Beautiful and sad. So many people are hurting, and need someone to talk too! Did you expect the people to open up to each other like that?
Wow, I love your video's Thorayaa, they help me alot.
The way the bald man was clearly going through hell but still answered "better" shows how strong he is
@Alliyah Saotome I disagree. Sure, usually I'd say you're right but this is a different situation and he opened up about other things. I don't think he was lying either, he is doing better, I just think it takes a lot of strength to acknowledge that when you're still suffering
@Alliyah Saotome I can kind of see your point. but the thing is when I lie I tend to say I'm okay or I tend to not reveal how badly I am doing to begin with. so if I reveal something I'd probably reveal it to a lesser degree than complete honesty you know?
but when I've been completely honest and then I say but I've been doing better, I do mean that.
And he listens to LAPALUX! Oh. Pure gem of a soul.
Not strong. Ready to break.
I don't think it's a matter of strenth
Imagine if people actually spoke like this face to face. The world would probably be a little different
It would probably be soo much better
I guess we would also have less mental health issues
yeah life would definitely be better if we wouldnt treat eachother like NPC's
@@sanne433 i feel like we would but it would be easier for people to heal if they can talk and relate to other peoples struggles, love is all anyone really needs
@@sanne433 a good amount of mental health issues are chemical or hereditary so maybe not.
Nobody talks like this face to face.
My mom passed two years ago and whenever someone asks me how I am, I just want to tell them that it sucks and my heart is broken. But nobody wants to really hear that, nobody wants to cry or really feel. They act like it's a sign of weakness.
We need more empathy.
Some people are very selfish. But there are people who will listen and cry too with you. I lost my Dad over 40 yrs ago, he was only 61 and I was 16. Didnt have a chance to hug him and say I love you. I understand
I want to be clear, I'm not saying this to take away from how you're feeling or say you're wrong. I often felt very similar to this through my life, lots of sentiments like "nobody wants to hear it" or "these are things that I alone have to deal with". At some point I just couldn't save face anymore, People would ask how are you and i'd respond "how am I really or should i just say i'm good?". After I started doing that I realized that those closest to me shared in my sentiments, they all felt like they just didn't have someone they could be true and transparent with. All of the people that I held dear were more than willing to listen to my grief, many of them able to relate or having similar feelings that they wanted to articulate. After showing the world my weakside many people around me felt comfortable expressing their own. Even people that I had previously considered acquaintances at best suddenly wanted to confide in me and also gave me the space to do the same. I'd often hear things along the line of "you know there aren't many people that I can talk like this with". Lots of long winded conversations came afterward, even from the people that I always thought "had it together". Tears were shed and laughter was had, It was refreshing to allow myself to be vulnerable.
I'm not going to tell you what you "should" do, but I think that you may find that there are many who share in your feelings if you allow yourself to open up. I think that people as a whole are more similar than dissimilar, I'd be willing to wager that there are hundreds of thousands of people who can relate to the idea of "I just want to tell them that it sucks and my heart is broken" and if you'd like you can chalk me up as tally number 1
Geez, I feel the same way. My Mom passed in 2022 and whenever someone asks, I want to be honest but you can tell the person asking doesn't truly want to hear it. They're just asking to be nice and "try" to make you feel better.
❤🖤💯
for what it's worth I'm here for you.
When you realize MOST people are going through something major, it helps to give everyone a little leeway and compassion.
I love this
Why don't I believe this for most people?
When the girl asked “how are you REALLY?” I already had tears in my eyes.
Same here...😥
This video makes me tear up 😭
I also. The question really touched him.
Omg yes
Sameee🥺
I think we all agree that the purple hair girl and the man who was talking to her could relate to each other a lot despite being from so different generations. It was beautiful to see. We share more things with others than we think. It kind of brought me a sense of humanity team building.
People always talk about how you will never be able to actually understand another human being and that it’s impossible because you will never be them, but I think that it’s kind of a naive thought when you see people like these two talking to each other.
@@peepeepoopoovdbhxvbcc6683it's impossible because you can never know what everybody has been through or what they've thought or what secrets will never tell other people. I know what you mean but everybody's life is just as comples as yours is
Yea i feel what you said, we just avoid people that are different outside, but inside is kind same.
That man was just saying the things he needed to hear at that age. He could tell she was younger by her voice/inflection. Her question "how are you, really?" is a projection. She needed someone to ask that to her but more than the question she needed his response. Because knowing other people arent ok somehow makes being not ok more palatable.
Source: I'm an older brother and 29. I know these things. I've done these things.
I agree, I hope they keep in touch!
Am I the only one who wanted them to get up, see each other, and hug?
I haven’t finished watching the video yet, I’m hoping this is a joke
edit: ok not as bad as I thought it was gonna be. I thought your comment was implying that they made each person get up and leave without ever meeting them face to face.
@@evsta99 Thanks for editing once you realised you misunderstood my comment. I appreciate that. They see eachother...I just wanted them to hug after they'd been so vulnerable with each other. That's all.
@@SemolinaBeelolol yeah I was so worried they weren’t gonna be able to see each other. A hug definitely would’ve been warranted though, I agree
When the gal with purple asked him ‘how are you really?’ Made me think that no one had asked him that with a genuine interest, in a long time.
The bald guy and the pink haired girl brought me to tears.
yep, so much crying over here. those topics just really really touch me
Multiple times.
A Pisces and a Sagittarius meeting lol
@@javierlopeztapia5588 Or they had aspected moons. That's what I kept thinking.
Purple
The natural connection between the young lady with the purple hair and rhinestones and the bald gentleman was so humbling and heart warming to me. I feel they were connected for a reason.
