You're just one non-special part of the humanity soup that I love. Could that be right?
No, that wasn't it.

And when I was unavailable to you when you needed some love, maybe that is reminding you of the "love doesn't mean you have to have dinner with someone" feeling -- like, who cares if you love me if you won't be there for me when I need you? That's a nothing sort of love, Angela, and you're full of crap! Is that resonating at all?
No, it doesn't have anything to do with you being unavailable, it wasn't oriented toward you at all. But it did remind me about things in my own life, about my own social life, independent of you. I still don't see the point of telling someone "I love you" when it doesn't really mean anything about them but it's only about you. But that's no reason to be upset or anything.
