- Typically when I go out and film an episode I'll try to think of my own answer to the question! I thought it would be really cool trying to answer this specific question because I've met almost 50,000 at this point- I was sure that because of this I'd come up with an answer quickly. Turns out, it made it even harder… but I didn't want to give up so I kept filming and tried to think of my own answer in the process. Halfway into filming I saw a man sitting on a bench, he looked like a nice guy, he was probably in his 50s and seemed to just be sitting and enjoying the view. So I approached him and asked if he wanted to be a part of a film project... he didn't respond and I thought he didn't hear me so i asked again... the next 30 seconds of our interaction is the reason why he is now my answer to this question. He looked up at me, not even for a second, put his head back down and started yelling out the meanest words I think anyone has ever said to me. I was so shocked and it made me so sad. I've been thinking back to that moment a lot trying to figure out why it left me feeling the way it did and I've come up with a few reasons: 1.) the guy was so sad and angry I can hear it so vividly in his voice- it was the perfect example of the saying "hurt people hurt people." he succeeded. 2.) I think i was just so shocked at how friendly he seemed but how unfriendly he was, I wasn't prepared. 3.) I realized that I've been doing this project for a year and a half and it was the first time someone was mean to me. At first I was sad at my 3rd reason because earlier that day I couldn't think of an answer to the question and out of all the kind people I had met it was now going to be this guy I'd remember the most. Then I realized something else and I now have my answer to this question: the most memorable person for me is a guy who made me realize that I've meet 50,000 people and ONLY 1 of them has made me sad. I love you all, and thank you for watching another episode.

Imagine being one of the mentioned "strangers" and watching this video. That would be a total trip yo
I was the 666th like, you're welcome
@T Dirty That's crazy I've never thought of it like that lol
T Dirty which one are you ?
Tye Renee it was joke
When I was in Rome this past spring, my sister and I went to the Vatican. While we were in St. Peter’s Basilica, we stopped just to admire the inside and we were standing by the wall. Then suddenly this guy came up to me and said “I just have to tell you, I think you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in the whole world.” We had a lovely conversation for a while and we exchanged contact information but I gave him my number I got abroad so there was no way for us to contact each other. I forgot his name but to the wonderful boy from Germany, thank you so much for everything you said.
the guy refused 100 dollars just to avoid a conversation if that's not a mood
When??
edits vibes 9:27
It's a fucking shit thing to do in this situation imo. That guy was clearly lonely and desperate for some company and even though having a conversation with a stranger is sometimes hard and anxiety inducing he could've just helped without taking the money
@@itslilibabes I mean I see what you're saying but you dont really know what he was going through either... more than one person a day can have a hard time lol dude might have been having some problems himself and was 2tired 2care 🤷♀️
@@ema9367 well whenever i cant come because i "have other plans"
A homeless guy thought I was homeless and wanted to give me his blanket. Possibly the only thing he owned in the world.
I'll never forget that.
This gives me a reason to not give up on humanity
@@ThisIsSomeoneFr In hindsight it's also possible he wanted to sleep with me, but I like to think kindness had more to do with it.
I was crying at church and a man was walking by. He came up to me and got down to my level and began to say nice things and it'll be okay. Then he said he has short term memory loss (like two to three mintues) and have never really felt sad like you are now. He said by the time I get down those stairs I will have forgotten you, but I hope you remember what I'm saying now, and he smiled and walked away.
💚
He might have been a angel coming to you in that moment !!
holy shit
woah
this is the saddest thing i’ve heard all day
I was singing Hamilton in public. I went, "Angelica... Eliza..." And this dude walking by, very softly sang, "-And Peggy."
as he should
iconic omg
honestly that is so beautiful 🥺
Lol, so iconic
I love this!
I worked at a Starbucks, and a woman comes up in line during a morning rush. I greeted her, and she looked at me, really looked at me, and said “you have a beautiful face.” Being a man who was born looking different than most, this woman told me something I had rarely heard from anyone, let alone a stranger. For 15 years, I’ve a had a little more self love. Thank you stranger.
💖
Ahhhh I love your name 😁
Nice man..😊👍
❤💚💕💙💛🧡💖
I dont need to know what you look like to know you have a beautiful face! 💖
I had just lost my mom. I was a wreck waiting at a bus stop. This man approached me. He was smoking a blunt and offered a toke. I told him what I was experiencing while crying. He put his arm around me and said this quote that always stuck with me: "Every loved one we lose in our life lives through us. It's up to us to live our best life for them". To this day I always think of that man and I live my life to the fullest. Thank you stranger, I hope you're doing well.
I'm going to keep that quote
@@xestyxerion7535 do it. I have a more positive outlook on life because of it.
that’s so sweet
Hay bro, sorry for your loss. There is a poem I love which I wanted to share with you, and it goes
" Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. For those who love with their heart and soul, there is no such thing as separation"
(Rumi)
That’s so beautiful man wtf😢And he gave u a blunt? Blessed man I hope he’s doing good
My stranger that I’ll never forget is someone that I never actually met. When I was a kid, my mom and I would always go to this gas station after school and there was this dog stuffed animal sitting by the checkout. Every time I saw it I would ask my mom if I could have it and she would always say no. One day we went in there and I asked my mom for it again and the cashier handed me the dog and said “it’s yours”. He said a bus driver named Rory bought it for me because he happened to be in the gas station at the same time as my mom and I a few times and he overheard me asking for the dog. I named the dog Rory and I still have him to this day 🥺
That's simply so beautiful.
Wholesome
i wanna know if I’m someone’s “stranger”.
Same🥺
@Manuel Moreno and you will be mine.
Omg same 🥺..
Same too!

