Why is it so hard to say I love you?

Not even to a partner, just to a friend or family member, people that I genuinely do love and want them to know it. I find it so hard to say. Yet I constantly tell my pets I love them basically any time they breathe 🤦‍♀️

Maybe you're afraid they'll hurt you

@SW-User Like you don't like hugs?

@shans20 I like them but hardly hug people or like to be hugged

@SW-User yeah that makes sense. I don't really like being touched but then it's like I compensate for that with people i'm really close to, like I hug my friends/family a fair bit?

Most pets love unconditionally.

It’s hard to say I love you when you lack trust in the person who has your love.

@JoeyFoxx Except when my cat has had enough of me and hits me in the face with her paw lol 🤕 but yes, we don't deserve the love our pets give us.

I like telling people close to me I love them and my pets

@jaymic64 Like I'm sure that they know, and I want them to, it's just weird I guess. But at least my pets know lol

@shans20 for some people it’s difficult but it doesn’t mean you don’t care. Your actions can say I love you more than saying it.

Pets are 100% non judgmental. Humans can be very unforgiving with their reactions especially accidentally

Well my family is all bananas so I have no love to give to them.
