    The youngest, he still growing up (and doesn't get dad is drunk and joking with shit like "Man, your brother Greater Thunder don't love you one bit") and needs lots of positivity (being down sometimes has him saying stuff like "no one loves me").

    With other siblings, my expression of affection is almost never words but some minor action like doing chores instead of them or cooking them something.

    No. It is just too cringe. Mutual feeling is enough. We don't need to express them.

    Yes, I do say I love my sisters and my mother. As for my brother and dad. It’s more like guy nods that bros do. It’s a cultural thing. Also at least with my mother and sisters. I like them to know. That if this is the last time I’ll talk to them. That my last words with them was love

    I do, but that’s not as often as my sisters and mom. Even than it still a cultural understanding between men. We understand each other. You can believe otherwise, but it’s true. It’s awkward otherwise. Besides the amount of times you say I love you shouldn’t be the benchmark you have on how much someone loves you

    Me having no sibling :blobpopcorn_cool::blobpopcorn_cool::blobpopcorn_cool:
    Being a single child is so dull, nobody to chat and play with, it's all about being alone. So when you meet online people who joke with you, talk seriously with you, and ignore your messages like @ppeach It feels great!

    I do. I also give random hugs when they're around. Mostly to my sisters tho. I can't imagine being too showy with my brother.

    Nope. Absolutely not. I'm not big on affection, and I'm the youngest. I wouldn't know if we're close or not, but I know we care about each other. My older sister whose 5 years older than me, is really energetic and eccentric... So, to mess with me, she would say I love you to me out of nowhere. Just to see if I'd say it back. I don't. I did. Once. Just once. After my sister, we have 3 older brothers. The youngest brother is 8 years older than me. He's an odd one. He also says I love you to me a lot. Then, he'd continue to say "UnknownTakuaN, do you love me?" And that's when I know that he wants me to do something for him. They both know it's hard for me to say it back, so they do that crap on purpose. My second eldest brother is 10 years older than me. He doesn't say that stuff, but we are all close to him. He works hard for the family and provided for us when no one else could (same goes for the eldest). He's really overprotective of his own brothers, so you can imagine what he's like when it comes to us sisters. The eldest and I are really estranged. He's 13 years older than me. But, yeah. We don't talk that much, and when we do, it's usually him telling me to shut up or something lol. So, yeah. I don't. I used to say it a lot, but along the way, I stopped for some reason. Now it's hard for me to say it :blobawkward:

    .... people actually say i love you to your family? XD, our family is really not the vocal type lol, (except for my biological one where we would go on an endless idk just to say i love you XD) I also don't really mind saying it but i don't really do it cause it's just pure unnecessary, i mean, some things are just better off felt than said, unless it's a special occasion where an i love you is needed, or we're drunk XD.

    Rather than words, they do it with action, it's felt by how they help me through certain things despite being such an idk sometimes, Mother love language is act of service, grandpa is quality time, and similar things to my 4 elder brothers.
    Well yeah, what I'm saying is why do u need to vocalise the obvious XD.

    Nope lol, in fact we probably actually hate each other. Not talking to each other is the only surefire way to not fight. We only talk perfunctory to each other if we do. Dunno when this started, we were just like normal siblings back then and before I realize, we are already like this.

    Pfftt—you actually make a thread just for that... And from what i read, most of them didn't vocalise their love to brothers and show it through action instead. And I do that too, so who're you calling heartless monster...:cookie:

    I already told you that I never said to my sister "I love you".
    But I always cared about her ah! If she escapes from the work my mom said her to do,I am the one who has to do it. And her academics,if she has any doubts in the subject I will explain her.Being good to her is enough love I could show her.
    I didn't thought you would make a thread for this.
    And I am not a heartless monster.*humph*

    At least keep enough of a relationship to borrow money from them :)
    I think of that as a good relationship litmus test (don’t go stealing money from your family)