Why does that remind me of in Tangled when Flynn Rider/Eugene is about to die and he's like "you were my new dream" to Rapunzel and then Rapunzel's like "and you were mine" what's wrong with my brain wha-
When I was working for McDonald's at 17 a man used to come thru the drive thru every day, he always asked me how my day was going, and he always followed up with. "Take a deep breath, this is NOT going to last forever, its temporary, hang in there, one day you will be successful" i struggled majorly with suicide at the time. And i can honestly say this man saved my life multiple times. I'm currently in banking, and continuing to move up. Thanks bro.
Konkon soy omg hess sooo nice !
that’s amazing man :)))
rainbow povs Somethings that just needed to be said ... >>> ua-cam.com/video/kBisi4TaZZA/v-deo.html
Konkon soy wow I want to be this guy
This is wonderful to hear. Minimum wage customer-facing gigs are awful... it's hard work to just detach from it when you get home! I wish everyone could progress up the ranks in those jobs, too... but it's a dead end :( What a great guy for recognising your struggle.
I was running my first marathon, and I was at mile 24 (almost done). I literally felt like I was running alone because I did not have anyone cheering for me during the race or waiting for me at the finish line, and I began to cry. There was an older man sitting at the bus stop, and he yelled at me "You got this! Keep going! You are so strong!" in Spanish. I just looked at him, and smiled, he was my angel when I wanted to fall apart. When I run past that bus stop, I always smile.
I love this SO much!!! ❤❤❤ I’m proud of you, too… for everything you accomplish.
Oh I loved this story. I wish we all had a cheerleader in our lives sometimes
Wow your so amazing to run that long!! I want to be like that someday 💪
I've read a lot of comments, but I think yours was the best
I have just spent hours reading comments. Sometimes crying so hard.......proud,even as strangers, we love each other .....take care of each other.
Me too. I think we all really just want to love and show love. Things just get messy along the way. These comments remind me of a person's true nature: soft, kind, scared, and precious.
I cried reading some of them... and I'm crying again reading both the original comment and the reply....
lol got me more emotional
@@moonhajung6742 right
lovely comment thank you
Couple years back when dabbing was still relevant I dabbed at someone who was driving and they dabbed back at me.
Damn that's deep man
I remember these kids a couple years ago..
They were in a school bus...they started dabbing...and then I dabbed back...they looked proud af
@@user-re6rf6hz4g ahahah
Dab was never relevant
Kandres TQ hate to break it to you, but at one time it was.
A homeless man in a wheelchair knocked on my van window. Most people ignore these types. He wanted money for food or anything. I told him to come with me to the resteraunt on the other side of the parking lot and I would get him some food.
I bought him enough food for 6 people. From the conversation on the way it sounded like he also had some hungry friends as well. Before I left I gave him a hug.
He stopped and looked at me as if that was the most loving thing he has ever received. I'll never forget the look in his eyes. He was more happy to be treated like a human being than he was about the food to nourish his body. People forget to be humans these days. I'll never forget his eyes.
❤ feeding body and soul. Much love and gratitude for humans like you. May you be rewarded with kindness in return.
and im pretty sure he'll never forget about u.
You an amazing human you know that?
you, my friend is an angel for the person
Awwwww that’s so sweet!
I was physically abused as a child so I grew up very tough. I always saw women around me and felt like they were so feminine and I wasn't. One day I ran into this old man who looked at me and said you are such a lady, there's not many ladies in this world anymore. I'll never forget that because I thought that my femininity was taken from me and that day I learned that it wasn't
Awwww. Never forget that you are just as much a women as any other girl. Doesn't matter what you've been through :)
They can never take your heart. I've learned that that's where we truly are.
My three year old son was going to undergo an 8 hour surgery at Children's Hospital in Philadelphia. I was brave until he went into the OR without me. I left my husband standing in the hallway and locked myself in a stall in the ladies room and just CRIED out my fears to God. I'm sure most of my prayer was unintelligible, but there was a lot of "please don't let him die" "please don't let him be brain damaged" "I'm not strong enough to lose him" kind of praying going on for about 10 minutes. I used a bunch of toilet paper blowing my nose and wiping my face, and I thought I had it together when I unlocked the stall door. And there, sitting on the sink was a woman. She had about 3 inch florescent orange finger nails, a LOT of braids, a tattoo on her neck and she was wearing skin tight jeans and a leopard print top that left little to the imagination. I was positively mortified that she had heard my intimate prayers and sobbing to God. But she taught me an incredible gift. She said "Honey, that boy's goin to be just fine. You don't need to worry about him any more." She got down off the sink and gave me an all enveloping hug and said " Now no more crying ok?" To say I was dumbstruck would be an understatement. She pointed to the door and I mumbled a thank you. She nodded and I straightened my shoulders and walked out to see my husband leaning against the wall with his face in his hands. It was my turn to be the comforter and that woman's words were exactly what my husband needed to hear. In Hebrews chapter 13 there's a verse about hospitality that says that you should show kindness to strangers because you may be entertaining angels unaware. That beautiful woman showed me exactly what that verse looks like in person, although she was showing the kindness and I may have met an angel unaware. My son is 31 now and he is a strong, healthy and talented man. She was right. That boy was just fine.
😭 thank you for sharing this. So encouraging.
Praise Jesus!
Thank you Father for hearing this amazing momma! I’m so happy he is okay. 🙏🏽♥️
You're story made me cry. I love the way you described her. Goes to show that no matter how anyone looks. Angels can wear anything and look any way.
Oh my gosh, this one has me in tears! Such a beautiful story. Angels come in all forms. I love every bit of this and praise God your sweet boy was/is ok! ❤🙌🏼
When I was 14 years old I was walking home from school and an older man was following me. He kept trying to grab me, ask for my number, trying to be "cute" in his words. I was terrified. There was no one around. My phone was dead. I kept trying to think of what to do to get out of the situation but nothing came to mind. Just as he was trying to hold my hand, I saw this older woman outside, watering her plants. I lied, said she was my grandma, and pretended I lived there. I must've looked terrified because as soon as she saw me she played right along. Big hug, cup of lemonade, and fresh cookies were waiting for me as she sat me down on her porch. I will never forget the dirty look she gave that man and the sheer look of disappointment as he turned around and walked away. I don't remember her name or even which house it was but I will forever be grateful for her act of kindness. My worst fears would've come true if I'd never found her.
How are you now? All good?
@@goodlife1302 yeah! I'm 19 now and honestly, much worse has happened since then with men getting bolder the older I get. But I'll be forever grateful to that lady! Wish I could tell her thank you one more time.
I am sorry my friend that you had to face much more worse things than that. But you don't worry. Never be afraid of anyone. If you bravely look into their eyes, they will be scared. Secondly, you can carry some sort of pepper spray or even learn some basic martial arts moves( it's just my suggestion). Sorry that girls have to face so much. Take care my friend. Have a nice day
This made me cry! Thank you for sharing this, its good to know ppl would do this!
Bless that lady for understanding what was happening
My mom was berating me in public. As per usually, no one in my family stepped in. After a few nonstop minutes of insulting me, I finally broke and a few tears slipped down my face. She scoffed and rolled her eyes before storming off. I went about comforting myself. Self hug, whispering, “You’re okay, you’re okay,” over and over.
Suddenly from behind me, a woman tapped me on the shoulder. I startled and turned around to see her holding out a tissue. I took it completely stunned and she looked at me with so much warm concern. She asked me if I was okay, and took my silence as an answer. “You’ll be okay one day.”
It suddenly hit me that if a stranger could see that something was wrong, then it wasn’t all in my head. That act of kindness changed everything. I’ll never forget it.
This happened to me once except it was my dad, and some guy yelled "man up bitch"
First sentence made me think you're Asian.
@@jeanwanchen1 all races have the ability to abuse a child and do. What a strange comment you made.
I Hope you're doing well
I'm sorry you had to go through this. It really sounds horrible. I hope sincerely that you are in a much better place now.
I’m 14, and when I was 12, I was on the beach in Florida with my parents. I was looking around for shells, and a young lady saw me, who was also collecting. She complimented my shells and gave me a few of hers. “I always carry around some extras to give to others.” She said. I remember her so well because I decided in that moment that I would grow up to be as inexplicably and unnecessarily kind as she was to me.
ok, you got me!
Someone calling you beautiful takes two seconds of their time but it could make you think about it for years
"one kind word can warm three winter months" Japanese proverb if I remember right.
My husband and I were walking with our tiny newborn. An elderly man came over to see the baby. He said " What a beautiful baby, with tears in his eyes. Then he looked at us and said " Enjoy him !"
@@diyworld1424 How is that creepy? He seemed to be remembering and felt sad that time is gone
@@diyworld1424 Enjoy that he's part of our lives. What is with your mind?
DIY WORLD shut up it’s beautiful
on one hand this is so sweet but on the other my twisted mind thinks when he said enjoy him it was like enjoy your meal
Something tells me that this man probably had his own child that died before him out of no where and that’s why he told you to enjoy the time you have with your kids.
A girl broke my heart. On my way home, I sat on a bank to cry. It was midnight in a not too safe area. While I was crying, two strangers stood by my side and started playing the trumpet. They never said anything to me but in the middle of that night, while I cried rejection and watched the sea, I felt like I had two guardian angels.
:'(
This is very touching!
Dan Del Carpio that is amazing I can’t believe people could be that kind
Okay I’m sorry this is very touching but I just think of two people going “TOOOOOOOOOOT” while you cry
Lady _ Cliffhanger I’m too high for this reply 😂🤣😂
A stranger I remember is Bridget. I met her In jail when I was 21. She had been there a while and she was 18. The sweetest girl I'd ever met. Absolutely a case of "in the wrong place at the wrong time". So listen, I was absolutely terrified to be in jail, never had been. Total shock for me. This girl took me under her wing. Explained what was okay and what was not. Didn't let anyone mess with me. She was amazing. I'll never forget how she made one of the darkest most loneliest times in my life feel less terrible. I told her I would write and I never did after I got out. By the time I got my life back together, I couldn't find her. I'm so sorry Bridget. You were a good friend to me and I abandoned you. I seriously think about you almost every day and I just... Am so dang sorry. I hope and pray you're alive and well. And out.
Maybe you should look for her information in the jail you both were or maybe the lawyer she had. I hope you find her !
I hope you will soon find each other again !
i was crossing the road with headphones in and music playing. i was suddenly grabbed and pulled back i turned to question whomever did when i feel this wind pressure on the side of my face. Facing forward all i see is this bus...
i will never forget that heart stopping moment when i realized i almost died. i made safely off the road and stood there for like 2 minuets before my brain was working again and my only thought was thanking the guy who pulled me back. so i ran to catch up with the guy with short black hair, white t-shirt and blue jeans. I could not find him i must have been in shock for longer than i thought. so whoever saved an idiot like me at Buchanan Glasgow in summer of 2011 if you're reading this, Thank you!
It was your Angel
I'm glad you're okay!
I hope you learnt your lesson.
@@chrissi975 Come on, grow up.