Off subject from how beautiful this comment was, but its white liquid liner dotted on the lids to make your eyes pop. Try it! Its a very fun makeup look.
It was such a sweet and vulnerable conversation! ❤️
@@courtneyflows For sure. They had instant chemistry.
Listen! when she spoke about her father & he spoke about his daughter my mind said “they need to keep in touch. He’ll need to be there for her someday”
I hope her dad recovers & they share all they desire before either of them move on to the next phase.
@@syw9882 agreed
When Karen talked about wanting to help her immigrant parents return home before they pass away and how she felt that translating for others because she sees her parents in them was so real to me. I didn't expect for this video to be a mirror as much as it was a window. I seriously didn't think I would cry during this either. Damn.
The way the brunette woman said she’s afraid of her looks, and spent the most of the time talking to him about his ex… that’s beautiful. What a selfless soul.
She's amazing
She and he belonged together…
The first second I saw her I just mumbled "beautiful".
@@down-to-earth-mystery-school Nah I disagree - he was clearly still not over his ex, at all, whatsoever. Does that make him a bad guy? No. But he's obviously not in a space to give someone a fair level of emotional commitment.
That grown man and purple haired girl’s conversations were incredible. Both were so vulnerable with each other and being able to slightly relate in her Mexican culture and him growing up learning so much about it opened them up even more. A great pair🥺
Yeah part of me hoped that they exchanged numbers to stay in contact with each other because their conversation was so therapeutic and I felt like they could really help each other out
Love that duo. They were great
They had such a deep understanding and exchanging of kindness, I genuinely hoped they'd hugged each other
Absolutely wholesome. I wish we could all just talk like that and be open to other peoples issues... Sometimes we just forget that others go through difficult times too and it just takes a few minutes of listening to really hear.
Sometimes I really forget, that it's ok to feel.
I related so much to each of dem .they had me crying
You know we live in a sad world when two strangers share more about each others than two friends do.
That means you should probably get better friends. Not trying to be mean, I'm actually serious. I have the luxury of having the 3 best friends anyone could ask for. They aren't even friends, they are some of the only family I have. Try to find friends like that.
@@laylonlee229 Oh I do have them. I carefully used the word friend, not best friend or soulmate. peace!
It’s easier telling it to strangers because you have no commitment to them, whereas your friends know you better and that can be scary
Sometimes it's just hard to talk about difficult things with the people you care most about, because you care for them, and you don't want them to feel burdened or worried by your struggles.
Very sad
I love how she cried with him even though she didn’t know him.
I absolutely ADORE Casey and Karen.. such beautiful people. Casey has so much wisdom to share with the world & Karen's empathy is heart-warming. Gosh.. wish I could see more of this.
Imagine if we asked people
"How are you? Really"
And stayed for the answer. What a world we'd have
In The Netherlands almost everyone is honest when asked "how are you". It's part of our culture, it's totally normal here to say "well actually I haven't been great (because this thing happened)" sometimes I forget it's not normal in other countries and people are shocked when I'm honest 😂
@@lunatonkens7933 that sounds like a dream
That is actually how conversation works in Germany. If someone asks you how you are, you answer honestly. Today I would say: "Not so great because my back hurts a lot" and that would be a totally normal answer. This is part of the reason why Germans think Americans to be fake and superficial. Just be your true self :)
@@ErklaerMirDieWelt well we are. We're rude ignorant selfish to and entitled.
I keep to my family and like 3 friends
I did see this in Trinidad and Tobago I remember being so shocked asking if they knew each other... They did not it was just normal conversation
I feel like we live such rushed and busy lives that we feel like we don’t have time
The girl who says she doesn't like the way she looks is stunning. My heart breaks that so many of us feel this way because of our rotten society. :(.
Someone told me just today that I don't look nice.... 😶
.

.

But, do I care?
HELL NO! 😁
But we are society
You are society
@Lola Is Pure @Daruki Neo A society is built up not only of people, but ideas and belief systems. Ours has been shaped by people who wish us harm, and therefore there is much that is rotten with the ways we think. How many people don't love themselves, or base their image as not good enough based on the unrealistic images in magazines. That's just one example.
@@shasa8223 it's your fault
i felt like the woman with purple hair and the man had a soulmate connection. i could feel her relate to him besides their differences in many aspects like age gap it was wholesome to watch. also her eyes and hair are beautiful
As someone that's got severe depression, social anxiety & agoraphobia, I'm incredibly isolated and emotional. This video made me cry so much. All of them touched me in 1 way or another, but the bald man that looks so "tough" absolutely broke me. He is hurting so bad and I just wanted to hug him. It's such a shame that often the people struggling the most, are the ones that are alone. If only we could all be friends & support one another, the world would be much better. ❤
Knowing that other people feel like you do - how does that make you feel? Do you feel reassured? Or like no one really understands your exact situation? Or soemthing else?
I feel the same 🥲
pls get thru it ok. if you really serch for a way out you will find it. i know from expierience. sorry my bag english. i am sitting in a mountaintown in germany :) greets to you. wishing you the best
that is why he was so fast to break down. IT is generally a man thing. bottle it up over and over. becoming numb to it. every day someone says the small talk of how are you, we just say fine. but what bothers us instantly pops into our heads. every single time. when asked, which is everyday.
thats is why when someone asks how are you really, it can make us just start crying in an instant. because the thing we bottle up pops up when asked how we are doing, its primed. well just smile and say living the dream. ask how were really doing and it can come out in tears because it almost does every time anyway.
sometimes trangers will ask that, and poof im crying and we share a moment. its rare.
but yeah, man hack or for anyone bottling emotions.
also I dont exactly know how you feel. But I can tell you my sister does. the agoraphobia. she stopped driving it got so bad and would get panic attacks thinking about getting in the car to even drive. she worked on it by voice chat online, got conformable. worked up to driving to small gas stations. drove back home if she felt panicked, until she felt she could overcome it and go inside. now shes moire independant goes into loud restaurants, which was instant panic attack before.
