Does anybody else feel pain when positivity in any way occurs?
So is it just me or does anyone else feel a dull, aching pain in their chest when they listen to positive/motivational things? When someone smiles and are genuinely happy, it sort of borderline gives me heartburn.

Not quite what you're saying I think, but whenever something really good happens to me, or someone else around me, I get like a mini lingering feeling of sadness because I know that eventually it's going to stop being so good and go back to baseline or to something that sucks. I get the same thing but opposite when something bad happens too, where I feel a small bit of joy because eventually the bad thing will end and I can go back to feeling happy or at my baseline.
