If you want to tell something to someone but are afraid/shy(or whatever) to speak it out, maybe you can get it off your chest here.

I always wanted to say to my father that I love you but I'm too shy to speak it out. Maybe that sounds stupid but that's who I am, a shy, introvert, foolish, immature boy. A boy who always tries to make his father proud so that he can walk with the satisfaction that he was a successful parent and raised a good child. A boy who always wants to see his father smile. He enrolled me in a coaching institution so that I get good education and get a good college. it was too expensive to afford but still he somehow managed to arrange the fees and believed in me. And here I am, getting below average marks, sometimes even cheating. i study hard day and night, sometimes the whole night without sleeping but when I give my tests, I don't get good marks, sometimes even fail. i don't understand how this happens. I don't have any bad habit like smoking,drugs etc nor do I care about getting a girlfriend, I just want to get in a good college so that my father's hard earned money is not wasted. i see him working very hard for 8-12 hrs sometimes even 16 so that he can collect enough money to provide me good education. i am not a good son but i will try my best to become one. you are the purest soul i have ever seen. i respect you and one day i want to hug you and say i did it. but i am afraid i will not be capable enough to see this day.i will try my best to make you proud. i love you.

football love, what a beautiful letter to your father. I can understand how manycan feel great gratitude and love for their parents but feel shy to say so.

Each family is different in how they portray love for each other.

Your father certainly sounds like a great dad willing to sacrifice anything to give his

son the best life possible. Until you are ready to say those 3 words "I love you", tell

your dad how you appreciate all he does for you. Do the best you can in school and

don't put yourself down. A hug, an arm around your dad's shoulders and just plain

caring about him is an expression of love.

Many use the words I love you without meaning behind them. It's okay to wait until

you are ready, I'm sure your dad can see the love you have for him. There's nothing

wrong with being shy and introverted. As you mature, the words may come more

easily. Thank you for sharing an intimate letter to your dad with us. :) xx

thank you very much for the advice. I got very emotional while writing this and had to escape to the washroom to cry for a while.

That's okay... you feel with your heart and there is nothing wrong with that.Sometimes it's just hard to get those emotions out but I hope you feel better

by expressing yourself. This is a safe place to do that. :) xx

If I could tell someone something it would be to the girl who bullied me and tormented me because I told her I didn’t want to be friends with her . What I would say is that I’m thankful that you moved and I’m happy that I will never see you again I feel relief and happiness that my torment and pain is over because your gone I now can finally be happy again and be the person that I used to be I feel like my prayers and pleas have been answered and I feel at peace . This made me feel better writing this 🙏 thank you for this idea
