People who love simply stand still. love does not make people do anything.
With love you use other feelings like HATE, CARE, SYMPATHY, DREPRESSION, etc, to perform actions. People are not moved by love.
If you love you can cry or laugh, but if you cry or laugh it's because you're UNHAPPY or HAPPY not because you love. That's true LOVE IS POWERLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

If you mean feelings people have that can render them powerless, then I think apathy fits the bill Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary:
ap·a·thy
Pronunciation:\ˈa-pə-thē\
Function:noun
Etymology:Greek apatheia, from apathēs without feeling, from a- + pathos emotion — more at pathos
Date:1594
1 : lack of feeling or emotion : impassiveness
2 : lack of interest or concern : indifference
Although this word does not fit in with any of the examples you gave, which were all strong emotions, I feel apathy would be more likely to make someone powerless. No one is truly powerless unless they forfeit their own power. Ceasing to care, giving up...these are the things that make one powerless.
