If the Words of Affirmation person in your life has had a bad day, find it in your heart to speak up. This is when a Words person needs your affirmation the most, otherwise they begin to suspect they do not have your love and support. It could be as simple as "I see that you are suffering and I’m here for you.” If you are upset with them, think before you speak. An unkind or demeaning phrase will undo 100 prior compliments. That’s how much pain is caused. Words that hurt and cripple, particularly character assassination and name calling are especially damaging. Instead of telling them "you said something unloving” you go for the jugular by saying “you are an unloving person." Instead of saying "the other day when that happened I didn’t feel very cared for” you punch below the belt with "you’re someone who doesn’t care about me.” And if you’re actually screaming curse words and yelling obscenities, grow up already.
