I don't really think I'm traumatized but I have the same thing as soon as someone I don't know quite well says something nice to me.

It might very well be trauma but the building blocks of the affection related issues are often based in the 0-3 years of age. Your mother left you with someone else for a week? You will have trust issues for life.
