I go back and forth with being willing to tell people I love them. Sometimes I dont want to say it, like I feel that its inappropriate I guess. Other times Im quick to tell someone that I love that I love them. And it doesnt have to be a special occasion, either. Sometimes I just want to remind someone Im close to that I love them : p I guess I just feel emotionally charged to do so at that point in time for whatever reason : p
I have noticed, though, that most people generally act odd or uncomfortable when you do, haha. I guess it just takes them by surprise, and with those words being as intense and meaningful as they are, most people dont like to just say it, so it takes them a bit to move forward with it I guess, haha. I have two close friends that I talk to often, both males. One of them will usually respond by saying it back in a more casual fashion. Like we talk often online and through text, so hell often write back "I wuv you too" or something. And the other often makes a joke of it, by saying something like "stop being gross" or whatever, haha.
(During more serious times he has expressed the feeling for me as well of course, there was once a really difficult time where he gave me a hug and told me that he loved me and all that junk)
This conversation reminds me of something that happened to me recently though. It was my birthday, my mom and I were getting ready to go out to a Chinese restaurant for dinner. I was texting my sister, asking her if shed like to come with us. She responded "Sorry, Im out of town with a friend, I cant". She usually doesnt really talk to me at all ever or go anywhere with me or anything, so I wasnt at all surprised. But she texted back "but happy birthday. I love you", and that made me really happy : p
We have always been a bit off with each other, we have never really gotten along or have been very close to each other. Of my three siblings she definitely knows me the least. But it made me really happy that she texted that to me : p
