So what gets me is the idea that saying or hearing I love you means a person is surrounded by love in a loving environment. I have known many the person who says I love you to people who they would not go out of their way to pick up if they needed a ride. I see love in the actions I take and my family takes on a a regular basis.
yes this is the crux of why I made my comment. I love you used as a replacement for goodbye just feels like it lessens it. Curiously when I tell my wife I love her verbally its actually an action because I know she needs to hear words sometimes but much like swearing I don’t like it to become to so common it looses its meaning.

Ideally yes, but I do recognise they’re just words in the end. Actions are what matter most if I’m understanding you correctly? If so, I fully agree!
