Is it normal that i get angry when people tell me they love me?

Whenever anyone says they love me I get angry and almost want to swear at them. I don't, obviously. But I hate it, especially when people who barely know me say it. I never know what to say and I feel awkward, but more than that, I don't know why they said it. I almost hope that they were trying to manipulate me, 'cause the alternative is that they actually think love can be so shallow.

Can you relate, or is this a mental health problem?
Sorry for any spelling/grammar mistakes, English is not my first language.

    Some people are just uncomfortable with it for one reason or another. I totally have the same thing and it's not a mental disorder (I've checked) just a unique thing.

    It would be courageous for you to soften your resolve

    Maybe they dont actually love you, maybe they just mean they really like how nice you are to them

    People also say stuff like "im gonna kill you!" but obviously they dont actually mean it

    Yeah. I dislike it as well, because I'm normally polite to strangers/acquaintances, however, that politeness isn't entirely who I am. I came across people who don't get to know me, but just like how nice I am and tell me they love me. It use to urk that shit out of me, but after awhile I just see it as them either trying to quickly deepen a one-sided friendship out of loneliness/craziness or manipulation. In the end, I just let them say whatever, nod, smile, and not feed into it.

  • I'm not actually averse to compliments, when people compliment me, I feel fine. It's just when they say something emotional like "love you, miss you" etc. Then I get angry. Silently, I don't express it out loud.

    I don't really ever say that to anyone, and when someone says it to me I feel like they're trying to manipulate me or something.

    I used to think people who told me they loved me, strange women who had only met me for a couple of hours, we're silly. How could love be so shallow? So I decided to use my time to teach them what folly it is to give something they thought so precious away, I'd make an effort for them to say "I love you" through poems and even song and then I'd let them know it was just a game. I did this out of spite and the shallowness of what I thought "love nowadays" was.
    See love meant a lot to me. It was for a time the only reason for my being, a self appointed meaning of my life such as the saying goes.
    "The purpose of life is a life of phrpose" to be an advocate if the true undying love that holds through and through with fiery heat and passion that lasts till death and even possibly longer was what I lived for, tk perpetuate the love I thought was real and to decimate she shallow silly kind.

    I made countless girls cry out of my hate for shallow love. This was in the past, a long time ago.

    No, you sound completely legit in your thinking.

    Maybe they love you as a fellow human being.

    But personally yea, they dont know you like that if they're a stranger.

    Makes sense. I cant just personally love someone without getting to know them