I dont want to sound harsh to you. But I know the isolation can make it more emotional and cause rumination to further drive the phobias. which makes it worse.Dont know if youve tried the exposeure theraby like we did? build a list and move up until you can do it.
personally I didnt find out last year at 29, I have ASD plus ADHD with social anxiety that would paralyze me. I know what thats like. Communication issues because I ahve to pay attention to body language, facial expressions and tone.
Im not even gonna say do what I did. Dont know why. 1 day I literally was like, I dont give a shit what people think about me. if I stutter or get weird looks. I knwo im weird and cant change it. I dont care. I cant fix everything But I can change myself and try to be nice to others
The first gentleman who opened up about his struggles.. he spoke in a way that targeted the collected consciousness of us all. I felt he was speaking my own thoughts, that was so touching.. much love to everyone on this crazy journey, we all will learn what we need to learn.
💯💯🥺🥺
🙏🙏 agreed! Slowly but surely it's happening. The only way out is in. Be the light, hold your power close to your heart. "It is our light, not our darkness which most terrifies us." By holding this sacred space within yourself, looking back at our inner "demons" and smiling at the "enemy" within we are free. I too am learning this. By being and coming into your truest self we are unconsciously inspiring others to do the same. May we all find this peace. We are all related, all is connected. Keep rising, keep going. We have all survived something. Remember not to listen, but to hear. Live to be happy, not right. You are loved.
@@CieloGnzlz91 If you have not found a way through career or otherwise to share your gift of words, you should. There is both beauty and power in what you say and that is a rare talent. You should use it.
@@addicus1763 I do, every day. I plan on a career in eldercare/nursing where I can connect and work with elders to share knowledge. I do spiritual work with friends of mine of various firms such as reiki, womb healing (divine femine and masculine balance and highest expression empowerment) as well as channeling. I plan to one day write a book with my words as a channel to these wisdoms. All of this has been with us for thousands of years on all corners of the earth, it just takes some remembering. I currently write poetry for this. I appreciate your kind words, and offer the knowledge that these energies and forms of healing/being are coming much more to light. 💚💛
Thank you. I feel great knowing people connect to how I'm feeling, despite how my mind plays perception games telling me otherwise. Have a great day! One love.
This is what we are missing in our society. Real human interaction. Imagine if we did this on a daily basis with each other?
Social media has ruined us :(
You can… start a random conversation with someone. You honestly don’t know how much you can learn from someone. Even a small compliment can go a long way!
Hope you have a great day/night!
This is so true,!!,!!,! We need this very often
I love this kinda stuff. My mind is reeling with ideas on how to exponentiate this. Glad you see the value of open communication
People do this all the time in online gaming with hundreds of people all over the world.
That man who's bilingual is a gem. Something I wish more Americans embraced. Good job, grandma, and good on him for embracing that. A lot of people from the USA just have an indifference to other languages. Having a good understanding of Spanish when that is what your neighbours and immigrants speak is imperative. Worst case scenario, you know your enemy, but more positive, you open your world to a billion people you can connect with.
For me, as a Dutchman, I would have missed so many experiences in life, were it not for my love of a second or even third language. A whole new pool of people to speak to, share ideas with, or find love in. Worst case scenario, you know when you're being insulted. Learning a second language only has upsides in my book. Especially if it's a country you're going to have many immigrants from, is your neighbour or you plan to visit.
I worked in the Netherlands for several years and this is the one most impressive skills you learn while you are in primary school (sorry I have forgotten what the early years of education is called).
Most of the friends I made there some 3-5 languages if you count Latin. The streets are filled with every kind of language you can imagine. I seldom encountered a Dutchperson who didn't know English. Thank goodness.
I learned the basics of the language to ensure I could be respectful and wouldn't seem like ANOTHER AMERICAN. My newfound friends taught me over dinner and quizzed me in the halls at work.
We are now lifelong friends. I knew I could count on my charismatic self to sway them beyond those basics. 🤪.
The guy talking about his mom really got to me! I completely understood him when he said he listens to the song just to "feel" because he doesn't want to forget as time passes by... That is so very true! My mother was my BEST friend and the BEST person I've ever known, and there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about her and miss her! 😢
I think everyone who lost a loved one understands. I do too, even though I've lost my mum so early in my life, so long ago that it's really hard to remember or feel the pain.
When that guy said he struggles to hold a conversation I instantly loved him he's very relatable and he's the kind of person I'd love to talk to so many people struggle with this but his heart melted mine
Mee too.. Im struggling with this as well.. As an introvert, its super hard for me to keep a conversation going and everytime i try, it gets awkward. Idk how to fix this. My biggest insecurity 😭
@@shibila.k7501 you're amazing always know that and you'll meet a person who understands you'd be surprised how many people go through this I'm the same I always have been some people think we're weird but it's not that you just don't have the confidence
I can put pen to paper and be so articulate and well spoked. In real life, I don’t speak much.
When he talked about that I burst into tears because Im going through the same thing right now and it's really hard to cope with. Its humbling to see others going through it. I hope its temporary and things get better
@@MidnightCruiseTV Your stronger than you think believe me I go through it to its the hardest thing to cope with I'm ok once I get talking but I know how you feel sending you love
We're all just walking around a conversation away from tears. I teared up just listening
Are we really tho? Is this normal?
@@awsheit I don’t know if it’s normal but most of us are, especially younger people
@@Ashley-lz9jh I feel like a lot of people just aren't processing even the simplest of things that happen to them. A lot of what gets brought up really should've been processed years ago. What's really going on here?
