Is Your Love Language Hurting You Under Stress? A Relationship Coach Breaks It Down
1 day ago | 5 Views
Are you aware that your stress responses may contrast sharply with your love language? Esther Ku, a relationship coach based in Kuala Lumpur, highlighted this phenomenon in an Instagram post, noting that such a discrepancy can sometimes lead to toxic behaviors.
In her post, titled "How your stress language is often the opposite of your love language," Esther provided examples illustrating how an individual's stress responses and love languages can be remarkably different. She accompanied the post with the caption, "Could this be your toxic trait? Understand yourself, not just your partner..."
Stress behaviour vs love language
According to Esther Ku, when needs go unmet, people's behaviour often tends to be the opposite of their love language. Check out some examples that she listed in her Instagram post:
Stress behaviour | Love language |
---|---|
Not asking for help | Acts of service |
Isolate or withdraw | Quality time |
Ignore or avoid | Physical touch |
Staying silent | Words of affirmation |
‘Your stress behaviour is the opposite of love language’
According to the dating coach, an individual's stress-related behaviors may manifest as a reluctance to seek assistance, a tendency to isolate or withdraw, avoidance of loved ones, or silence. In contrast, she noted that a person's love language, which is fundamentally different from stress behaviors, may include acts of service, quality time spent together, physical affection, or verbal affirmations.
Esther articulated that fulfilling our needs enables us to rejuvenate, while the persistent neglect of these needs can lead to expressions of frustration or stress. She stated, "Everyone possesses the capacity to enhance their resilience to stress. Although it demands effort and commitment, with time, you can prepare yourself to manage any challenges that life presents when you take charge of your own journey."
