“He’s my friend who speaks well of me behind my back.” — Thomas Fuller
(Sounds like a friend to me too! What more could one ask for? This one was a little difficult to start. I originally thought the first word was going to be IT’S. But by the time I made it to the author line I was able to see THOMAS, and that made all the difference. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

The word for this is PRONOIA. From Wikipedia: Pronoia is a neologism coined to describe a state of mind that is the opposite of paranoia. Whereas a person suffering from paranoia feels that persons or entities are conspiring against them, a person experiencing pronoia feels that the world around them conspires to do them good.
So, I guess that one doesn’t really “suffer” from pronoia. I’m fairly pronoiac! — YUR

I think your correspondents just introduced a new controversy about our vocabulary. Apparently, new words go from…
Protologism: a newly coined word
Prelogism: a new word in transition to acceptance
Neologism: a newly recognized and accepted word
