I mean it's empty because you deny people that love you to do nice things for you (I don't care (and it shows!), what do you want to do?). Keep it up long enough and you don't even know what you like anymore. And then you aren't really a fun person anymore.

At least, that is how I experienced it.

Uf, that sounds horribel. Reminds me of the mother in C.S. Lewsis Screwtape Letters

I at some point it becomes performative and false. And not very Christian at all

To be able to say “I love you”, one must first be able to say “I”.
