Is it normal to get affection from random people?

Sometimes, I get affection (mostly verbal...sometimes physical) from people I barely know. is this considered normal behavior? because if it is, then i want to start doing it too tbh. the only reason i dont act like this is because i dont want people to think i am weird.

      • you shouldnt be jealous of me. i have a debilitating mental illness called scrupulosity. i feel guilty constantly. i have a voice in my head telling me I am an awful person and I am going to Hell. I listen to loud music to make the voice quieter.

    I'd think you were strange, but hey. The best people are.

    I doubt many will think you are weird, but they might start liking you or assuming you like them if you dish out affection willy nilly. Which can be annoying because sometimes I like to compliment or do something nice for a stranger/acquaintance but want absolutely nothing to do with them. Alas

    • Well sometimes I like someone I barely know, or I think a random person is cute. So thats why I have urges to be affectionate with random people. And if they start liking me, cool! :)
