Sometimes, people say 'I love you' even when they're annoyed because it's a way to show how much they care, even if their feelings are mixed right now. It’s like when your sibling bugs you, but then says, ‘I still love you!’ That helps them feel closer and makes the annoyance go away faster. Even if one person is super mad, the other might be trying to calm things down by saying 'I love you', it's a kind of emotional hug.
