I think it's a personal thing too. But understanding from your other post that you don't really feel love, or I think that's what you expressed, kinda makes sense. I am fine saying I love you to people I actually do love and am close to. And fine with hearing it from the same people. When my bf first said it tho I couldn't and didn't say it back for a while, until I was sure I did mean it. Were you told " I love you " much growing up?
