How easily do you express affection to family and friends?

[GFHandel]

I do not feel neither urgency nor necessity to express affection to my family and friends. The exception is my younger brother - he is the closest person to me. I call him "signore mio" or "caro signore" in an affectionate way. But I do not maintain physical contact with him, I don't look him in the eyes. I am rather a practical kind of person and I do not communicate feelings and emotions - rather my needs, proposals, opinions etc. Of course, I have emotions but I prefer to keep them just for myself.

 

[Etzelaire]

Express affection? Sometimes I wink and eye or touch someome. There's nothing beyond that. If I hug somebody is because I am about to die or they are about to die.