Because this level of connection and vulnerability and love is what our hearts long for, the space where they long to reside. And, it’s what we all TRULY are, what our souls are at our deepest essence: love.
Maybe we all need to cry
I didn't realize how much this would make me cry, I thought this was going to be a funny and awkward conversation but they were very emotional. I probably cried more than all of them did combined
The first two we saw, with the man and the girl with the purple hair, when she asked how he was doing and he just started crying, that really hit home. She was clearly going thru it, too, and they felt for each other. People will often automatically say they’re doing good. But in this situation they said how they were really feeling, and you could tell they’ve been bottling it up most of the time. I think most people relate to that
The bald man and pink haired girl were destined to speak this day. They needed each other even as strangers. So touching to watch.
It’s insane to me that most of them kinda start crying when being asked how they are REALLY doing. Shows how crazy the world is and how hard it is for everyone. Seems like everyone is repressing their feelings 🥲
Yep, I saw a sign in a window that said "Don't give up." While I was on the bus and found myself crying. Kinda scared me that I was feeling that close and didn't even realize it.
Shows how much we never hear it and the person mean it enough to be honest about it.
I was just reading about a study on how texting doesn't connect us to each other as much as phone calls do. It makes me sad because people will text each other while they're in the same room together. Just turn your heads and talk!
It’s soft and pathetic. Our society has become weak, especially the men, and that is why it’s literally falling apart before our eyes.
It’s the reason men can pretend to be women and completely dominate women’s sports and the reason children are being exposed to drag queens. Soft society.
Just my opinion.
@@azurephoenix9546 Just imagine what social media is doing. I see it all the time, people having conversations with their phones, just pick up the phone and talk, or even better meet them for a coffee, or a walk, something people are forgetting how to do, socialize. Ironic, huh? Social media is destroying how we socialize.
To the purple haired girl. My Dad's favorite song was Stairway to Heaven. He was also a musician. Years ago after my sister and I had grown he moved into my Grandma's house to take care of her. I remember staying there for family events and in the evenings and occasionally in the mornings you would here him upstairs playing guitar. My sister and I can tell you about dozens of times Stairwell to Heaven was our lullaby. He told me DOZENS of times growing up it would be played at his funeral. After he passed, the only part of his service I cared about was the music. It's hard to put the feelings into words but being able to have the honor of insuring that was played at that time offered the first bit of closure I got after his passing. Its been almost 4 years now, and it still feels like yesterday. My dad and I's relationship was built on music just like yours. Cherish that. The BEST memories I have of my dad are 100% tied to songs, so the gentleman you spoke to was pretty on point with that tying emotions to music statement.
You have a great dad and I can tell you have a great future. I hope you see this and I wish you all the luck.
6:02 the subtitles say Casey “mumbles” but, no, he said “Zapotecas” which is an indigenous group of people from Mexico. I don’t mean to be nit picky, but when I heard that and saw the subtitles didn’t show that it just felt like rubbing salt in the wound considering everything indigenous people have gone through and how often they’re ignored/erased from history. I don’t think the subtitles missing the word was intentional, but I did feel the need to comment.
Auto generated subtitles. Blame UA-cam.
Oh relax this was a beautiful moment. Your comment did not need to even be addressed. It’s auto generated through UA-cam so it’s not like they kept that out. Just enjoy the video for what it was.
Zacatacas?
I wanted to cry as soon as they did- they all deserve hugs
Update, I'm bawling
Hahaha your profile picture 😂😂😂 love it
i thought u said "they all deserve drugs" 😂
Same.
I use ur profile pick for most of my other accounts too lol
You are not alone
It's incredible how close to tears we all are at any given moment. We all need someone to talk to.
You are not lying! Sheeesh, I teared up when he spoke about his mom.. Made me think of my mom. But this made me realize I do need a healthy friend.
Dobt be a pusaz
Amen however how do they not see eachother b4 they sit down & why the headphones needed ? Cool concept tho almost like the voice tv show
@@coryr7183 they are hearing each other through the headphones and speaking into their microphones
So true!
9:41 I felt that part on a whole ass level. Wow. So powerful.
“…even though it’s not necessarily a good feeling, it’s still SOMETHING.”
The way that guy smiled when the lady said his voice sounded nice was beautiful
The purple haired girl. The moment she said “my parents are immigrants” and “they wanna go back to where they’re from before they leave” literally hit home so hard. 💜
That's why it always hurts me to hear racist people say "Go back to where you came from" as an insult. I'm just happy to see two people that actually get it.
💜💜💜💜💜
I’m all for them going back to their own nations. I respect the desire to be home again before you die. It’s unfortunate that situations are such that they need to look for a better life elsewhere. I would hope all peoples of the world can build, thrive, love, and govern themselves and pursue their own destinies safely and free from harm in their own homelands.
It's what my mom says too, she wants her last years to be back in her home country... but it is not possible, it would be like starting over at this point.
@@followerofthetrain6336 you are right!!! My dad always say if cuba wasn’t the way it was. He would of been making a living of I. Cuba in construction. But it’s next to impossible
The first guy, from San Diego, and the Mexican girl, they seem to have a lot in common, much more than judging by their external appearances, they should hang out again.
The guy with the hat who was talking about how he told his (ex)girlfriend I Love You for the first time hit me hard. I told my first love that I loved him for the first time that exact same way. We broke up after 2 years and have both moved on but that love was so pure. I still think about how deeply I loved him often.
the conversation from kacey and Karen just is just so beautiful. I´m in a similar state and this really pierces my heart
Karen(purple hair) and the grown man had an amazing conversation and I even teared up a little. These two would probably never speak to each other without this experience and I know it felt good to get off their chest.