I was once taking a 6 hour train ride. I had my movies, snacks, books, I was so looking forward to sitting there and being in my own space for 6 hours. An old woman sat down next to me, and even though I was watching a movie and listening with my headphones in, but I could tell she wanted to talk. So I took my headphones off and turned to her and smiled. We talked, and laughed, and cried for the entire 6 hour ride. Her twin sister, who she lived within 5 minutes of for her entire 70 years, had just passed away. She was going to stay with some family to deal with the grief. She said when she got on the train she felt so alone and prayed for someone to talk to her. I guess that was me.
I'm glad you were there for her and was perceptive of her needs and kind.
this made me cry for some reason
Man you made me cry. Such a wholesome story, you did well
Awww that’s so cute and amazing at the same time
Love this
A woman saved me from killing myself. She pulled up the sidewalk where I was sitting and sobbing and about to run into the street when she just asked "Are you okay?" Saved my life.
Averie how are you now my friend? All good? Please tell me I am legit worried
Gautam Naik oh yes, I'm great now! Got help. Gets a lil rough sometimes but overall it's so much better than when it was.
That's very nice to hear Averie.Just want to say you that you are unique and a precious gift given by God to this world.So please never give up.Dont allow people or situation to control your life my friend.We all get life once.So don't waste it.Take care of yourself and be happy.Have a blessed future
rip x thanks a lot brother.I really appreciate it
Gautam Naik bruh this man thirsty
I was walking in a city many years ago. An old homeless man grabbed my arm as I walked past, he said something to me but I couldn't understand as it was a foreign language, he smiled and pointed upwards to a corner under the eaves of a small store. There was a swallows nest of mud and at that time 4 baby swallows peeked out chirping. He had so much pleasure to show me those baby birds I have never forgotten it.
I’ll always remember the Uber driver that I had who had a heart attack after my ride home, while I was getting out. He was an older guy, really nice. We talked about his daughter who just moved away for college, and about my experiences in community college and how I recently started at the university in my city. I remember how he encouraged me to finish college, and told me that he’d know I’d do great things. As I was getting out, I looked back to say goodbye and he was looking down. I remember it so vividly, because I asked him if he was okay, but when he looked up I could tell he was struggling to speak, like he was in pain. I remember him say “Help, My chest hurts.” And so I dropped everything, ran to the front seat, and pulled his keys out of the car, and called 911. The ambulance came quickly. But I remember just sitting their, afraid and powerless to help him. I didn’t know him, but I lost my mom to cancer. After they left all I could think about was his daughter, and how much it hurt to lose my mom. His car was in front of my house for 2 days before his wife came to get it, she dropped cookies off at my front door with a note saying that he was okay and thanking me for being there and getting help. I don’t know if he’s still alive today, but his legacy will live on his daughter, like my moms did in me.
Thank you
wonderful and beautiful. look out for others, worth more than a million dollars, that moment to him
I work in a restaurant.
This older couple would come in every Saturday for lunch.
The man would pull out her chair and open doors for her like a true gentleman while she patiently waited.
He had a walking frame so he struggled but insisted.
They would order a spaghetti bolognese and share it lady and the tramp style, gazing into each other's eyes. You could tell they really loved eachother
Then they would order a cheese cake and share it too.
One day he turned up alone, ordered the same but only ate half the spaghetti and wanted the cheesecake take away.
As I handed him his cheese cake I asked about his wife. He looked at me with tears in his eyes and said told me she was in a better place..
Really showed me to appreciate the people I have while I still have them.
This is so sad
I am crying right now😖
I can’t tell if ur lying because I’ve seen this story before, like when ppl react to sad stories and stuff
Omgg wow this is so touching
Why are my eyes getting watery😭
I remember one time I was walking with my girlfriend, and this man comes up to us and said something along the lines of “You two are so brave to be holding hands in public, I know a lot of people around here are mean and homophobic, so would you mind if I stay with you and protect you?” He walked all the way home with us, he was talking the whole time and telling us sweet stories. Then he told us he was gay and his boyfriend and him had been harassed multiple times, when someone saved them and walked with them, and he just wanted to do the same thing and help us. I’ll probably never forget his kindness.
That’s beautiful

