This sounds like a tough feeling to process. Without knowing you, I can only surmise but it sounds like you maybe don't believe that the person really loves you? That they're lying to you? I know that sometimes when we feel really unlovable, it can be hard to take in that someone really does love us. Especially if you have been lied to in the past, or let down by someone who has said they love and then let you down somehow. Accepting that someone loves us can open us up to a vulnerability of being hurt by them. So maybe it's your body's way of protecting you and pushing them away? It sounds like this would be worth chatting through with someone, whether someone in real life or a listener here on 7Cups.

Seems that there is some underlying trauma that coincides with your sudden urge to be upset or angered with someone when they say " I love you". As children, we often do not notice our triggers, because we are young and still learning how the world works. As we get older that is when we take notice, and please keep in mind that triggers can present themselves no matter the time from the trauma. Triggers can be big or small, sometimes they do go undetected. It's okay to feel this way, because we all have things that make us cringe or even get upset
