I’ve always had difficulty saying this even when I was a child. I don’t know why.
How to say I love you more
How I did it: my boyfriend and i are not very affectionate. i've always had a hard time saying "i love you" out loud, because it always seems to sound weird and insincere, like i'm being completely sarcastic, even if i mean it completely! despite that, i started saying it at stock times- at the end of the night, end of phone conversations, when i'm falling asleep, to the point where now i can say it without feeling like a tool!
Lessons & tips: don't say it just to hear it back! i think a lot of people won't say "i love you" because they're worried that the other person won't say it back, but that's not the point. say it because you feel it!

I want to be able to say I love you more to my family and friends more often. I wish I was more comfortable saying it and making myself more vulnerable. Maybe if I said I love you more then I would be more emotionally open and more passionate.
I’ve always had difficulty saying I love you. I’ve been abused and mistreated by many people that I trusted and it becomes increasingly difficult to trust that I won’t be mistreated again. It tends to push people away.
It’s up to me to make the changes. It’s up to me to get things going. Maybe I don’t hear ‘I love You’ more is because I don’t say it enough….at all..
Get it out there and it’ll come back.
I love my boyfriend but I am afraid to tell him verbally. I feel like I’m pretending when I say it, lol I don’t know why.
I can’t say “I love you” to my friends but I text it to them every chance I get.