Because she would not be attracted to him. Automatic no go.
I really hope they became great friends after this
I teared up a lot 🥲
@@toddjohnson271 why is her attraction to him relevant
Me too
I cried this whole video . The man and the young person with purple hair touched me the most . We all need human connection . If we could truly see past our human vessels and connect with our mind and hearts , the world would be much more balanced 💚
Well said 💛
AGREE
agreed man
Don't go crying a river!!!
@@mercy6549 pretty sure that's a woman... But whatever...
Alex and his gf need to get back together. If you are sitting there together, knowing you love each other, but remain broken up, I feel like that is ridiculous. We don't know their situation, but love needs to prevail more than any other thought process, especially in today's age.
hearing Krista’s insecurity brought me back to the beginning of the video & when i saw her my first thought she was so beautiful. as women we’re so hard on ourselves about how we look, but we’re so much more than we think of ourselves. ❤
this was like a free therapy to everyone. wish we did this more often.
I wish that too
Too bad it’s not real. I wish it was but the truth is no one cries this easily, especially not to complete strangers, especially not men and especially not in front of a camera. I suspect most of this is acting.
@@honkhonk5181 it’s not lmao jus bc they’re strangers dosn’t mean they can’t cry as easily an yes men alot of men cry this easily especially after bottling up their emotions or going through alot of trauma
Word!
@@honkhonk5181 Yup totally men can't cry at all because they obviously, this was very obviously a REAL reaction from someone who's been through sh*t in my life, i can tell the difference.
its beautiful how a heartfelt conversation can easily be held with a stranger which most of the close ones don't know about
true
Humans are silly like that, I wonder what we’d be like with no ego
@@t3rror5am I get what you're saying but having an ego is a good thing, it's what makes you who you are. It's only when you let it get out of hand that makes it turn really bad.
@@laylonlee229 that’s your super ego, there’s the id, the ego and the super ego, fascinating reads on it, highly recommended
Its much easier in a way. Because deep down if you were to have these convos with someone you value theres always a risk of change. Perhaps in the way they view you. Perhaps its a change for the better or the worse. The closer someone is to you, the more impactful their reaction. Some people are just not equipped to deal with it the right way. I have a close friend who freaks out when I cry and get vulnerable. That in turn made me feel even worse. This isnt to say shes a bad person. Shes just socially inept. Conversely I can handle her break downs no problem. When its a stranger though its someone who you frankly dont give a shit about. Sounds harsh but thats actually reassuring. It means letting it all out without fear of losing someone major for it. And in a way gives you perspective as their experiences, while different, may provide a random puzzle piece for life to consider as opposed to working with the same exact piece you've always known from your circle.
Of course you wont be finding individuals like this in Omeagle or something but if you happen to come across a friendly stranger outside and neither of you are busy. Dont be afraid to get real. Not SSN real but real.
I love the “how are you doing, really?” I loved that the first two pairs started up the conversation with giving each other space to be open and honest with the other person, and themselves. Talked about the deep stuff, worked through their emotions together, and gave space to breathe with less heavy topics at times. I love this.
This was the most sincere and emotional video I think I've watched on UA-cam. Imagine if every meeting between people were anything like this, what a world we could live in.
This reminds me of when I met my husband. We met at a 2 day long class about getting in touch with our inner emotions. We spent 2 entire days telling one another our deepest feelings, secrets, and dreams. We were completely open and safe with one another. We never parted again, it's been 14 years.
Wow oO
I envy you!!! What a Great way to meet your soulmate…
That's beautiful. Just goes to show how important being vulnerable is in a relationship.
Great
@@repa49 seriously!!
It shows how delicate some people really are. Opening up to strangers can sometimes be easier than opening up to friends and family. Anyone reading through the comments, if you're struggling and feel like there's no end to your sadness, please just talk to someone it can make the dark moments seem so much brighter. Take care and loads of love ❤
I really felt this.. You are so right..
Thanks
The last time I shared with a newer friend, something that was really hard, she used it to hurt me. It's hard to open up when people are hateful.
Hard to talk when there’s not many people in the world today willing to listen :(
♥️
I think the Pandemic really broke a lot of ppl. A lot of ppl are out of touch with not only themselves, but with others. I think its awesome that strangers open up to each other and just speak from the heart. A lot of us don't have anyone to talk to and it freaking sucks sometimes! Super awesome video, and the one lady that didn't like the way she looks....I think she looks awesome. Society has really screwed with ppl and what they should look like. 🔥🔥video! I really enjoyed the other video about "what have you come to terms with"!
This is the second time I've watched this and I'm crying again. I love everyone's vulnerability and how they all comfort eachother.
It’s crazy how more genuine it is to have a conversation with someone without seeing them
Cuz they somehow feel like talking to themselves, there is no face expression, no body language, no judgment just talking to yourself somehow
It's cuz most people are judgemental, insecure and weak minded and rather than facing those issues head on they shy away from genuine human interaction because they don't want to chance hurting themselves, feeling lesser than the other person, or being punked. That or they look down on others regardless
@@bumblebeeman2103 Hello. I am “most people” and I hate it. It’s very isolating. You speak the hard to swallow truth. I am working on changing.
when he said, "I can't articulate the words in my head can't come out" I felt that personally. It's my biggest insecurity.
We are the smartest ♥️
Journaling will help you with that. If you write daily, you'll begin to learn how to process your thoughts one word at a time. It really makes a big difference.
Dam same tbh tbh was crying about 40 min ago cause stuff in life going through and came across this video I guess even if u feel like your alone feeling this way you really aren’t so many men and women are dealing with depression too dam life hard for me rn but watching videos like this and other stuff make me wanna keep trying do be better person and succeed in life.
