why we must shy to say "i love you" to someone we love?

I think sometimes we worry that we will make other people feel awkward. Perhaps they will feel lonely because they do not have someone special in their own lives. Sometimes words of affection and intimacy are best saved for your time alone together. However some people are more worried about themselves then others. These people feel embarrassed on their feelings. They either need some time to accept that they are in love, or to accept the person they are in love with. They just need to figure out if they are ashamed of love or ashamed of their lover. Either way they really need to work things out before they can move forward in their relationship. I think if you are ashamed of your lover the relationship probably wont work. Deep down you don't respect them as much as you should. They deserve someone who loves them enough to overlook whatever it is that is embarrassing you. Thanks for posting and happy mylotting.

For me, its a nice feeling if somebody told or will tell me, infront of other people that he loves me and how proud he is. But I never been a showy person, I don't even respond to the person who said or say that to me. I am just too shy and like to hide my feelings from the other people even if they are my own family. I just don't like showing my real feelings to somebody, and yes I had regrets about it when it was too late to tell them or him!

I do not know, fear of being found out, being shy, not wanting other to make fun of us. It goes away with age tho.

I am always ope to tell to my wife the word "I Love You" and I never felt shy or shame on telling her how important she is with me and How much I do Loved her.....

I never was shy and still am not shy to say I love you to my husband. even my previous relationships. I am very showy with my feelings toward my partner. I was never afraid to say or make him feel that i am so in love with him

Maybe someone feels shy to say i love you is because it's out of character for that person? It's sort of an odd feeling to say that and for me i don't have the courage to say that to anyone. Maybe one day i'll be able to say that.

may be deep down the heart there is something we feel in saying. may be it rushes the blood to the cheeks and we blush so much. Still I think there is some doubt in hiuman minds when we want to say this.

Sometimes it's very hard to say I Love you specially if the person doesn't know that we do love them. W4e are scared to loose them when they know that we love them. It's enough sometimes we better show it to our actions then by saying it. Are you scared being rejected or to reciprocate your love? Love is being blinded by our feelings and emotions, and sometimes theirs usually pain with it. And were scared also that the love we have for that person was not really meant to be, that it's enough to felt love then not having felt love alone. Have a nice day!

Never be late or the opportunity is lost..., meybe there will be someone else in ur place and then there is nothing for u except regreting, better u say it, if it is accepted then good or else forget, maybe u r lucky next time.

Not really! or shall I say not all people are very shy to speak those words in front of many audiences. If you think that the people will redicule you if you say those words that means you're not true to yourself and to your love one. Saying I love you in front of many others is very courageous. I admire people who said this to their love ones regardless of too many crowds. Happy ThanksGiving Canada!

I seriously doubt that shyness man. I think it's got more to do with fear of rejection and the hurt that will cause than shyness. I say this because I have seen the most straight forward and people who are completely regardless of what other people think, quiver when they had to confess their love. Now you cannot say that shyness is the reason because they are not shy in the first place . It's the apprehension and the hesitation and the fear of rejection that causes them to consider and reconsider their actions. bourne

Well, I think that it's just about making other people feel awkward, you want to make sure everyone is comfortable. I don't think I would care either way, but some people think it's a private business, I guess!

ha ha..good question..why we have to shy to say that..that is love..that is it power..love is a wonderful feeling..whiel experssing it..we are having some hesitation and shy..that is a nature one to all..he or she may reject our love..all may laugh for our love with someone..we would not the ideal match to that person..like that..our mond having number of thinking because of these we feel shy to say our to someone..i think this may be a reason..lets see the others reply to you..have a nice time in mylot

I am not really shy to express the love I have for special people. I can actually say it without feeling shy about it. :)

[b][i]In my opinion... [/i][/b]If you're shy to say I love you in front of family or friends, then you do not truly love them. When truly in love you do NOT care what others think or feel. And you surely don't worry about how stupid you're acting!!!
