How to cater to a Yellow’s needs

Wouldn’t it feel great if our significant others, parents, kids, friends and/or coworkers met the needs that come with our personality? Each personality type comes with its own set of needs, but no one will know how to meet the needs of their loved ones if they don’t know what their needs are. Today, we are going to identify the needs of the Yellow personality and educate those who know Yellows (it should be all of us!) on what they can do to meet those Yellow needs. Ready? Let’s go!

Yellows need to look good socially.

Yellows are sociable and charismatic. If it seems like your Yellow friends are trying to be the center of attention too much or if they have a lot of surface level buddies, it doesn’t mean they’re trying to take anything away from you or their friendship with you. They are simply meeting one of their needs. Instead of feeling like you need to compete for the limelight, let them have it. Don’t feel insecure in your friendship with them if it seems like they have more friends than you do. Just recognize they need that social approval and you have nothing to worry about if your friendship has merit. To help meet their need, help them look good socially. Brag about them to your friends when they’re around!

Yellows need to be noticed.

Don’t ignore them! If you’ve got Yellow friends, be sure to call them up if you haven’t talked in awhile or seek them out at parties. If you’re married to a Yellow, make sure you’re paying undivided attention to them when you spend time together. If you’re parenting a Yellow, pay one-on-one attention to them when you can. Get the idea? Even if your relationship with them feels high maintenance at times, remember, if you notice them, they will feel loved.

 

Yellows need to be praised.

You don’t need to treat them like celebrities or anything, but you do need to give them compliments. Take note of their talents and compliment them on whatever they may be. Again, brag about them to your friends when they’re around or simply express how great you think they are. Laugh at their jokes and stories, you’ll make them feel great!

Yellows need to receive approval from the masses.

Again, let them have the limelight. If they’re telling a story to a group of people or acting on stage, they are in their element. These are the people who enjoy an audience, and they care what people think! To help them meet their need, encourage them to tell a funny story and invite people to listen. Additionally, you can encourage them to audition for a play or tell them about a local spoken word event.

 

If you’re cheering for your Yellow friends to feel happy and fulfilled, don’t just read this article and move on. Make a note of all of their needs and consciously try to help fulfill them on a regular basis! Yellows, does this list of needs make a lot of sense to you?
