But my current T says this behavior is creepy. And she has used the words creepy and weird to describe me before. So she thinks if I know what candy she likes I'll go and buy the same kind. Which I mean that wasn't why I was asking the question, and so what if I did? But shes just been super careful about the stuff she tells me. I dont normally take it personally unless she reacts the way she did today.

But I mean dont other people do things because it reminds them of people they once knew or reminds them of certain times in their lifes? Isnt that just like nostalgia basically?

Of course people do. Nostalgia and sentimentality. There's nothing wrong with it! I just don't understand why your T has an issue with the candy.
