Oof, this was relatable.
I've always said that I enjoy, or like, or care about people that I'm close to, because saying that I love them doesn't feel like it means anything. And likewise, being told I love you by someone else has never felt like it meant anything.
I've only ever found interest in platonic and familial relationships, but even then I wouldn't describe how I feel as love, even though I highly value my connection to them. I wasn't aware that there was a term for this kind of thing.
