It sounds silly, but it totally throws me off.

it doesn't sound stupid or strange.

I think part of it may be has to do with the sheer realisation that you're getting the treatment that you don't think you deserve, or you're not used to.

I don't know if that makes sense or not, but say that you're used to be being treated bad, and then someone treats you with genuin concern and in a nice way

the reason you could be experiencing such a strong emotion may have to do with that- you've never experienced before, so you litirally don't know how else to react

you're not really sad or upset, you're just.... touched, an not sure how else to handle it

Probably because having someone genuinely express empathy and kindness is unfortunately relatively rare.

Me, too. I feel it very much inside but I don't bawl. I think that the last two responders were very accurate in what they said. I couldn't have replied just as good or better myself.
