Content: Such knowledge will prove helpful in many relationships of different kinds. Fear
How people responded to their loving sentiments contributes to some people's refusal to say, "I love you." Fear is often a response when someone's emotional expression is rebuffed or refused. From childhood to adulthood, if saying "I love you" resulted in a negative experience, people may refuse to say it to protect themselves and their feelings. " I love you" may be associated with negative consequences, and people would rather be safe without love than vulnerable with it. Difficulty
Many people do not say “I love you" because they were not taught how to express emotions. Parents and important adults model emotions for children -- when they do not model loving emotions, children may not learn how to express sentiments such as "I love you." As adults, these children may struggle with expressing love in many ways, including saying, "I love you." Men especially may have difficulty saying, "I love you." Males are not socialized to be as expressive or emotional as females, so many men may have trouble saying, "I love you."
