How do you express your love for someone?

Often if I initiate with somebody or reciprocate (outside of obligation) it means I really enjoy said person.

I'm mostly content in my own bubble.
 
This actually hasn't happened much to me! I usually just talk + show support for the person in conversations to make sure they know I care about them, especially when something stressful comes up where they'd appreciate the kind words. Occasionally maybe I'll offer to send a gift but not often since it's not usually something that comes up in my mind - it's not so easy when I usually live far apart from people now, lol. Even my irl friends are far away currently after 2/4 of us moved. Chatting and being friendly is the most I do, in most cases!

Not.

I am godawful at expressing any form of emotions to others and not even that, I refrain from doing so in the first place cause it never ends well.

Same here TBH, it's kind of a weird double thing for me since I like seeing people in love and all that, but I get nervous when I express love to anyone, be it friends or family.
 
A lot of the time it's vocal for me, I think telling someone "you mean a lot to me" or "I like spending time with you" is really difficult for a lot of people, but it's what they want to hear. I'd rather be completely clear about a message like that so they can't misunderstand that and they know they're appreciated. Though I have learned I express it physically as well through something like hugs or holding hands. I think I picked it up from my mom but never really had anyone to express that with until recently.

I just think whether it's love or friendship or gratitude or whatever, please let people know how you feel or if they make you happy! It doesn't just have to be a crush and it doesn't just have to be saying "I love you" but I think it's something everyone would love to be made aware of.
 
If you mean platonically, I just support them and try to help them how I can.

If I have a legit crush on someone, I wait for a good time to tell them and let them know it's ok if they don't feel the same way.
