I have a hard time hugging or saying 'I love you' to my family, even though I do love them and care. But I'm just super uncomfortable with signs of affection, I alwayw have been. I show it in other ways, but not conventional or obvious--whenever my parents say "I love you" I just get really uncomfortable because if I don't say it back, it could come off as not loving them. But if I say it, I feel uncomfortable too.

With friends it is a little different, because I'm pretty much only friends with guys, so other than a few friends who ask for hugs or half-hugs they usually don't show it either. 

Both family wise and friend wise, the only comfortable affection I can give is either leaning on their shoulder or patting shoulders. Basically stuff that doesn't require much touch, but idk a lot of people are fond of more physical affection and I just can't comfortably give it without forcing myself to. My psychologist suggested that it stems the fact that I feel unworthy of love, care, and affection from people, which I guess makes sense, but I don't know.

Anyone else have this issue?
