Please help me with advice or opinion

I don’t know if this Is the right reddit, but please just give my your oppinion 🙂

Hi

I’m letting my negative voice get the better of me and now I don’t know what is really just the negative voice or real. I need advice

So I started a new job a month ago. I’m really enthusiastic about it because my first job was not it, my colleagues weren’t really nice, didn’t do anything to get to know me ect…. ( and I know they didn’t need to but I just like that)
And in my new job people are happy about me, they do want to get to know who I am, not just if I can do the job.
And I have one colleague who is just really happy and enthusiastic that i’m working there, she gave mr compliments about my work energy and being happy ect….

In my enthusiasm I told my parents about her and that she gave me compliments.
They immediately reacted like she did something wrong, they asked if she was losing her job or scared to lose her job or just insecure. I got really defensive ( I get that alot when my family has an opinion like this about someone they don’t know)
But now my grandparents had the same reaction when I told them my colleague liked me and my work energy ect…

Am I wrong for thinking she gave me an sincere compliment ? Are they reacting in a weird way. I don’t know anymore, this makes me doubt my work again and the realness from my colleagues.
Maybe she is insecure, but does that mean the compliments are fake? Am I not nice to work with.
Is my enthusiasm wrong? Should I not be enthusiastic about a compliment???

Update:
The compliment was :

My colleague said to me she was happy that I started the job and chose the job. And she said she liked my energy and that i’m always happy and she likes to work together with me.
