example:
you volunteer for a hospice organization, the first thing they tell you in training is to NOT become emotionally attached to the clients, and you go "DUH!!" and then after you've worked with a client for a while and he dies and you're totally miserable for months/years afterward and you know it ISN'T because you fell in love with him because that would have been STUPID and then you're still depressed and miserable, and you're still sure it's not because you're in love with him because you NEVER shared one moment of joy or happiness because he was so sick for so long and it was all horrible and icky and just a fucking nightmare because he was super nice and so was his family and you still can't believe you're in love with him even if he was really handsome and despite his illness he was especially concerned about other people in the hospice program and didn't want anyone making a fuss over him and you're still fucking miserable because you won't fucking admit you fell in love with . . .

WoW! Lemme guess, you believe in Santa Claus too?
The word "love" & what it stands for or the way it's defined is unclear! Empathy & compassion have definitions as well. After you check those definitions, I'm sure you will see what you wrote about.
Love, even though there are definitions in dictionaries they are all different because we all see & feel it differently yet very much the same!
We(the human race) have had the greatest minds that ever existed philosophize, argue & debate what is really means.
However, if you think you're "falling in love" with random people.... You should go to a codependent forum instead!!!! *
