Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I never grew past the phase of childhood where kids will be like "oh my God cool shirt we should be friends!"

Sounds like you and I are of a kind.

And the smiles are so amazing. I don't know why more people don't do it, it feels so good seeing people get happy, when all I did was say the thing I was thinking already.

Sounds like you and I are of a kind.

Though this one I think I get. In modern society I think people are trained not to engage with strangers. It took me a few positive responses before I felt comfortable volunteering my thoughts to random people in passing. Also, I myself didn't think to start doing it until I read about how much a single compliment could mean to someone; if I had never read that post, I don't know if it would have independently occurred to me to start reaching out. I agree, though, it's worth doing.

"I love your ne-- I love your whole freaking vibe!"

I once said something very similar to a contractor who came to my house to work on my water system. I think I said "I like your style, it's pretty awesome" - he had some cool tattoos and a fashion sense I would emulate if I were in any way fit. It made him smile, but I don't think it meant as much to him as what you described above.

edit: Maybe because there were no puppies.
