Why do Americans say 'I wub u :DDDDDDD' to each other all the time? To your gf it's normal, but to friends and family it's awkward as fuck desu.

There has been cultural documentation on this

Americans tend to overstate things

To compensate, when we really need to state something, we have to emphasize it even more, which is why to others we sound either way overly enthusiastic, fake, or overly friendly or some combination of those

>>51958677
Idk I feel weird doing it as an American.

>>51958677
When Americans say they like you, it just means they think you're okay or they're neutral about you

When Americans say they love you, it means they consider you a friend

When Americans say they want to be with you forever, it means they want to go out with you

When Americans say they want to marry you, it means they see being with you long term

When Americans say they'd die for you, it means they'd only divorce you after a long time in the marriage instead of immediately

There is no real meaning behind English words, unlike in other languages.

That's Finnish tho

They actually pronounce the kaksoispiste in ":DDDDDDD" too. It's weird.
>>
Because they wan't to hear you saying the same to them.
>>
>>51959228
I pronounced ":DDDDDDDDDDDD" as ":I)I)I)I)I)I)I)I)"

Phonetically it's more correct
>>
>>51959184
2short words
not enough vowels
>>
I say I love you to close friends, family and my romantic interest if we're at that level.

I say it at the end of each phone call to those people

What's the harm in saying "love you, be safe" to people I care about? Seems like something really petty to groan about

Not really desu

I think you need more love in your life. I'll pray for you OP
>>
Love ye thy brother

His disciples will be known because they have love, one to another

Australia is aggressively against the Living God and they reap the whirlwind.

don't think it's an American thing 2bh. for example, my Russian friend told me he loves me just yesterday. Idk why you guys have to make everything about America
