I am very expressive when it comes to love/affection/emotion of any kind. I am all for hugs, tears, rants, and raves. I have no problem hugging people hello and goodbye, or telling my friends and family that I love them.
Not everyone expresses love that way. Being the neurotic person I am, together with everyone in my family being like me, and a large part of the people in my husband's family being like me, and most of my friends being like me, I have a hard time recognizing love or friendship if it's not shown the way I'm used to seeing it. If people don't act the way I would act then obviously we're not really friends.
Yes, I know, that makes NO SENSE AT ALL.
Well guess what. I'm wrong. And now, I'm a convert. It's been years, but now, I can see love in another way. Actions may actually speak louder, or if not louder, at least equally as loud, as words. Who knew?
