Is it fair?

Young lady first be more conerned of how they treat you. And know this some people never get used to saying things like that. although they may not know how to function without you

Welp, hopefully their just the type that don't talk freely about the emotions towards others they have. Some are great at giving compliments and some yha have to strangle to get one out of them. My boyfriends the kind you have to strangle! Rarely he'll say, Gee dinner was great, thanks!

Usually I have to ask, How was dinner! People like that just piss me off. Unfortuanely my saying " if your fishin' for a complement, nothings gonna bit at yer pole, just might include certain family members of yours.

You could always ask them in a round about way!

Good luck and No, it's not fair! You deserve a hug....I'm sending you one!

Everyone is different. They probably feel the same toward you, but just are not as comfortable expressing their love to you. As long as they don't dis-own you or something, I'm sure they are okay with you. I don't know if it's a question of 'fair'ness or not, they're just not you. And they react differently to situations regarding emotions.

I've gone 32 years without hearing my brother tell me that he loves me. (He is 4 years older) It's not fair... some people can't convey their feelings as well as others. Sometimes actions speak louder than words! I know my brother loves me, he's been there for me when I had no one else to turn to. No questions.

I have the same issue, I'm the oldest with three younger bros. My family wasn't ever affectionate though. I'm raising my kids with lots of love thrown around, though. I still tell my bros I luv em, but i don't expect to hear it back.

You know what girl don't even sweat that...perhaps they aren't as open with there feelings as you are. I am sure they love you and I know you know they do...if it bothers you so much send them an email or text or something and inform them how this effects you...think maybe they are intimidated by your show of affections.

Well maybe they show it in their actions rather than in words? I cannot remember one time in my life that my father has actually said he loves me. But, that is his personality and I know he loves me very much and would do anything for me.

it happens but you know that they love you right back any way. Give them time. In years they may come out with it.

Some of us are blessed with the ability to express our emotions. Others are not. Give them time to grow, they love you.

it seems that you are acknowledging them because you are experiencing a lack in acknowledgement yourself. if you give something to people in order to get something in return, you'll never be satisfied, cuz they don't know what you are expecting from them. give and receive freely and be open to receive anything. stop demanding things from other people, it's not authentic and you'll never get what you want!