Exactly I felt I could completely relate to him. Angel better stop playing he loves her, clearly.
I recommend watching and listening to people who are insanely articulate and use extensive vocabularies BUT are still able to break complex concepts down into smaller parts and enable others to understand what's being said with ease.
I've always struggled to articulate my thoughts and I'm definitely not perfect now but I'm light years away away from where I used to be. Watching those types of people and using google a lot to understand turns of phrase and definitions made such an impact for over time that it's difficult to (ironically) do it justice with words.
never has a youtube video made me cry like this!! people becoming vulnerable and truly talking about feelings, things they like, insecurities and becoming emotional just makes my heart wrench in a good but also bad way. i wish the best for these people, and i just respect them so so much
This is a absolutely terrific thing you are doing. Please don't stop. Seeing this changes people and humbles us
I started bawling as soon as the first guy opened up about his struggles. He's so full of love for life and humanity and doesn't seem to have anywhere to put it all, like his heart is so big he has trouble containing it. My co-workers called me zapoteca, it was so good to hear him say that. When he talked about his mom passing, that song and his love for music, it ripped me apart...I just wish I could hug him. She was the "perfect stranger" for him, huge beautiful heart too. This was great, thank you.
Krista doesn't like how she looks but she's actually really pretty and was so sweet listening to Alex. She seems like a really amazing person
RIGHT!!??!! She is definitely special. She held back her own tears so she could be strong and supportive. Alex, your perpetual smile is wonderful. Angel let go of a good one 🥰
my eyes were fixated i thought she was so pretty!
She is beatiful and a really sweet person too
The lack of mask-wearing shows she has a brain in her head as well
Very beautiful. She looks like Billie Eilish ❤️
I love this, its deep and meaningful experiences. It's a glimpse into the pain a lot of us all hide behind/hide from others.
What a beautiful idea to have 2 people get to know each other this way. It was so moving that I subscribed so I can be reminded to watch more of your channel. Heartfelt admiration for you bringing this much-needed interaction among human beings.
The girl who said she doesn't like the way she looks, I was thinking how pretty and friendly she looked before she said that. It's too bad we are so hard on ourselves.
This is beautiful. If everyone could do this once a day, the world would be a much better place.
They can't because people are different
@@tossacointoyourwitcherOriginal you mean like these strangers who are different 🤔
@@tossacointoyourwitcherOriginal They choose not too
I agree😭
I agree!!!
I have never came across your channel or these videos before. This one just autoplayed and wow. The way that watching strangers interact on such a meaningful and genuine level is truly so beautiful and emotional. I don't even know how or why, but I really cried watching this.. Just something about this format really unlocks some deep feelings.. I especially loved Karen's reactions to everything. She had me laughing and crying. She seems like the sweetest person and reminds me of friends and loved ones in my own life. 💕 And Casey also really blew me away. What a wonderful human. And listening to Alex talk about what he and Angel were going through really cut deep. They were in such a specific moment in time in their relationship that is so raw and uncertain....watching and listening to him being so vulnerable was beautiful and heartbreaking. I wish everyone in this video the best and thank them for the gem of shared humanity they have brought to my day, so unexpectedly. Will be giving you a sub. ❤️
Really interesting! The way this builds therapy and healing for expressing themselves without fear of rejection because it’s anonymous from the beginning is pretty powerful.
strangers being vulnerable with each other is such a wholesome thing. World would be a better place if we treated everyone with respect and dignity.
I love this. The purple hair girl and the shaved head guy were so wonderful and vulnerable. We need more conversations to connect us again.
Yessss ❤
Thank you for creating and sharing this. It’s videos and concepts like this that give people hope and can save people’s lives.
I know that most people who have seen this can identify with part of, if not all of what these good people are speaking of.
My older brother (who was also one of my best friends) just passed away a little over a year ago and it crushed me. This after so many other close friends and family members had passed away, naturally or to suicide. Coupled and tripled with suffering from severe depression over 20 + years , and a recent major spinal surgery that has left me with daily physical and mental pain, close friends and family no longer alive, it sometimes feels so hard, if not impossible to keep going.
There is a darkness that weighs infinitely heavy, enough that if it wasn’t without the support of friends and family and also seeing and experiencing beautiful videos like this that you’ve made, the fight might be lost.
For some of us, it feels as if our hearts will never heal, that we’ll never feel joy or happiness again. A lot of the times we feel completely alone in this world, but keep fighting, your life is worth so much more than you think, you are worth so much more than you think.
You must fight, your experiences while ranging from difficult to horrendous can inspire, and the fact that you are still here is a miracle, you are a miracle.
For those who identify with this video, please keep going and you will give hope to those who may feel completely alone.
Share your experiences with others and let them know you are there for them. Service to others helps to positively serve you as well.
Thank you again @thoraya for making this wonderful video, you have created something remarkable, that will both inspire and save lives, I promise you.
You have a gift, please keep sharing it with everyone, and take time to do something nice for yourself today, you unequivocally deserve many gifts of good karma. Thank you.
Watched this long time ago and watching it again today. Still crying like a baby. Thank you for your work & spreading the love, Thoraya. Keep it up 🙏❤️✨
The lady with purple hair has beautiful understanding empathetic eyes .
She has the ability to completely convey her thoughts and emotions through her eyes
I was thinking the same, her eyes just screamed comfort.
Its because she is wearing a mask and you can only see her eyes.
"I listen to that song to go back to that pain, just feel closer to that person again" omg, this articulates a feeling I've never been able to explain before. The vulnerability is so raw and beautiful. I hope all of these people find success and beauty in life.
