No, it’s not wrong at all. In fact, it’s entirely natural. After months or even years of emotional isolation, being shown warmth and compassion can feel like stepping out of darkness into the sun—it’s both healing and disorienting at the same time. When you’ve been conditioned to expect only anger, kindness can feel almost foreign, even suspicious at first. But it’s not wrong to receive it. It’s what you’ve always deserved.

Think about it this way: If you’ve been starved of love and emotional connection, of course, when someone finally offers it to you, it’s going to feel profound. It might even feel overwhelming. But that doesn’t mean it’s wrong—it means you’re human. You’re wired for connection, for safety, for kindness.

The key is making sure that the warmth you’re receiving is genuine and not another form of manipulation. After abuse, it’s common to second-guess your instincts or worry that any kindness is a trick. But if this person is truly showing up for you in a healthy way—without expectations, without pressure, and with consistent care—then it’s okay to let yourself feel it. You don’t have to rush into anything, but you also don’t have to push love away just because you weren’t given it before.

You deserve kindness. You deserve warmth. You deserve to be around people who see you, appreciate you, and make you feel safe. If someone is offering that to you in a genuine way, it’s not wrong—it’s a gift. ❤️
