When people are mad, they might say 'I love you' to make the other person feel better. Think of it like when a kid says 'I still love you' after throwing their toys on the floor, even though they’re angry, they want things to go back to normal. It’s like saying, 'This is just for now.' That helps them cool down and makes the relationship stronger.
Examples
- A mom shouts at her child but says 'I still love you' after they break the kitchen table.
- A dad yells at his son for getting a bad grade, then says 'I know I'm loud, but I really do love you.'
