes to talk on the phone and be supportive that way.)

There's also a famous book (which I haven't read), 'The 5 Love Languages', which gets referenced a lot. Some people in relationships prefer 'acts of service' and for others it's words. (There's also physical touch, quality time, and gifts. But that's another topic.)
