The misguided definition of love languages and how people twist it for selfish reasons

Gifting, words of affirmation, physical touch, acts of service, quality time...
These are the five general means by which people express and experience love, especially in romantic relationships. It depicts how people give and receive love from their significant other. But it is very common to find that people focus only on the receptive side of it, and ignore the expressive aspect of it. Long story short, people only focus on how they receive love but never how they give it out. In reality, when you love someone, neither of the love languages is spared. When you love someone, you love them in all the ways possible. Logically there's always room for compromise guided by communication and understanding, but not so much that it becomes a complete disregard for your partner. So, if you are picky on love languages that apply to you, then you must know that you're not doing it properly. And if you only focus on receiving than giving, you're not doing it properly.
