A stranger's 5-minute rant about gratitude broke my burnout loop

Last spring I was drowning in a 60-hour marketing job and venting to anyone who'd listen, then this older guy at a coffee shop in Austin overheard me and said 'you're not tired, you're ungrateful.' He didn't mean it harshly, he pointed out I was tracking every complaint but zero wins, so I started a nightly 3-bullet list of small good things and my stress dropped noticeably in 8 days. Has anyone else had a random comment from a stranger shift how they handle work pressure, or am I just weird for taking that seriously?
