yes and that's a big problem now adays.ppl say it like it is just a infatuation or lust but its so much more them that. i dont say that till i really mean it. it took me forever to tell my boyfriend that even after he said it to me first and he ended up telling me he appreciated the fact that i waited to tell him when i ment it. we have been best friends for 3 years and going out for 2 years. love is a big deal and it buggs me when ppl use it so casually.

just in case they do need to say it. I think some people say stuff and say that cos they think the listener might think they are treated as stupid if you state the obvious so if you say "needless to say" then they's know you don't think they are stupid, even if you think they didn't know.

carefully, very carefully!! saying you love someone is a serious thing, even though few ppl seem to respect that these days. when the time's right, you just tell them

You probably refer to Foreignese: if a speaker of a foreign language does not understand you, you will suddently start speaking LOUDER and slower to them...\n\nIt's very interesting and everybody seems to do that, even people who are not US Americans or other native speakers of English.\n\nMaybe it's some kind of patronising or caretaking discourse they are adopting?

Because I like people who ask "Why?" We should all ask it a hell of a lot more often!\n      I want to respond to it because I know you are going to read this answer. I have your complete attention at this very moment. Much better than an actual conversation; usually the person you're speaking to is only waiting for you to finish so they can jump in again.

In many cases when people do this, it's because they feel insecure, and being "right" helps them to feel better.  You can simply let them win, assuming that whatever they're saying doesn't matter that much.  You can say something like, "That's an interesting idea."

Some people don't understand what I am saying....They mistake it for something other then what I meant.

Because of sin. Alot of people use the "talk" to cover up the way that they really live.\n\nMy dad always says..."It's not how high you can jump...but it's how straight you walk when you land that matters." Or in this case...it's not how loud you can talk but how straight you can walk.

especially ask...what's with that word?  Why do people find that so hard to say??  It's usually a certain "culture" that has trouble with it....and no, I'm not prejudice,I'm just saying...

Your question sounds like the liars' paradox.. Ever heard of it?? A guy tells you "What I'm saying right now is a lie..", is he lying or not??... if he is lying then what he just said is a lie, but he said he was lying and if that's a lie it means he is telling the truth... contradiction for we assumed he was lying...\nIf he's telling the truth then what he just said is true, but he just said he is lying... again contradiction...\nYou question is almost like this one.. he can't be telling the truth because that would be in a contradiction with what he said about himself... but if he is lying, that's a lie and it means he doesn't always lie... no contradiction here.. just because this is a lie it doesn't mean that all that he says is a lie... so the guy is lying...\nIf you meant to say that someone said "All that I'm telling you right now is a lie" then it's just a beautiful paradox....

Well, it could mean the person is deceitful and manipulative.  Or, maybe the person is embarrassed to say.  Maybe he thinks that the question is rude or inappropriate.  Maybe he is eager to please and doesn't want to give an answer that will distress you.

People say those things to encourage people.  If we didn't have encouragement we wouldn't always strive for things we wanted.  We must also balance this encouragement with some reality.

It can mean several things, depending on the type of question you asked they could be uncomfortable talking about the subject, or it could mean that they like you and are just a bit bashful about things. It could also just mean that they are a shy person ;-)

Sometimes it is because they really want to know how others can respond to it.  A lot of questions are loaded, but that is because sometimes people have so much that they think on a subject, and that is reflected in their question.  \n\nSometimes someone does it to try to prove a point.  Sometimes it is a rhetorical question meant to bring up a point of weakness in a faith.\n\nThe answerers can shed light on the topic however to all who would read the question.  Perhaps the one asking will not listen to an objective answer, but other readers might.\n\nI think that most questions asked in this forum are sincere, and people are really seeking answers, or seeking to know how other people may answer the same question.

Some people want to ask you "your opinion" on many things in life.  Then when you offer it, they want to argue with you about your opinion.  What they really wanted wasn't your opinion, but rather for you to agree with them on their opinion.\n\nI have told a person more than once who wanted to argue with me about an opinion, "Hey, you asked me my opinion and I gave it to you.  I'm comfortable with you not agreeing with me.  Why can't you be comfortable with me not agreeing with you?"

A lot of times it's because they WANT you to be with whom you really like. So it excites them. People like to feel needed and helpful. That's why a lot of times they will run and tell the person. It's not to embarrass you even though it does! The next time someone does that to you just know it's because they genuinely do care for you and they just want you to be happy!
