Is it normal to have trouble saying i love you?

Is it normal to have a hard time saying I love you? I can't seem to tell people that I love them even if I do very much. I can't tell my mom that even though I do and feel bad when she's gone. My mom isn't really affectionate though. I don't know why I can't say it or feel embarrassed/awkward when it comes to saying "i love you" or showing any affection towards others. I show my affection more by doing things for others and putting their needs and everything before me and my needs. Why do you think this is?

    It shouldn't be. You must be doing it wrong.

    because it is just pointless words, that are overused. like you said it's the actions that prove it
