Actually a thing worth mentioning here is people show love, affection and care in different ways and also prefer to receive them in different ways.
I for example am not a very verbal person when it comes to affection. I have a hard time giving compliments, and I have a hard time knowing what to say when I receive them.
Examples of other love languages would be giving/receiving gifts, giving/receiving acts of service, spending quality time, physical touch... you get the gist.
I'm a combination of the quality time and acts of service type. I show love and care for a partner, family and friends easiest by spending time with them just hanging out and by trying to help them somehow (running errands for them, helping them remember things, etc) and I also feel the most cared for when people want to spend time with me and help me out with things.
Someone who understands this love language would read me as a caring person, someone who needs a lot of verbal affirmation or physical touch would think I was cold and uncaring.
I feel like I have people in my life who do want to spend time with me and help me when I am in need, so I don't feel affection starved. If I was someone who needed a lot of verbal affirmation or physical touch, I probably would feel a bit affection starved with my current social circles. But I have a feeling that if I had been that kind of person, I wouldn't have chosen these social circles in the first place.