I was so depressed my 5 year relationship with my ex ended. I had moved to another city and was starting over. I was in my late 20's. I sat in my apartment until i had had enough and decided to go get groceries as i needed to do something. As i started shopping i noticed an elderly man in my isle. He didn't have any groceries. He was looking at me and decided to approach and talk to me. At first i was a little weirded out and didn't understand why he wanted to talk to me a total stranger. He was just talking about something on the store shelf so didn't really seem like a threat. He said his name and asked mine. He went to shake my hand and hesitantly i shook his. As soon as he shook my hand he said something that i never forgot "oh yeah you are going to be just fine". There was no way he could of known that i was hurting. I didn't show it. But what i felt when he said this while shaking my hand was unreal. I never felt so convinced, reassured about the future in one moment as i did in that one. He politely said "well it was nice meeting you (then said my name)" and walked away. I was a little stunned by what i had felt. I looked around the store out of curiosity to see if he was still there and could not find him in any isle or any checkout line. It was as if he was just gone. I have my theory and maybe its just a thought to gives me comfort but nevertheless i never felt before what i felt in the moment he said what he said while shaking my hand. Thank you for letting me share my experience.
What a nice old man, what a nice story. Thank you
Underrated comment
an intense passing of two energies - i bet he also has a strong memorable feeling of this moment. You exchanged something that can't be contained or described.
Woah magical
it was a guardian angel. My mom had a twin brother growing up and he died in his twenties. a week after he had died a man came and knocked on her door and he just looked at my mom and said marty(my moms brother) is doing alright and hes looking over you. my mom couldnt believe what he just witnessed and went to go get her mom. when she came back to the door the man was gone and there was no trace of him.
It was the late 60's. My wife and I, aged mid to late twenties were waiting in line at the Oakland (CA) Symphony. We were dressed 'OK' but not like many of the people in line. A man approached us and asked if we were waiting to purchase tickets. We said yes. He said 'My wife is ill and cannot attend tonight. Please accept our tickets.' We didn't know him and we never saw him again. I will never forget this.
I used to work for Starbucks and I distinctly remember a homeless woman who came in to buy a coffee and she paid with this lil pile of coins that she held in her hand. She said jokingly that it was all she had but I got the impression it wasn't actually a joke. And then, she still tipped me some of those coins. I've had countless rich people pass through and never tip a cent but she had so little and still bothered to show appreciation like that. It's stuck with me ever since.
Drew Ransom that's usually how it goes
Some people deserve more than others smh that’s the way like goes sometimes
I don’t think she knows maths
That's like the story in the bible
Mark 12:41-44
"Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.
Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything-all she had to live on.”
Poor woman. I hope she's doing better.
When I was thirteen, I was walking around and eating with my earbuds in, and I noticed this guy kind of watching me and following me around. I thought it was a little weird, but probably just a coincidence, right? So I just kept doing my thing and made sure to stick to pretty populated areas, hoping he'd eventually leave.
About half an hour goes by of this and my sister texts me telling me I needed to come home so we could get ready for an event. The guy was still kind of following me, but I wasn't quite sure what to do. To get back to my house, I had to take some back roads that weren't very heavily trafficked, plus I didn't want this guy to follow me and know where I lived, so I walked inside to a restaurant to see if he was gonna follow me. Of course he did.
I opened the notes app on my phone and typed out, "This guy is following me" and took it to the Viet lady behind the counter. I called her Aunt May (the only aunt I could think of at the moment lol) and asked her if she changed her phone number because she wasn't answering my texts, showing her the phone with the note open.
That woman played along and took me behind the counter and let me out the back entrance. I wish I'd thanked her. That could have ended pretty badly.
Wow
What you think about the questions I got in my channel? thanks
QUICK THINKING! love that
Lol spider man's aunt
I mean, she did help, but she should have rang ur parents or brought u home or something
Cause the guy could have known you went out the back and followed u home
Glad ur ok tho♥️
i went to mexico and a little girl saw me walking down the street, she chased me and gave me a huge hug and told me i was beautiful and handed me a flower made of like leaves from a bush and it just felt so wholesome and genuine
That's wholesome !

Beautiful ❤ thanks for sharing.
I feel compelled to share. Thanks for listening. - I was around 10 years old, riding my bicycle down the industrial lane. The lane had been freshly graveled and coated in oil. I decided to ride my bike on the side of the road in the dirt. I stopped to take a break. It was summer and the ice cream truck came down the lane. A man in his 60's walked up to the ice cream truck, the truck pulled away and the man walked over to me, he had two fudge pops in his hand, and said, are you Ed B's son. I said, yes. Here son, this is for you, and he handed me a fudge pop. He said, I knew your Daddy, he was one of my best friends, he was such a good man, I miss him. I never knew my father, he died 6 months before I was born. The man's name was Orville and he owned the trucking company my father had worked for. Later that day at home I told my mother about it. She said, that was Orville, your daddy loved him. I never saw Orville again but I will never forget him. He was the first person to tell me anything, something, about my father.
my father died young too.
we rarely spoke of him afterwards, i guess it was just too painful.
every so often i'd meet a person like you did and it meant the world to me as well.
Last summer I was sitting in a corner, waiting a friend of mine. I was really sad because the guy I loved just said that he didn’t feel anything about me. A bee laid on me and I started panicking. A woman sent away the bee and said to me: “it thought you were a flower”.
I felt really better after this
luciapiff that’s SO CUTE 🥺❤️. You are a flower btw ✨.
Awwwwww that is adorable
🤣
I bursted into tears just reading this omg
I really dont know why but this made my cry. :)
I’ll never forget the person on the Suicide hotline who talked me down from the edge. We talked about Star Wars and how wise Yoda was and it made me laugh. I wish I remembered his name.
Thank you for helping me stay here.
❤️ Please remember that this is not your real home, you are just here getting experiences, just passing trough, and you will get home, but now you are supposed to enjoy and experience all the things you can, becouse in home, you cant, theres only peace and love ❤️ you are a soul, not this human body, its a gift to you, so you can experience planet earth ❤️
you are very loved and i’m glad you’re still here ❤️
I hope you are feeling better.
Hope your life's better now and that all in all you're in a better place.
I'm glad you still here. I hope you're feeling better now
One time I went to Trader Joe’s in a short sleeved dress after cutting myself a few days prior and the lady at the register who was checking me out was like “I’ll brb” and she came back and gave me a bouquet of flowers and told me I looked beautiful.
The world aren't perfect and so is us , everyone has their struggle and imperfection.
I know that some people feel ashamed because of their difference , thier looks , their hobby , their mind.
But is okay to be different , is okay to be yourself because no one is perfect.
Is okay to take time when going through something.
We all have different talent , different struggle and different experience. Even our experience aren't the same but that's okay , because we aren't meant to be the same. We are meant to be different and unique in our own ways.
Like Steven universe said : if every pork chop were perfect , we wouldn't have hot dog. ☺️
Live for yourself and be kind to yourself because when there are no one around , you still have yourself. Love yourself like the one you loved.
I don't know what you had gone through but I really hope you are doing okay now. Stay strong. ❤️
That’s so beautiful ❤ I’m so glad you got the love you needed. I’m glad you’re still here.
Back in about 1966 or so, probably 55 + years ago, I was going through a terrible time in a stressful marriage and I stopped at a store in Tacoma, Washington, with four little daughters. We were on our way to the zoo, and for some reason, we were all dressed up. I was at the top of an escalator and an older lady looked up and said "mother stop." Then she looked up at us and said "beautiful, just beautiful." I have never forgotten that. I'm sure she's been long gone and I am probably the age that she was at that time. I cannot remember that time without crying as it was a very low point in my life and I have never forgotten how she lifted me up. You never know how the teeniest and most insignificant moments in life will have a life long impact on you. God bless that old lady. I'm crying now.
Thank you for sharing your story. I hope you’re doing well
Your memory of that moment is equally as beautiful. I hope you and your daughters have fared well. 🤎
*one thing I hate is when you meet a stranger or someone on vacation and you connect with them so much and when you come home you never see or speak to them again, that's what makes me sad*
But it's the memory that makes it special. ❤️
I met this girl one year older than me in when I was 10. I was in South Carolina and we played to get her at the hotel water park for the whole trip. She lived in Michigan an hour away from my actual home ,but I never got her number and I never saw her again and now I’m 16😭😢
It's kinda sad but I think there will be people that you'll never meet again but you have some connection with them without actually being physically together. It's those small moments that changes people or makes an impact in our lives so I think it's may still be a good thing
People come and go... and sometimes come again, who knows? 😉
I was in love with a boy and I thought I never gonna see him again but i found him on instagram and I send him a message but he is already in love with a girl and my life was over but now I forgot him because I am in love with another really nice boy but he is in love with another girl too I know my life is sad 😣
Damn , makes me miss the girl that i had eye contact with for 3 seconds at the supermarket

