Is it normal that i don't say the things that mean the most?

I have many lovely, expressive, and honest friends. I actually pride myself on my honesty sometimes, but I don't often have very intimate moments with people unless we're connecting on a particular issue.
Sometimes I have a hard time telling the people I care about how much they mean to me, or leaning over and resting my head on their shoulder, because I feel like those words and gestures can't express how I feel. So some of the people I care about the most, I'm often the most quiet around, because if I don't have the perfect opportunity or the perfect way to tell them how I feel, sometimes I don't know what to say at all. Is that normal?

    I hold back too. It makes you really vulnerable to open up to people but it's worth the risk to put your feelings out there.

    I agree with Steph, you are a beautiful person. However, you should try to overcome this, as I have. Its a beautiful thing to be able to tell someone how you feel about them (be conservative at first, dont pleadge your love to your boss), when they return the feelings, it can really bring a deep closeness.
    I am a truck driver, and have a couple of guys that we actually tell each other that we love each other from time to time (not gay, justr friends for 20+ years). It seems weird at first, but its good to know who your true friends are. i wish you the best.

      Thank you. It's good to know I'm not alone in this. Since discovering I do this I have made a point to let my closest friends know how much they mean to me.
