I have never been good at expressing how I feel to the ones I love like family because I feel embarrased and shy. I was never one to say how I feel out loud even when I want to come across how much I love them it always comes out differently. So I always feel bad that they always see the opposite of how I feel. Do you have someone close that you have a hard time saying or just even showing them how you feel? Have you tried several things to changing how things are between them? I feel like I need more courage to do what I feel so they feel how much I love them especially at this time where we hardly get to see them regularly.

You feel that way because maybe you are afraid of being disappointed or being criticized. You should overcome fear

I really hope one day I do have the courage to overcome that fear. I will definitely try to do small things that will leave me to one day overcoming it.

Wish I could do the same freely. I do with my husband and kids but with parents and siblings I get so shy I tend to not doing anything even if I want to so badly.

Start small. maybe with a small talk. Sometimes when you are not reaching out for a long time, you are more shy now to show them how you feel. When you are friends on social media, maybe start by liking their posts constantly, start commenting on them. Then maybe soon you can message them personally on how they are doing with life. Things like that are difficult when you are not expressive person but try to reach out to them and show them how you feel or care about them before it's too late. Stay safe..

When I was young (high school/college) I do not have the guts to tell to my mom and dad that I love them. So what I usually do is to write a note and stick it to their door. :)

I hope so. I think I overthink things when it comes to this matter. I will eventually find a way. Thank you for the encouraging words.

I'm just like you. I have a hard time expressing my feelings to other people. Don't know why I feel it's embarrassing.

We should find a way to overcome this. But I know it is very difficult to do so. Maybe we can try little by little and eventually be comfortable enough sooner or later.