Omg...deep😟

that's a HUGE mood tbh :')
@@SA-uy3xd Haha yeah those eye contacts are nice
I’m 30 years old and have always been somewhat insecure (though with a pretty good facade). I was walking to my corner gas station a week or so ago, and while passing a woman she looks up and declares “oh my god, you are SO handsome!”. I’ve never particularly felt that way about myself, but I knew it in her voice that it was genuine. I smiled like an idiot for literal hours after that. I dont know her name, I dont know where she lives, I can barely remember what she looks like, but I have heard her voice in my head every day since. Thank you, stranger, for helping a grown man find some confidence in himself.
I love that for you my dude
Awwwww❤
About a year ago while I was staying in Turkey I suddenly started feeling really ill. Like I couldn't stand up and felt like I would just pass out if I continued to walk. So the only thing I could do was to crouch on the street and wait till I got better and I remember so many people walking there but nobody cared to look at me and there was this syrian woman (probably a refugee, as she wasn't able to speak turkish and was probably a beggar) and she tried to ask me in arabic if I was ok and needed help.
Till this day I am ashamed that the people who reach out to you are mostly those who are the ones in need.
I'm Turkish and If I saw you I would probably try to help (If my parents wasn't there or if they gave me permission to talk because I'm still under 18)
@@aliosmandiyar7067 Permission to talk? What do you mean?
@@alaskaone well my parents won't just let me talk to strangers they think I would embarrass them and stuff maybe
@@aliosmandiyar7067 wtf dude that sucks. Your initial comment included it so nonchalantly - that's not a common Turkish thing is it?
@@alaskaone lol it's not and my parents don't even think about a bad thing they would just think that helping an adult can be suitable for them instead of me since I sometimes can act childish and embarrass myself and really can't do anything except just talking about it they are just worried because I've done that so many times
When I was 10 years old by dad was badly injured in Iraq, over 70% of his body had 3rd degree burns, so as a kid I spent a lot of time in the burn unit of the hospital just wandering around. One day what must have been a new injured soldier arrived and was wheeling around in a wheelchair just exploring the unit and I passed by him and just looked him in the eyes and smiled. He started crying and I was so scared because I thought I did something wrong but he just told me that I was the first kid that looked at him and wasn't scared. I really wanted to cry too but I just kept smiling and talking to him. I realized that day how much a simple smile can make a stranger feel less invisible and alone and I really carried that the rest of my life.
That is so emotional!!!
Just wow!
You are awesome
❤️
Please don't ever change.. World needs more people like you
I was 19 years old and at a crafts store with my friends. A good song came on. When no one was around, I started dancing to the beat. But I stopped when I saw this lady out of the corner of my eye. When she disappeared behind an aisle, I relaxed, but then she peeked her head out and said, “You should ALWAYS dance.” I smiled at her, and I never forgot that. She was so sincere and sweet :)
I actually have a story from yesterday. I was working as a ride operator at Cedar Point in Ohio. Excessively hot day, the workload we had was difficult and fast paced. I started to feel very sluggish and dizzy, like I was on the verge of passing out from the heat. Two oncoming riders who were waiting in line, these two middle aged black women, took it upon themselves to get out of line and get me some ice water to stave of me potentially landing myself in the hospital. I never got their names or anything, but being at a place where people are normally much more concerned with having fun rather than others, I don’t think I’ll ever forget their kindness.
There was this kid I saw on the bus. He was probably 16 years old and he had fresh cuts all over both of his arms (shoulder to wrist). I used to self harm so this really struck my heart. I saw him about to get off the bus. Although I was 2 bus stops away from my stop I decided last minute to get off the bus with him. The bus doors actually closed in my face but I looked to the front at the bus driver and he reopened the doors for me. I got off the bus and I nervously stood beside this kid. I had no idea what to say. Finally when I got the courage I said “are you ok?” He replied “yeah... um... what do you mean?” So I said “well I just saw your arms and I wanted to make sure you were ok. Are you doing ok?” He was so caught off guard. He said “Oh... well it’s just been a really hard week.” “Yeah, do you want to talk about it? I know you are probably waiting for your bus but do you want to come for a walk with me?” I asked. He said yes. So we went for a walk and I found out what was going on. He was in a group home because some problems with his mom but he really missed her. I encouraged him that someday things will get better for him and to hold on. I told him I used to cut myself too but things got better for me and now I’m in college and I’m doing what I want. We reached the end of the street and I told him that I believed in him and I promised things would get better for him. Then I asked him if I could give him a hug and he said yes. So I gave him a big hug and we went our separate ways. I’ve never seen him since but I still think of him all the time. I hope you’re ok kid ❤️❤️ someone is always thinking of you. You’ll always have a place in my heart.
One day you might see a story about you on here, written by him. Something tells me you're the stranger he'll always remember 😌
Bless you! I'm sure that he will be delighted for your kind words, comfort and how supportive you are
We need more heroes like you
Wow 👏👏👏👏👏👏

