i love you


Question Posted Wednesday July 18 2007, 11:07 pm

idk why but ive never been able to say those 3 words to my parents.. or even to my closest friends. i mean.. i dont have the type of friends who'd say that all the time and i wasnt brought up that way either. i mean, obviously i love my parents and my good friends.. and i've tried to work up the courage to say that i love them.. but then i chicken out.. like i feel like its so cheesy or something since my parents never really said that though i knew they loved me and my siblings. how can i get better at saying it? cause my dad is in a different state right now, working on a new company, and sometimes i miss him and i think of calling him and telling him i love him but then i also think thats too mushy for me.. and ive never said it before to him so its weird. same with my mom. i mean sometimes im stubborn and stuff.. so me saying that.. why is it so hard for me???? i wish it was easier. i mean maybe if i had a really good boyfriend that i loved it would be easier to say it in a romantic POV, but idk. how can i get better at this like.. mushy stuff?

Additional info, added Wednesday July 18 2007, 11:14 pm:
other than that, alot of times its hard for me to like admit i did something wrong. i mean i can laugh at mistakes i made sometimes, but others.. lets just say that sometiems i lie about things more than i should. even if people end up believing me, i still feel... false about it in myself. how can i stop that? i feel like i know right from wrong, still often i end up doing the wrong thing anyway, for the heck of it. i guess i can be pretty impulsive too.. anyway, this guy i know, he helped me with something online, and i didnt know how to thank him.. cause idk. i guess its hard for me to show how much i care about things when i do, and like show affections. like with boys, alot of times i end up thinking of some of my guy friends romantically, even when i want it to just be a friendship, i still think about it. (even though that part was offtopic lol).

It's good to hear that want to be closer to your parents and I'm glad you are writing this. Some people don't ever say those words, and then, heaven forbid there's a car accident or something and they have to live with the fact that they never spoke those words.

So your thinking is correct- make sure that your feelings are known.

Some people wear thier emotions on their sleeve and for others, it's hard to express this type of sentiment. That's ok, people are different. Plus, you're young and things can change.

Here's something that's helped me before in similar situations- I write it in a letter. Sometimes writing is much easier than saying it. Don't know if you've tried that, but it might help if you haven't. And you can always lighten it up by putting the note inside a cute little greeting card like with a dog on the front or something...or a b-day or anniversary card, whatever.

Sorry, that's the only suggestion I can think of now. =)

Hehe. Well I love you really isnt spose to always be mushy!

To start, try saying it to your favourite teddy bear or object.

Or randomly if your talking on msn etc, just add a ''luv ya xxxxxx'' when your about to log off.

Your parents will be used to you not saying it if you have never said it. Aslong as they know you love them then its not a big deal :)

But yeah I suggest saying it when your about to leave the situation or practicing on a favourite teddy or object

Good Luck <3Marizzle.x
