Shanna
1. Acts of Service: LOL. Knowing what we know about Shanna, the idea that ‘service’ is so high can maybe not come across in the best light. But it’s true! Shanna often feels like she’s an island; she has a lot going on and she doesn’t have very much trust in others, so when someone steps up without her having to ask or think about how to get them to help or what that person’s true motivations are, which are all spinning plates that she feels like she has to juggle, it’s an act that she views with love more appreciation than others. She’s a control freak who doesn’t like to rely on other people; it’s significant to her when someone keeps a commitment and it’s a pretty telling sign if she volunteers her time for you. (Score: 10)
2. Quality Time: Shanna doesn’t like being around most people, but if you’re someone she loves? She craves attention. It’s very, very, very (veryveryvery) important to her that she’s prioritized and that enough time is set aside for her. That space, for her, is when she lets her guard down and lets people in and feeling that appreciation and feeling like someone is there because they care about her is crucial to her relationships. To her, that is the ULTIMATE act of service. It’s both the bare minimum and the most that you can do. (Score: 7)
3. Physical Touch/Words of Affirmation (tie): It’s not that Shanna doesn’t like physical touch, but she has to welcome it. In all capacities. Her personal bubble is both emotional and physical; if you stand too close to her in line at the market, she feels like a boundary has been crossed. If you accidentally touch her hand? For shame. On the other hand, with people that she’s comfortable with, she’s the first to initiate group selfies. She’ll hug you, she’ll hold your hand, she’ll cuddle on the couch, she’ll dance with you, she’ll invade your personal space; she just has to control the initial parameters. WoA are slightly less important to her; Shanna is more of an ‘actions speak louder than words’ person, which you kind of have to understand about her if you ever want to get past how hurtful and mean she can be. >.> But Shanna does enjoy recognition; she loves a good compliment. ;] (Score: 6)
4. Gifts: Haha, this one kind of makes me laugh, BUT IT IS VERY ACCURATE. Shanna is not the type to see value in gifts, for several reasons. 1) Even though she feels a lot, Shanna is not a very sentimental person. 2) Even though she has a lot, Shanna is not a very materialistic person. Objects don’t mean a lot to her and she doesn’t feel like most people understand her well enough to get her things that she would enjoy. Especially because if there was something that she’d enjoy, she’d just buy it herself, duh. HOWEVER, when someone really hits the mark, it’s extremely meaningful to her. Like her cat, Lady. Or anything that her father buys her, because he is the one reliable exception to this rule. (Score: 1)