I was in high school. It was my junior year, and I was at one of the darkest points in my life. Contemplating suicide almost every day. I don’t know if I looked sad or what but no one in my family or friend group acknowledged it, but I just remember these two girls walking by and one of the girls looked at me and asked “can I give you a hug?” And I accepted. We hugged for a couple seconds and went out separate ways and I never saw her again. I’m not really a spiritual person but I believe that in that moment there was a higher power looking out for me.
It’s the one that created us, Allah 😊❤️

i was at a pride event in my relatively small, conservative town (it was a big deal, especially since the turnout was great). even though i should've been celebrating myself and the friends i was with, i was overwhelmingly insecure. i felt uncomfortable in the shirt i was wearing - i thought people around me were judging me for my weight. anyway, i was talking to my friend when this girl walked up. i couldn't tell exactly what she looked like (masks!), but she had gorgeous eye makeup on. she told me i was really pretty. she went out of her way to say that to me, and it made my day. i still think about this, especially since i've been complimented by strangers only a handful of times in my life. i cherish those compliments, because they always make me feel beautiful.
Eliza! You ARE beautiful!
It means a lot that those compliments actually mean stuff to other people. I am the type to randomly compliment someone on the street, just because I genuinely liked that thing about them, as well as the fact that I may have been the first person to tell them that, and it’s important that they know. One time I complimented presumabl non-binary person on their hair and they looked surprised and happy, and my friend said, ‘Hey, they look like that’s the first time they’ve ever heard that.’ And it brought me so much genuine joy and that’s why I keep doing it.
@@xx-nicogoblin-xx5455 I do the same thing lol. I know I internalize any compliments so I try to do the same for others.
I had a woman approach me in the grocery store the day before Thanksgiving. She said I looked exactly like her sister and started to cry... but she was smiling. She said her sister was murdered on Thanksgiving the year before and she thought she would never see her sister's face again... but she said, thanks to me, she was able to see her sister again. She hugged me and sobbed for at least 15 minutes and my daughter and I cried right along with her.... right in the middle of Kroger. She said she never got to say goodbye to her sister. I think seeing me gave her some closure. She is the stranger I will never forget. ❤

One stranger ill never forget is this old man i met in Philadelphia a few years ago. He was homeless and blind but talked enough to carry a conversation himself. I saw him on a street corner just outside the city, and kept seeing him there each day i went into the city. On the fourth time seeing him, i decided to ask him what he was doing, so i got off my bike and talked to him. He told me his name was Charles but to call him Charly. I asked him what he was doing on the corner so often and he told me that he was just enjoying the town. He told me he was homeless so i asked him if he wanted something to eat. He said yes so i got each of us a sandwich. When we finished eating, he got up and said thank you for the meal, and started walking away. I got up with my bike and followed after him because he was an older guy in his late 70s so i didnt want him tripping and falling on anything. When got closer, i saw he had a walking stick for the blind, so i kind of just put two and two together i walked with him and we started talking. I learned that he was a Vietnam veteran and that he lost his sight while fighting. I learned about his daughter and son who he hadn't seen in 30 years, i learned about how he became homeless, how he survived on the streets, and so so much more. By the end of our walk, we had gone roughly 11 miles and it had been 4 and a half hours. We stopped at a somewhat busy sidewalk and he just sat down and started whistling, taking breaks every minute or so, with each break lasting about a minute. Another stranger came up to us and asked if we were homeless, to which i replied i am not but this other man is. This person was a women who looked to be about my age (i was 16 at the time) and she sat down next to us. After about a minute of silence, Charly said out of the blue "you two get along now" and then started whistling again. So thats what he did. I learned the girls name and were still good friends to this day. About 6 months ago i stopped seeing Charly at his normal spot, and layer found out that he died of cancer. Turns out his name wasnt Charles, it was Bennett. Ill never forgot him. He taught me that while some people may be, in his own words, "ugly bast**ds on the outside, when you take time to talk to someone, you see a whole different side to them. In my case, that other side smells like sh** and cant get a girl." Me and the girl, whos name she asked me not to mention, are going to visit where were told his grave is soon and we plan to have a drink with him. (He told me his favourite drinks are coca cola and whiskey)
amen to u brother
Sometimes an animal is your memorable stranger.
I was in my final year of uni in Cardiff, my girlfriend had left me, I was stressed about exams and feeling unwanted and lonely. I went for a run in Bute Park and on the far side of the River Taff where it was quiet I sat down. Suddenly a cat came up to me, so full of affection and for quite a while we made a big fuss of each other, enjoyed each others company then sat quietly like the best of friends. I felt loved and appreciated and my feeling of being unwanted disappeared. It's not the only time an animal has been my wonderful stranger and I thought animals deserved a mention amongst all these inspiring comments.
Sending love to each and every person who reads this 💕
Never usually comment on you tube at all but had to share this story...
when I was a cashier I was serving a customer who had the biggest smile on her face so I said "hello, you look happy today"
She smiled at me and nodded then said "I haven't told a single soul this yet but I just came out of the hospital"
And I said "oh are you okay?"
And she said "Im cancer free"
I was so shocked.
I was the first person she told, her husband didn't even know yet.
I hope she is living a long and happy life 😌
lola martin wow that is beautiful
Awwwe
that is a really nice story ❤
How long back was this?
I love this story.
when I was 7, my mom took me to Sam's club to sell some school fundraiser candy. She just told me to sell it and left. I was too shy to talk to anyone and I made a sign so that I wouldn't have to. A man came up to me and helped me approach people. He stayed with me for maybe 10 minutes but he gave me more positive attention than anyone in my life had at that point (I had a shitty childhood) . That interaction gave me hope for years. I used to dream he was my dad and he'd come back to rescue me when things would get rough at home.
i love this 🥰
You made me cry, this is so beautiful. I would also pretend other people were my parents. I do love mine with all my heart, it was just rough!!!!
@@irenem5 same💜I love my parents. every parent does the best they can with the emotional tools they were given so there are no hard feelings but I get it being so rough. I'm sorry you had it rough too and that I made you cry but I'm glad you liked my story💜💜be safe
What kind of mother leaves her 7 year old daughter to fend for herself? she should have stayed with you to teach you social skills, how to sell these candy bars, 12 years old maybe but 7!!! You were 6 not too long ago..plus someone could have snatched you up real quick.

