Outside romantic relationships, the vast majority of people don’t have to deal with false declarations of love, so there’s no general method here. If you want to ask about your specific case you’ll need to provide more information.
Most, no (but that also extends to romantic relationships). But there are parents who will tell their children they love them, but also abuse them without a second thought. I’ve seen it myself. In that case, I think it’s pretty clear that they don’t actually love them.

Yeah that’s the thing: They (usually) do. It’s weird and irrational, but people are weird and irrational.
