Sometimes when people say that they miss me, I sometimes find it hard to tell them that I also miss them although it is true that i really miss them also. Maybe it is just unlikely me to reply with an "I miss you too" or maybe im just not that expressive eventhough i also feel the same way as they do. I'm not quite sure if other people also find it hard to reply with "I miss you too" when people tell them that they miss them or maybe it is just me. Do you also say back "I miss you too" when people say that they miss you? Do you also find it hard to reply when someone says that they miss you? Does it have something to do with the person being not the expresive type making it hard to say these words back?

I don't have any problems saying "i miss you" back to a person as long as i really miss them. I don't just reply or say "i miss you" back if i don't really care for that person. I don't do it just so i can make them feel ok. and you don't wanna lie, right? Yes, it might has something to do with the person not being expressive because it is sometimes hard for them to show and say what they feel.

I will tell them the truth ...if I missed them I will tell them so and also tell them how often I thought about them and what I missed. I'll explain how I missed them. If I was too busy to think about them I will tell them that too. You can miss someone being around without think about them a lot. If I didn't miss them at all I need to be honest about that as well.

Normally the people who say they miss me are normally people I truly miss so I have no problem saying it. But if someone I don't truly miss says it I don't feel like saying it in return because I don't truly miss them. But when it's someone I care about I have no problem saying, I often even say it first.

Yes, I say it to those who really missed me. I'm not the type of person who keep on uttering non-sense words. I say "I miss you too" to those who I really miss and that is true.

how about just saying 'me too'? it doesn't sound too mushy yet means the same as 'i miss you too'. i have no problem saying 'i miss you too' but some times my environment does not allow me to do so. like a friend calling me while i'm with my colleagues, i'd just say 'me too'. this way, others around me won't know what exactly i'm saying to the person over the phone. yet i let my friend know that the feeling is mutual.

If the feeling is mutual, then I will most certainly say it back. And often times where I have not seen a person in a while and it someone that I had a good relationship with, that really is the obvious response right in the back of my mind. Of course, it is just something that always amazes me, but time can really go quickly as we lose track of everything that goes on in life. It is a really touching thing when it happens. Of course, there are times where it really depends on the context of how it is said. There could be the genuine "I missed you" and there can be the slightly sarcastic "I missed you" from a person, which tends rather to translate into a "I can't believe I'm seeing your ugly mug again." Tone really means everything with a lot of these people when they say those words.

when i was in my twenties i had the most difficult time telling my boyfriend how much i love him too and how much i miss him too though my brain was shouting "i miss you too and i love you too" at the top of its voice. its like my tongue got stuck on the roof of my palate:) but now that i am old and more in touch with my self and with my feelings i don't find it difficult at all to tell someone i love that i miss him too.

I am not a very expressive person too- especially to my parents, I love them but I rarely express it in words. But I can easily say it to my friends though.. So whenever someone says I miss You, I reply to them, if i really miss them too.

It depends. If I feel the same I will have no problem to say the same thing. If I don't feel the same I won't say the word to the person as it consider as we are lying to them. That is the truth anyway.(^^)

I think that if you love someone it depend that if he or she tell you "miss you" when someone tell you that it means that this person try to tell you something may be he or she have not see you for a long time or you are so far from someone,i don't think it to hard have to reply to someone that tell you "i miss you" and to reply "i miss you too"may be this person want to hear that from you too.But if someone has break your hard and tell you "i miss you" it is another situation,maybe when this person tell you that it can be "i am very sorry forgive me".All is result "i miss you.

Yes I obviously do but perhaps maybe others I would say are not to used to practice saying it back or completing the person who is saying or delivering it that is why they are hesitant to say back such word but it doesn't mean that they are not accepting such remarks or probably they feel awkward in delivering such ,anyway people vary on how they are interpreting and perceiving spoken remarks what is important is the manner it is being deliver and the feelings it tries to convey right.

If I miss the person I will say I miss you too. But I have had two people tell me they miss me lately and I miss one like crazy cuz we hardly ever talk anymore but the other one I talk to just about every day and I don't miss him at least not in the way he misses me. But I think that is you miss someone you should say I miss you too. I mean if it is a long time before you see or talk to them again anything could happen in the time, so say while you can.

Hi cyclopz, I would say back to the person whom I'm familiar with. And of course I'm really missing them authentically. I understand that it's already become a habit for certain people to bolt out "I miss you!" without consideration It's fun and joyous as well to return a "I miss you too" to friends who are fond of joking. Happy posting

It comes easy for me but then again I'm very expressive with loved ones. Being the " not expressive type" is ok.Do the best you can.

I also find myself difficult to say "I miss you too"in return. I usually answer back like "thanks" and even say uh'uh really? But in written I can answer back like when somebody say that to me. Its easier for me to say "I miss you too" but verbally I can't unless I really mean it and miss that person so badly. Happy myLotting!

I also don't just reply back with "I miss you too" but I do tell some people that I miss them and I would even be teary eyed. I am not a demonstrative person so I really don't get to tell even my loved ones "I love you". With my past relationship, my partner would cherish it if I finally said, "I miss you too" because I deeply missed her. Yeah, I understand what you mean. As long as you are always genuine with how you feel in the way you act then it is better than just uttering these words that feel awkward to be coming out of your mouth.

Hello friend, Yes I also say back 'I miss you too'. I don't know why I say that in everytime? Because sometime there was no reason to say that. I think this I try to be formal. Have a nice day.