How do you know you aren't? How could you possible know what a beautiful impact you had on someone?
I was helping a customer at my job just being myself and he kinda stopped suddenly in his tracks almost and said to me “ you have such a pure soul” and looked me dead in the eyes as he said it… I always think of this moment because to me he’s one of the only people who I feel have TRULY seen me.
42 and 55. two numbers I have been seeing everywhere recently. thank u marissa. you indeed are pure. love and great numerical magic to you dear
A really old man came over to talk to me when I was about 21, on a break from work (I have always worn 1940s clothes/hair style since I was in my late teens) he was so sweet and apologized for interrupting my break but he had tears in his eyes and he said I reminded him so much of his girl. That she always wore her hair the way I was. He'd been in love with a girl during the war and she'd been killed in a air raid while he was away in the navy and they never got a chance to get married. He stood, while I had my smoke break and told me all about her. He'd never married anyone else because she was it for him. He was so happy talking about her, I'll never forget him. I have no doubt he will have passed now so they'll be together again. Such a lovely man.
wow
Amazing.

That's so sweet. And it's rare seeing people dressing like that nowadays, would you happen to have an instagram?

Year ago I was at the grocery store... this little girl, couldn't have been 8... came up to me, stopped in the middle of the isle, stared me right in the face and said. "You are REALLY pretty!" Then she took off.

Awww when I was a dorky teen I had a kid say that to me on a hike. I was like WHAT?!?! Ground breaking news to me 😂
This is such a neat topic. Here's my stranger story. It was about 1980, I was about 25 years old. It was getting dark. I had a flat tire, and was in the process of changing it in a church parking lot. No problem, I knew how, but I was struggling with lifting the tire up onto the wheel, it was a big heavy tire. Out of nowhere, a guy pulls over, lifts the tire onto the wheel, and takes off. I didn't even see his face, all I know is that he was wearing a business suit and was in a big hurry, but still took a moment to help me.
I remember when I was about 13 years old, I was in the lunch line at school. A couple of boys in front of me were teasing me and picking on me. And there was this one girl who was passing us. She noticed what the boys were doing and saying and she told them off. She was the only one who really stood up for me like that. And I was picked on a lot growing up. I didn’t know her name or anything. It really meant a lot to me. She seemed so strong. And I felt saved.
Two days after my father's funeral, I was sitting in the middle seat of an airplane on the way home... completely devastated. As tears silently streamed down my face, this man next to me rummaged through his bag to hand me some lunch napkins. He sat silently for a minute before gently asking me if I lost someone. I said yes. He asked if I lost my father. I said yes. He asked if the hat I was cradling in my arms was his. I said yes. Was it cancer? I shook my head yes. It was odd... How well he could read me... how he seemed to just know. He sighed sadly and said "I am so sorry. You are too young to have lost him."
Several minutes later, he was scrolling through his phone and started to show me pictures. Of his beautiful family and dachshund puppies (which I also have and adore). His trip to California (places I recognized because I camped there with my dad as a kid). And then his pride and joy- his Harley Davidson. (THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AS MY FATHER'S.) There was something familiar about this stranger. His voice, his age, even his bushy mustache. He was so comforting. He even offered me his shoulder to rest on when I looked sleepy.
At the end of our flight, I grabbed my bag and thanked him so much. He wrapped me in his arms in a big bear hug and then paused for a moment before looking me in the eye. "It's gonna be okay. You're gonna be okay, sweetheart." He gave me the kindest smile and waved as I walked away.
That was 3 years ago and I think of him all the time. Life is chaos. We bounce around and collide with eachother without thinking twice. But I am convinced in this case... My path and his path were meant to meet. I needed this kind soul, who reminded me so much of my father, at that exact moment. I will always be forever grateful.
Be kind to one another. Appreciate one another. Love and peace to all.
You know what? I think you are one of the most wonderful person.You have a beautiful heart my friend.Indeed that person was like a father figure to you.You are an amazing person my friend.People around you would be lucky to have a person like you in their life.Lots of love and respect for you my friend.We have to lose our loved one's one day my friend.That's how life goes.I too lost my mother.So I can understand you.Nature plays it role my friend.We have to accept it.But our duty is to be happy and live the life until God calls us.So be happy and keep smiling.Have a nice day and blessed future my friend
❤❤❤
I don't know how to say this and you might not believe me, but I think it was your father.
Of course, it was coincident that man sit right next to you; but somehow your father did come back in that man to see you one last time to comfort you.
Some people, when they died, their spirits don't go right away, they stay back some days before they're forever gone.
I had experienced about that, (not exactly like your) when my grand aunt died last year.

I was going through a tough divorce & child custody 3.5 yrs ago. I went to grocery store & had been crying, this man walked right up to me & gave me a hug & said I was loved & he was praying for me.

When my brother and I were little, my dad went into a gas station and left us in the car. I think I was around 9 so he was 7. My dad drove a standard. My brother and I are playing around in the car, and one of us accidentally engaged the emergency break. We started rolling down a hill into what would have been oncoming city traffic. We started screaming. We didn’t know what to do as we were just kids. Even though it only took seconds, it felt like forever. A man with long hair, chains, and tattoos ran up along side of the car, reached through my open window, and pulled the ebrake up before we hit the curb. I’m 37 now, and I will never forget him. He more than likely saved our lives. He came and went very quickly. My dad didn’t even have a chance to thank him. Im very thankful for him.

A few years ago, I was going home after ending a very toxic relationship with a guy, I was holding my tears. I got on the bus, and the bus driver cracked a joke with me, which I followed, and I involuntary smiled and looked at him. He got serious and said "don't you ever let anyone change that smile". I'll never forget that moment. I still get emotional thinking about it.
Hey, I'm glad you're done with that guy. Toxic relationships should always be avoided. And please keep smiling!
beautiful
This Made me cry :')
For me it is the paramedic who NARCANed me. On our way to the hospital I was crying and she said, "I can tell you're a good person. It isn't too late to fix this. It's never too late". I have been sober for 3 and a half years since that day. I am forever grateful for her and her compassion.
I was having a really bad day, my car broke down and I had to have it towed. I ordered an Uber to take me home while my car was in the shop, I get in and it’s a older man that looked identical to my grandpa who passed away a few years before. I told him he looked so much like my grandpa and was holding it together until I uttered those words. Once the tears started flowing I couldn’t stop. He said “let it out baby girl, I’m here with you and every thing will be ok” I’m crying right now just typing this 😭

