I stopped by the local Chinese food place yesterday for some rice and soup. My regular server was there, and she must have been able to see I was having a crummy day and she gave me a hug. Very early this morning I went to the grocery store. I asked one of the stockers if they had any boxes I could use for moving, and he said he would set them aside for me and asked my name to make sure they were saved.
I know this is based in part because of my ongoing issues with depression, as well as current situation, but I teared up when these total strangers were nice to me.
Why does other peoples kindness affect me so much? Am I not used to kindness? Do I not think I am deserving? Or is it just the surprise that there are just some really nice people out there?

I'm always shocked when complete strangers are willing to go out of their way to help me.
You do deserve it.
