This is my style and comfort level - more than that to anyone not a lover /family member/long time close friend would be over the top gushing in my world. And I would say it to lover/family/friends on some things.
Also I would find it as comforting as I find others in general. More than that said to me from an acquaintance/ non close friend/family would be over the top insanity as well.

Probably why people here don't find me super warm and fuzzy even when I think I am being smothering