Same here.. that made me cry
I've done that my whole life, and still do it. Some pain I choose to forget/let go of, but others, I want to hold onto to it for a little bit, because without it, I feel so lonely. Connection to that pain builds a bridge back to a specific time/place that I long to go back to, because there is so much regret there, and I want to fix things. I would wallow in that pain for hours/days in order to spend time with that person, even if they are not here. Pain/music can transport you to a moment, and it can help you heal; deal with things, and see things from a nee perspective. It can allow us to speak to someone who is no longer around. They can't hear us, but for us, it's like they are here, and we're able to get things off of our chest. It can be a form of therapy. ❤
“Grief is only love that’s got no place to go” - Stephen Wilson Jr.
This was so beautiful. I cried the whole way through. Love and many blessings to all these beautiful strangers who shared their gorgeous souls with us
They talked. They focused on listening to each other. No distractions. Listening to understand rather than reply.🙏🧡
Yup, that's too...
True this pandemic helps us to go through tough time and we realized talking and listening is still better than social media stuff, this situations proved if we just listen more not just basing on the look it really would make better life.
Jesus loves you🤍
The purple haired girl and the middle aged white dude had the most amazing chat. Its literally what kept me watching til the end. I love how real they are
I hope they became friends.
Same here , they should be friends
I have been crying infront of the monitor for 15 minutes. I really needed this. It's soothing to know you are not the alone in the struggle called life.
Love the concept of this video!! Very heartwarming to hear strangers having deep conversations. The fact that they could not focus on social aspects such as "how do I look to them when telling this?" must have been a relief that let their focus go on their thoughts and emotions instead, thus creating beautiful interactions!
It’s sad to see a grown man break down from such a question like “How are you doing, really?” Really does hit you when you think deep about it but the reaction can always be different between people but you never know unless you ask our bond with someone co-worker, friend, family. You could end up changing someone’s perspective on life or even give them hope by simply talking to them and letting them open up helps a person so much mentally.
There's a man busting his balls to keep it together likely for his family and no one asking him ever if he's OK. It's draining. Absolutely draining.
That question hits hard when the answer “ok/fine” feels like the worlds biggest lie, almost like it refuses to roll off the tongue.
When asked how are you by a complete stranger. You don’t have that barrier up. There is no reason to be strong for someone you don’t know.
but i dont even know what theyre talking about
Well, no one ever asks men how we're really doing. If we gave an honest answer... There'd be a lot of us who would cry. Society doesn't want to hear how men feel. It's sad.
This is a beautiful idea and shows how humanity is really going through it and to see strangers open up emotionally is awesome and so healing. 💗
They always say talking to strangers really help put things into perspective. I love how they allowed themselves to be completely vulnerable, like needed therapy. Sometimes all we need is someone we can turn to, someone who will listen & someone to care. A little bit of patience, love, kindness, compassion & support. I didn’t think I’d have tears in my eyes when watching but they fell. It was truly amazing to watch. Sometimes we lose touch with all the distractions in the real world & tend to my hard on ourselves that we lose touch & pull away from people etc. We tend to forget that there are many people out there going through the same things. I love how she brought people together & to give that other person reinsurance, hope, and to know no matter the struggles they are not alone. We all have flaws, & insecurities but we all are beautiful in our own unique way. I also love helping people anyway I can bc I know behind someone’s eyes, they could be someone who is struggling in silence etc You just never know what someone is going through and maybe a simple kind gesture could help make someone’s day. So it’s important to be humble, Be kind, not only to others but we have to be kind to ourselves. And lastly Always be authentic yourself bc no one in this world can compare to you. Btw I love that sweater as well as the msg “Be Kind”. I used to wear tie-dye clothes when I was a kid. I guess I’ve always loved rainbow🌈colours. 🥰🫶🏻🌈♥️
The first guy needed to cry so bad…he needed this interaction more than he realized. I hope he is doing ok. If you are reading this brother, you are a wonderful person. Stay tough and keep those feet to the earth 💪💪💪
Amen'
His grief is palpable.
Both those guys just made life harder on themselves by crying in public, on video.
@@wulfkriger3356 ohhh we got a nut job on our hands folks…
@@jakeweber2589 ignore reality at your own peril, doesn't affect me, son
This should be a form of therapy. To make friends and vent with no worries of telling someone you know your problems.
I did this, for me it was called day treatment. I went for the time that replaced all of school for about 4 months, we studied, talked together, became friends in the process, it was all people I had never met or seen before in my life and we all did therapy together as a group, ranging from 12-18 years old.
So true! I thought exactely the same!❤
In a way, therapy is like this. Oftentimes, you don't know your therapist. Then there is a type of bond that is created after you share with them.
It's called the internet.
Agreed!
Wow, what a fantastic idea. That shows how empathic, lovely and so connected we actually are as human beings. Thank you so much for showing that.
I really like these kinds of conversations a lot! I feel people base so much off of looks when first meeting someone that it hinders how and what they talk to them about. You taking the looks out of the equation really changes the whole thing, and its refreshing.
that guy that said he can’t express his ideas properly and that’s why he stays quiet, and that he’s happy he could hold a conversation without mumbling, stuttering, or losing his words hit me really hard. that’s exactly what it is for me, i didn’t know others had that too. funnily enough, i could never get people to understand what i meant when i tried to explain that i _can’t_ explain. hope you’re doing well man, i relate to you so hard
I watched this almost a year ago now and I remember after I watched that part I got so excited that I had to screen record it cause I’ve never related to something more. I hope we are able work on it and get better :)
I also relate on this. I have my moments, but I largely feel limited in my ability to connect through speech. I don’t know how to maintain a conversation past the basic things.
Its a personnailty trait to interiorize your reflexions or ideas or emotions and not being able to express them clearly in words. Introverted stuff to make it simple. I feel the same.
