Does anyone here have a hard time saying I love you?

Post Reply New Topic

Depends in what way I say it. The other day my auntie was feeling depressed, and she said, ''I feel that nobody loves me'', and I said, ''I love you''. I didn't find it difficult at all.

depends if you mean it or not but i think asperger people have hard time say that they love someone cuz we live in such a bad enviorment for asperger people so we hard time imaginaing such a person to tell and when we say it we rly dont mean it since we are alot affected by the enivorment i think

I was "trained" by my parents to tell them I loved them so it was never really sencere. I don't know if it was was hard, it was just trained into me...just like saying please and thank you. It isn't hard to tell my pet lizard I love her. It never felt forced or fake when I told my pets I loved them. Perhaps because it was sencere because they never expected anything from me or critizised me or just made me feel bad about myself.

I feel very bad becuase the only person I have EVER said i love you to is my Boyfriend.

Nope, don't have a problem with it. But I don't say it unless I mean it.

I never said it to my ex girlfriend, although we sometimes discussed why the word wasn't tossed around. I tended to end letters with Hope or with Joy.

In college there was a girl who would run circles around me saying "I love you" over and over - I just had to grimace and say, "that's good, you're a nice person too."

I've said it before, but it's usually very uncomfortable saying those words, even to people I do care for and love; just not my style to be that way. The only person who I was comfortable saying it to at all was an ex, and even then it was thrown around by me sporadically, and saying it to her was far from an experience that was universally comfortable for me.

"I love you", it's just words. People can tell you they love you without meaning it.
You show someone you love them by what you do, not by saying words.

For instance, my son's aunties (his deceased father's sisters) very rarely contact him, less than once a year and they say "I love you". Can someone please explain to me how them not making any effort to contact (eg, phonecall, text message, visit, send letters, birthday cards or email) is love?

It's way too easy to say the words without doing the deeds

I wish there was a more powerful meaningful way to tell someone you really love em. I felt like saying "I love you" to my ex was not enough. Anyone could of said that to her & not really meant it. I kept trying to think of better ways to express my feelings for her because I felt whatever I said was not good enough & she couldn't truly grasp the depth of my love for her. I really hate being uncreative sometimes. I cant tell anyone I love em unless I really do & then the words won't be meaningful enough

I can't say "I love you" because I can't love people. I'm not capable of it. I can only obsess. Besides, any kind of romantic relationship will only get in the way of my goals. (Guilt also seems to be something I can't feel, but that's another story)

YES. Definitely. I created a post about this a long time ago too. I have just recently started saying it to my dad, but I cannot and haven't said it to my mom since I was a baby I think! I don't know why....I just can't say it to HER specifically. I can say it to my boyfriends but never my mother .....sad.

I have a really hard time saying it when I mean it, but only the first time saying it - after that it's fairly easy.

A few months ago I told a girl I loved that I loved her. I was shaking like hell and back, heh.
