Understanding individual differences

Associate Professor, Dr. Trinh Thi Linh believes that before learning about the different love languages, we need to understand the differences between people. The differences between individuals are a combination of genetic characteristics and environmental factors. The differences between individuals are obvious, so we need to accept, learn, and respect to live together with the differences.

These differences between individuals are the basis for each person having different love languages. Gary Chapman also said: It seems that people in their relationships are having a lot of difficulty understanding each other's language, because each person is different. This is also the reason why his five love languages ​​are extremely famous.

The Five Love Languages ​​by Gary Chapman

Love languages ​​are not just words, but also the way each individual sends signals to others to understand the feelings they want to express. The following five love languages ​​can exist in everyone at the same time, but one or two will be more dominant:

  • Positive Affirmation
People with this love language value verbal expressions of affection. They enjoy receiving words of encouragement, recognition for their work, sincere kindness, or forgiveness for mistakes. When talking to them, always choose words that express positive feelings, and limit hurtful words.
  • Present
People for whom gifting is their dominant love language often view gifts as a way to express their feelings in place of words. For them, it is not what the gift is, but how the gift is expressed. Therefore, we need to be mindful that: giving gifts to them is to show love and care, not to get something in return or to make amends.
  • Help Action
There are people around us who tend to talk less and do more, and believe that actions speak louder than words. Their love language is helping – feeling loved when they receive support. To build a connection with them, you need to learn to observe, care, offer, and show sincerity when helping.
  • Quality Time
For people whose love language is quality time, spending time with others is how they feel and give love. It is important to note that spending time together does not mean just sitting next to each other. Quality time is not synonymous with how much time you spend with that person, but rather giving absolute focus, wholeheartedly to the other person, always paying attention to their feelings.
  • Physical contact
People with this love language often feel loved when receiving intimate gestures or physical contact (hugs, kisses, holding hands, etc.). However, it is important to note that physical contact can help strengthen but also destroy relationships. If we are a person with this love language, while the other person is not, it can be very harmful to the relationship if we do not act tactfully. Therefore, it is necessary to learn about the culture, choose the right time, and pay attention to the other person's past experiences.

To know your own love language, you can observe how you express affection to others, and listen to your own needs in relationships.

How to apply love languages ​​in relationships?

The speaker suggested that, to make it easier to express affection in the family, we can ask ourselves how we are loved by others. From there, we will somewhat "read" the love language of our loved ones and see if we have used their love language effectively. Sometimes, you just need to touch their love language correctly. For example, your parents' love language is helping, you do not necessarily have to do all the housework for them. Just a few small actions like washing vegetables, cleaning dishes... will make them feel much more loved.

Associate Professor, Dr. Trinh Thi Linh also pointed out the necessity of using love languages ​​in couples' love. In the early stages of love, sometimes we have "illusions" about love, always looking at everything through rose-colored glasses. But gradually, the relationship will move to the compromise stage - you begin to care about your own needs and demand more from your partner. At this time, learning about each other's love languages ​​is very important for the two of you to continue to build a happier and stronger relationship.

Not only that, love languages ​​can be applied in other relationships (friends, colleagues, etc.): Do you know the love language of your best friend or colleague? If not, what will you do to find out? If you already know, what will you do in the future?...

Closing her sharing, Associate Professor, Dr. Trinh Thi Linh sent the audience some notes when using the language of love: The language of love is just a supporting tool, not the only solution for a happy relationship: A person can use this language of love but expect to receive another language of love; The language of love can change over time; Do not stereotype the language of love for all relationships.

Through the intimate, easy-to-understand but equally profound sharing of Associate Professor, Dr. Trinh Thi Linh, the audience attending Webinar #5 had the opportunity to better understand their own love language and that of those around them, thereby building and improving relationships.

The Psychosocial Support webinar series for the community by the Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Social Sciences - CIRSS has come to its final numbers. In the near future, CIRSS continues to plan the next webinars with attractive topics to fulfill the goal of bringing many positive values ​​to the community.
