when people treat me with basic kindness or decide to speak to me
especially when they ramble on about their interests and share new pieces of information with me it shows me that people are comfortable around me I guess I don't know/I am not sure
but it makes me happy/smile a bit and distracts me from everything else since no one else is around anymore
edit: I guess it also shows me and lets me know that I exist because I see myself as annoying and odd although I am a quiet person who keeps to themselves