I’m reading a book on dyslexia and I’m not say you all have it .
I can be a trait of that according to the Doctor /author
@@danielirvine7468 that’s really interesting actually!! ive actually heard mine can be that! my doctor has said it could also be because im smart (which i disagree, but whatever the doctor says i guess??) and my brain moves fast, and/or because i have adhd. ive heard it’s similar to having bad handwriting in that your brain can move too fast for your mouth, leading to stumbling along your words, leaving stuff out, switching the beginnings of words with others, etc. so i would say in this comment section we’re all geniuses until proven otherwise lmao
My heart aches for the white man with the Spanish girl. He's really going through something huge.
You're not alone brother, you keep your head up and keep breathing every breath because you can
I loved watching this. Genuinely touched my heart. We’re all going through something in our lives that no one knows. Just to have someone listen to you, that knows nothing about you, can make a difference. ❤ Great video 🤙🤙
Thoraya you're something else, girl. These interactions you encourage, are powerful. I absolute adore you. And a special hug (i'm crying) to Casey & Karen... that was from the heart ❤️
To the woman who talked with the man who drew I love you on his love's back: I am struck by your beauty the whole time watching you talk. You look like such a loving woman, radiant from within. I hope you can feel your confidence in your beauty grow. You really shine to me!
So sweet and it's true!
This is the authentic connection between people, raw, organic, heart to heart, no pretending... just free and pure human to human communication! Let us practice it daily and grow in what makes us extraordinary human beings. Thank you for making this video xx
Very organic, I love it! ✨
“Bald man” and “purple hair” are beautiful. I come back to this video again and again because of the two of them.
Just beautiful. As all your videos are. A reminder of how much we all have in common and how we often don’t have real conversations even with those closest to us. ❤
I’ve been a fan of Thoraya’s channel for about 3 years now, and THIS has to be one of the best videos she’s ever made. It was so touching. Keep up the good work!
So true
Her channel is so relatable so humanizing we don't get enough of this in the world
I cried in the first 30 seconds with the conversation with that man and purple haired girl. Sometimes we meet people that we connect to instantly - and our society focuses too much on romantic relationships. Sometimes it’s simply amazing to make a friend when you least expected it. And that is BEAUTIFUL because it gives you faith back in humanity, makes you feel a little less alone and reminds you that the only way through is together.
I can relate to that guy who said he can't articulate his ideas into words most of the time.. like right now I'm so emotional about this video and these people that I can't explain.
Ya me too
Me too friend 🥲🥲🥲
This channel is MAGIC. Thank you for doing and sharing this work, Thoraya🙏🏻
it's nice to see other people going through things you are going through, makes you feel you are not the only one on earth who feels depressed and suicidal.
and this setting is nice because not havng to face other people you feel no judgement.
eyes are the door to our soul and you feel judgement through them so back to back is a great way to have people open up and let off some steam.
Alex's face change at 7:23 when Krista compliments his insecurity was so beautiful. Ill never forget how his face just lit up, him catching his breath and that smile!!! It was exactly what he needed to hear!
Always be nice, you never know what is going on in someones life xxx
And Krista herself.... Just before she said about her insecurity, I thought how beautiful she was. And then she said, she didn't think she was beautiful. My chin dropped. Like - whaaat??
@@indrajukame Me too. She is quite a lovely lady.
Most of this has to be staged. Nobody opens up so easily with layers upon layers upon layers of baggage to break through. Especially not to complete strangers.
@@honkhonk5181 honestly it depends on the person cause I find it easier to cry and actually talk about my feelings to strangers rather than people in my life because I don’t want the people in my life to worry or feel sorry and I know that I probably won’t see that stranger again
@@honkhonk5181 idk i think the anonymity really helps with the confidence to vent
It amazes me how many people we walk by in a day, not even thinking about what they’re dealing with in there life. Its almost like you forget your not the main character. Its crazy to think that every single person you see has there own unique story.
Really like this comment Jelly-y**. Hope you have a great day! One love.
I remember that I have been thinking about this since I can remember. Since I was a kid I have always been fascinated by the fact that every person that I come across has their own unique experience. For some reason the idea of talking deeply and openly to people about their own experience about life excites me. I love this comment and the video.
True I believe we each have a story to tell but in reality we all have are own little world going on in our heads that we follow through daily that we neglect the bigger picture in life. That it’s not about us. It’s all about Jesus. It is written whoever believes in the truth believes in the one who is holy and his reign forevermore. His name is, “I am that I am” it’s all about Jesus let us start by being honest with ourselves and really think about putting God first then all things will be added onto you.
When the question pops up, how do you deal with an upset guest? The first thing I always say and try to live by is, you do not know what is going on in their life. Once you look at things through that lens, forgiving people becomes simple. You don't know why they're angry. They're coping but all we see is the negative side. That negativity is pouring out of something they love not something they hate. We are fragile. Don't forget that.
💯💯
You alway feel better talking to strangers about your problems, non judgemental! I hope these guys stayed in touch ... they have a lot more in common than they think.
WE ALL NEED THIS!!!!! This is therapy
Now I'm diving into your videos and mist have watched over a dozen shorts and 5 regular videos, your channel is amazing!
I'm so glad you create content on You Tube! ❤️
Eye contact can be endearing but it can also be intimidating. This is a really cool way to meet people. What a cool social experience. 😊😌
Yeah and you can notice that when they turn to face each other. They kinda freeze and feel a bit awkward with each other
Not just that but as humans we always judge people for their looks. Even if you don't mean to do it, it just innately occurs. It's what keeps us safe from non friendly people but it's also what keeps us from making deep connections with others who struggle just the same no matter the race, age, or gender.
