#13: Stranger Compliment

A random “I love your jacket!” or “Your hair looks amazing today” lands like a sneak attack of serotonin. You didn’t fish for it, you weren’t prepared—and that makes it hit ten times harder.

Suddenly you’re walking taller for the rest of the day, replaying it in your head like a tiny ego trophy. Strangers can be unexpectedly kind, and it feels like winning the micro-interaction lottery.
