I don't want to seem cold, but it's just not natural for me to talk so much syrup, and I feel a bit uncomfortable when they say I love you all the time and I don't say I love you too.
I you've ever been in this situation, what did you do? BTW, I don't doubt their sincerity, and they're not out to get anything, just SOOO dramatic and expressive.

I agree with my friend tomjohn2... All I want to add to his response, is never regret not saying I love you! Life is all too short. People come & go in our lives. Some stay & some just breeze around for awhile. Take the I love you's as a smile that made your day & try as best in your own way to pay it forward! You won't regret it...

Shower the People - by James Taylor
You can play the game and you can act out the part
Though you know it wasn't written for you.
But tell me, how you can stand there
With your broken hear ashamed to play the fool.
One thing can lead to another, it doesn't take a sacrifice
Oh father and mother, sister and brother
If it feels nice, don't think twice
Just shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel.
Things are gonna work out fine if you only will
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way you feel
Things are gonna be much better if you only will

I can relate - I am not that way either. I just smile and say "uh huh" and then change the subject. It wont take long for them to either stop or ask you why you do not say it back.

i used to feel like you. it was foreign to me to say that. i felt that people who did that were phony, likewise with the hugging.
i don't know what changed me. i realized that i do love them. everybody. i love all of god's creations. in love is different. love or loving is a good feeling. its clean and true and fresh, and you know tom, i l"love" feeling that way. when i tell my co workers i love them, its true. why? because of the human frailities that we all have, because they are human and lacking in perfection, because they love me and put up with my imperfections, i love them. we are all in this together. god knows that we have little else to save us in this life.
i guess that is admitting that i am human and i need you. i love you tom, never met you, but i feel that i know you thru our email and q&a's. i love the fact that we are admitting our imperfections and seeking advice and help.
