It's okay to feel that.
The 'insult' is maybe a subconscious repulsion to imagined expectations, with sense of "duty"; that you have a sense of 'obligation' to respond and echo back words that you don't genuinely "feel" reciprocated towards the other person(s) involved?
When you really-truly love someone else who is 'outside of you', then saying and hearing I Love You (towards yourself) wouldn't feel {insulting} to you?
Maybe you're just in a 'dry' place with your life right now, and need some time.
Old Saying ..
"The Ear longs to hear .. what the Heart already knows."
For example, your parents.
You already feel a sense of security about their love towards you.
At some points, you don't really sense-feel the same way about *them*.
Morally,
you want to withhold verbalizing something to them that you don't truly feel in-touch-with inside yourself.
Putting this as a Value in a positive frame--
it's a sign of integrity--
verbalizing ONLY what is true, and what you can actually 'feel' in that moment.
If you feel 'nothing' for them then you don't want to use words that convey any sense of Loving or belongingness back at them.
This is 'different' than the level of a social greeting.
Like, some people have the 'habit' of greeting other people by saying, "Hi. How are you?" -- and in 'actuality', they don't want to hear the truth of how you really are feeling! Those are just 'being-nice' kind of social-polite greetings.

We are/were the Love Generation.
I have a spiritual and emotional availability, to stand in front of someone (a stranger), and say 'I Love You' to them with ALL the Fullness, magnanimity and genuineness in meaning (with Healing) from my Heart and emotions.
This world has grown more 'cold' and detached.
I'm really glad when I have that opportunity to 'do' that for Others. It fills in gaps we have in Society.
They might be milling around this world, in all kinds of pain. But I can make quick eye-contacts with strangers, and the ones who 'need' that kind of Love-sense are able to draw it for themselves, from my inner-sense of Care about them (even though I don't know them).
When I confess that 'I Love You' ..
I'm "talking-through" to them on a Soul-level and to their inner-being.
I 'affirm' and Validate their Existence on this planet, and I hope it gives them a momentary feeling that 'they are Okay', they are Valued and Loved, and they have a Purpose in being Here on this planet.
There are so many Walking-Woundeds ..
I'm just glad to make even just-a-few seconds worth of Difference to these.
