I worked out that most emotions around "love" come from basic drives being suppressed holding someone back from something/ someone they want.

Mm... for me, true love is by its very nature unconditional, and all-inclusive. If one's attentions are fixated on a particular person, that to me is more likely to be obsession, infatuation, attachment, and/or neediness. I think people very often confuse those things for true love, but in truth I think they're fuelled by an underlying sense of lack.
