Do you say 'I love you' too much, not enough or just the right amount?
I know I say it too much, but I do mean it!
When my son was still at home I got into the habit of telling him I love you, be safe whenever he left the house because if anything happened I wanted that to be the last thing I said to him. Now I say it often to my friends. Usually I think this is a good thing. But it can become problematic when I don't want phlleo or agape love to be confused with eros love.
I've accidentally told a couple of people I love them then thought maybe that was the wrong wording.
I know some people find it difficult to say at all and others say it knowing they don't mean it and only say it to get what they want.
What about you?

not enough, for one thing i dont have anyone to say it to and also, my parents never said it to us so i was always shy about saying it

I don

I don't like talking to the air. I prefer my "I Love you" to be directed at one very special person "in person." Many, many times a day I wish he was here so i could say it to him personally. However I am forced to live with his choices. Being apart is never as good as being together. ever

Linda Joy why are you apart? -
Percussion IDK, it's a secret.

It's a bland and meaningless statement to make these days. You should instead demonstrate the type of "love" you have, instead of just throwing it out there and making people uncomfortable.

I don't know why it would make anyone uncomfortable. In any case that's on them but I agree you should back it up with action.

Yes.

not enough, i dont really have anyone to say it to

I'm not sure. I think I say it the right amount. I mean, I tell my girlfriend "I love you" a few times everyday. and I sometimes tell my best friend I love her.

NEVER say it unless you mean it!!!

I don't think that you can say it too much as long as you mean it!!! My husband & I made a habit of NEVER leaving each other's side without saying "I love you". Then he went to bed one night & NEVER woke up again. It gave me sooo much comfort knowing that the last word he heard from me was "I love you" & I knew he loved me. So, do NOT stop telling your son that you love him. God forbid that anything might happen, but you NEVER know until it happens; so, don't be sorry after the fact!!!
