Is it normal that it's hard to say 'i love you' to anyone?

No matter who the person is, I always have a hard time saying the words 'I love you' out loud. Even if it's just my friends who find something funny about me and then say 'I love you'. For some reason I have a really hard time saying it back. A lot of times they'll even ask me and say, "Do you love me too?" And of course I say yes, but I don't know why I can't say 'I love you'.

Is It Normal?

  • Possibilities:
    1. You don't want to lie.
    2. You don't want to be misunderstood.
    3. You think it may change the current relationship, even if you know it won't.
    4. You have too much class to use such a lame cliché.
    5. You reserve those words for only one person.
    6. The only one you truly love is yourself.

  • Is it hard to say"I Love You" for me. However, we must learn more as human beings to say this to our loved ones because you never know when something will happen

    Also, this is part of the reason I lost a girl I was with for three years. I did not often share my feelings with her or say those precious three words enough. Now I learned from my mistakes but have not found a girl i loved since. A hard lesson to learn.

      • Yes, it can be tough at times, especially, on those rainy nights when im alone and rather be cuddling close to someone i have feelings for. I couldn't send you a message but i like your profile. It seems me and you have things in common. Thanks for the kind words though.

        • Its always hard getting over somebody. But I think if its truly meant to be, she'll find her way back to you. If she hasn't yet, its probably time to let go of the pain your past mistake left you with. Everybody feels like they should've done something or said something that they didn't. Regret is a horrible feeling.

          Love will probably come again, and when you least expect it. Try not to harp on old mistakes. We all make them, and you learned your lesson, so you can prevent it from happening again. Maybe you needed those mistakes for that reason.

  • I can't say 'I love you' either. But I think its because in my heart, those three words that people seem to playfully throw around, are to me, of a higher significance.

  • Well the only person that I've told I love was my ex gf. I can never say it to my friends nor parents it made me feel awkward.
