Is this true to you? How easily convinced are you by words?
I find that I'm not. Especially in relationships. In some, not all things, I can't go on words alone. Seeing them backed up by action really mean a lot to me.
Agree with you there - especially in relationships. Words are nice. But if the actions don't back up what's being said, the words end up meaning nothing.
The older I get, the more words don't mean diddly squat. Love, is an action word in my book. And some of the most untrustworthy, shady people I've ever met were full of words, and dodo.

I prefer actions to words. I don't always recognize the significance of some actions though. For example, way back in high school, we were on a school field trip, and the girl sitting next to me fell asleep on my shoulder (I was already asleep). I got a lot of crap about that, and told her to tell everyone she did NOT even like me...but she DID like me. I still watched her say that to a few people, that she didn't like me. She later told me that was the hardest thing for her to do--we did wind up in the only relationship I had during high school.
The fact that she felt comfortable enough to fall asleep against me speaks volumes, even if I didn't realize it at the time.

Yeah you are right. You have to know and understand the person you are dealing with as well.
It's sort of society and being nice. Recently saw an Aunt I hadn't seen in five years. Last time I saw her she was 125lbs...Surprise; she was now around 300lbs! What did I say? "Good to see you, you look great!" I'm a very visual and somewhat shallow person, but I flat out lied in the interest of not being rude...
Actions are wayyyy more important than words. Some people just talk without thinking, others find it easy to say absolutely anything or lie. I can say I love the whole City data forum right now, with no consequence.
But if i were to bake each of you a cookie and send it through mail....that would be some serious effort on my part and I wouldn't even need to say I care. Get my point? :P
