Am I loved? pt. 4

The other "Emotional language" is the Influencer.
Influencers are cheerleaders. They are the people that push you to do your best and always encourage you in you endeavors.
Positive Characteristics:
Influencers speak their thoughts through. You can always hear when an Influencer is thinking. They often talk to themselves, but it's just their way of organizing their thoughts and thinking things through.
Influencers are very optimistic, although they do see the bad things in life, they can see past them. They truly believe that "it came to pass."
Influencers are PEOPLE PEOPLE. They love just being with people, spending time with people, and talking with people.
Influencers long to see people get better. They never see anyone as perfect or a failure (especially themselves); Influencers see people as always getting better.
Influencers have a driving need to communicate and be heard. They love to learn new and better ways of expressing their thoughts and feelings. Thus they need confirmation that they are being heard.
Influencers accept people where they are. Not that they approve of sin -- in fact -- Influencers will grow exasperated if someone does not express the same enthusiasm that they do in wanting to change.
Influencers do not like to waist time, thus they are quick decision makers.
Influencers know everybody, they like getting to know people and are people pleasers.
Influencers learn best by doing and experiencing. They often jump head long into a project or task without finding out if they can handle it.
Influencers are meticulous in wanting to look good, both physically and in maintaining a good looking home, and are very creative in doing so.
Desires:
Influencers desire to see everyone happy and healthy emotionally. They want to see people improve and love helping along the way. They love relationships.

Possible Negative Characteristics:
Influencers often talk too much. They are uncomfortable with silence and fill the need to fill it -- even when silence is appropriate. Influencers tend to finish people's sentences (sometimes robbing the speaker of the moment) and often interrupt people.
Influencers often seem critical of others because they always see the potential to get better; they usually forget to recognize that what they have may be good enough.
Influencers are impatient with people who do not have a "get up and go" attitude to improve themselves.
Influencers must be careful because they are natural manipulators. They must recognize and control this destructive habit.
Influencers tend to talk about everything, but do nothing.
How to Show Love to an Influencer:
Influencers need verbal approval. Phrases like, "I love you," "Great job," "I'm so thankful for you," "You're so special to me," mean more than all the actions and gifts in the world. Compliments on their appearance and handiwork are greatly appreciated also.
Influencers NEED to express themselves and know they are being hears. Simple things like head nodding and conformational yes's and no's tell the Influencer that they are being heard.
