I'm not sure if this is the right place but it seemed the nearest fit.

A friend made a comment about me today, it was complimentary but it got me thinking about my behaviour. It might sound a little odd.

We had just finished a run and I commented on the beautiful weather and scenery around us, he mentioned that I often make very positive/affirming statements about my surroundings/people around me. I hadn't really noticed I do it but when I thought about it I realise I do it a lot.

It's genuinely felt, when I like someone I feel the need to tell them - compliment them on their behaviour/kindness/humour whatever, or if they look nice (female friends, I'm a woman) I tell them so. If I like food, in a café or someone's home I comment on it, and I really enjoy every mouthful.

It's not really a problem (no one has said if they find it annoying), but I wonder if it's connected with my breakdown a few years back, I was emotionally disconnected and didn't feel anything at the time. It's almost like I've gone the other way now. I feel extremely grateful for anything positive in my life and tbh there is a tiny little voice inside that tells me it won't last, and so it's like I have to savour everything and everyone good in my life while I can.

Does anyone else experience this?
