I actually seldom tell people I love that I do either. I do tell my cat and younger siblings that I love them and show it to them through hugs and kisses. But it gets really difficult when it comes to adults. I even have a hard time just hugging my own mother and telling her that I love her, even when I actually do something nice for her (like get her a gift) I'll just shrug it off and pretend like it's nothing and I don't want any display of emotion...Oh, and of course it gets worse with other people.

They have a terrible time letting go emotionally. Always force themselves not to cry. Their version of crying is thick, intensive gulping with barely any tears coming out (compared to how I can put on waterworks if I'm in the right mood it's a stark and almost confusing difference to me...). I feel this has something to do with their Venus Rx. They also can flip a switch with their ability to be affectionate. Sometimes they're extremely overtly protective and a little gushy, but if they feel emotionally slighted even just in their head they become totally cold.

Venus is retrograde in aquarius in the 7th house in y chart. I've been wondering if somehow it was the reason behind this.

I have Rx Venus in Scorpio in the Third. My reactions are also very muted! People always jump out at me and they get nothing. Why? Because I always used to stifle stuff like that growing up and because of always stifling my reactions, they eventually became dull, I guess.

Interesting... The whole saying "I love you" thing was a skill I actually had to acquire. Now I'm ok with saying it, but when I was younger I couldn't do it for the life of me, except to close family members, and even then it was a struggle. I remember being supremely confused when I had a couple of very close friends say "I love you" to me for the first time. I literally could not say it back to them, so I said the next best thing: "I heart you too." lol. Finally, over time, I got used to it and was able to say it.

I also used to stifle crying, but that was more after I was bullied in school and I realized that crying only made it worse, so I learned how to turn off the water works on command. As I got older I realized how detrimental this was to me and now I allow myself to cry. Now, I still have some problems crying in front of other people, but not nearly as bad as I used to. I used to be mortified when I'd cry in front of others...