TheAverageWolfGamer I’m a “child” I guess. I’m 14 and I met the most amazing people on tiktok. We FaceTime everyday and maybe in a couple years we will meet each other. Strangers can be your best friends.
Don’t though
I meet many very interesting strangers on a very common basis, i'm a waitress, it's kind of my job to talk to people. The one that sticks out the most happened not too long ago. For background, I lost my grandfather in January, it was devistating to all of us. I'd been trying to pull myself together, fall apart and pick back up again. This day was a particularly hard day, and this older gentleman was in by himself eating. I wasn't even waiting on him. As he was starting to leave he looked at me and asked if I was my pap's granddaughter. I was really taken aback because I don't look like my grandpa, and I didn't have any linkage to him on me and he said to me "Oh man do I miss him, we used to get coffee at the gas station together sometimes" and he just went along his merry way. After a good old sob in the bathroom, I came out and asked what his name was (very small town things lmao). My mom had no clue who he was, my grandma didn't either, they were just buddies for coffee, and I really hope I get to see him again some day :)
This is such a beautiful video. ❤️ Had me crying the whole time.
It reminded me of meeting a stranger 2 years ago.
I was standing on the street in front of our house with my parents and my husband. It was dark outside and from down the street a woman comes walking toward us. She was carrying her purse but she didn’t have any shoes on and she was really flighty and anxious. I called out to her to ask if she was alright, if she needed help. She was so far in shock that she almost kept walking but I knew she was in trouble. My husband and I convinced her to come inside and she told us how she had been abused by her boyfriend. He had beat her, choked her till she passed out and locked her in their closet. She stayed with us for a while until her adult daughter was able to join her and encourage her to go to the police. The cops picked them both up at our doorstep to take her to safety and get a statement from her.
The experience taught me that you can’t just “stay out of someone else’s business”, all the time. She was afraid and alone and she needed someone to step in for her.
A few weeks later I saw her again when she came back to the neighborhood to get some of her belongings. She told me that her boyfriend had been arrested because of what she reported and she was in the process of pressing charges. I was so proud of her and so happy to see how much better she was doing. I’m so lucky to have known her.
And she's lucky to have known you! I'm pretty sure you're the strangers she remembers. Thank you so much!
When I was fifteen years old, I attempted suicide after being raped. I ended up in the emergency room the next morning, and while I was alone this nurse came and sat by me for hours. She must have been straight off of a night shift and had admitted me. She stuck with me, and told me it was okay to tell the doctors the truth, and that where I was going (inpatient care) wasn't that scary. She held my hands as I was put into a wheelchair to move units and told me that there was a whole beautiful world out there that needed to see my light, and that very light couldn't stay hidden forever. It's pretty incredible how clear my memory of her is considering all of the drugs in my system, and it's mostly the feeling of hope and tenderness she gave me.
That was about five years ago- I've traveled to seven new countries volunteering and sharing God's love after receiving it into my heart two years ago and am incredibly happy and loved. I've overcome so much and restored my health and faith in people and wish I could thank this nurse for sitting with me through my darkest hours.
Idky buh this comment made me tear up a bit.
wow that started off terrible! I'm so happy for you now that you're feeling better.
I rarely cry but this made me.
Tiege Hanley what? are you being serious?
Skyler Stark did it feel good tho
Once my best friends dad kicked me out of their house when he found out why I was staying with them (I had come out as gay and my mom didnt want me at home) so I went out in the rain to try and find my way to my grand dads house. I hadnt lived in the town for very long so I didnt know it very well but I figured it couldnt hurt to try. After about two hours I decided I was hopelessly lost and needed to go ask someone for directions. I was afraid because it wasnt a very safe town and I had never been in this sort of situation before. I picked a house with some childrens toys in the front yard, because I thought that if they had kids they might be willing to help someone else's kid out. I knocked on the door and I guess I didn't realize how upset I was, but when she looked at me, standing out there shaking, scared, in the rain and asked me what was wrong I started crying. As soon as I did the woman who had answered the door pulled me inside and wrapped me into a hug, wet clothes and all. She gave me tea and something to eat, and had me tell her what happened. She assured me it was all going to be okay, and when she made sure I would be safe and accepted there, she drove me to my grand dads. She skipped work to take care of me for that short hour. I got out of the car and she walked me to the door. When I opened it up she stopped me and asked if she could hug me. I told her yes and she did. I asked her why she let me in when she had a child in the house with her and she explained that she figured I was an angel, or that an angel must have sent me because we both needed help. her aunt died that week, which was the only reason she was in town. If i had come two hours earlier I would have knocked on an empty house, and she wouldnt have been able to feel like she did good. I dont know her name, I dont know where she's from, but she saved me, and I do know I'll never forget her. Thank you for reading my little story :)
people should not throw kids out on the street so I'm very glad she was there to help you get dry and warm and give you a cup of tea :)
im crying omg
This made me cry x
😭
This restored the little faith I had in humanity, seriously I almost cried. Thanks for sharing your story. (Also nice profile pic hehe)
2001, I was 16, sat down at a bench next ro a tall grown, elderly man. Noticed a faded tatoo with several numbers on his inner wrist. Gathered all my courage and asked him if this tattoo meant what I assume it means. He said I was right and told me that he survived a concentration camp as a young man. Told me how starved he was (less than my weight back then, I was sth about 50 kg). He was so gentle and kind.
I have ASD (or Aspergers to simplify things). I have awful Misophonia, which is a deep sensitivity to sounds, and the severe ticks and emotional responses to them.
My school was having a pep rally type of thing in the gym and we all were required to attend. I wasn’t ever in special ed because I ‘didn’t look autistic’ so my issues weren’t taken seriously by the school.
So I was there in the gym, forced to be surrounded by 2000 people in the same room, packed shoulder to shoulder. I was near the top of the bleachers sitting with my friends. I had already been having anxiety out of me anticipating the noise I would be hearing, which made my reaction stronger. It’s not the volume of the noises that is the issue, rather it’s the noises themselves. People secretly eating Takis out of there back pack, someone belting out whatever pop garbage they are listening to, feet tapping, shoes squeaking, people laughing.
I always try to conceal it but it’s pretty obvious when I’m having an attack. I press my knees together and bring my shoulder up to my ear. I don’t blame my friends for not noticing, they were focused on the contents of the rally. I was at the end of my row of friends, so there was a random student to my left. I guess he felt my shoulder move up or noticed my feet tapping because he turned to face me. Behind my panic I was also deeply embarrassed. I’m sitting there as a grown a$$ person, 17 years old, and reacting like a child. I expected him to be rude but he asked me if I was okay. I couldn’t respond, which was an answer in itself. He put a hand on my knee to ground me, and helped me down the bleachers. He lead me to the outside of the gym and just stood with me until the anxiety attack passed. I am so great full for him doing that. I made sure to thank him as soon as I could speak.
We are friends now, but we were strangers when we met. I am deeply thankful for his kindness.
I remember sitting next to a woman on a flight to Dubai, I was 13 at the time. She gave me her dessert with a smile, I remember being in awe of her beauty, petite woman with blonde curly hair. When we landed in Dubai I saw her run up to her partner and jump into his arms. There was just something different about her, a free spirit.
Sounds so beautiful 💕
Yasmin Khan i live in Dubai and i love this story.
This one really stuck to me aswell me being in a long distance relationship..
Yasmin Khan amazing
She’s nice. Like a Y/N straight out off a Fanfic
I was in,2nd grade I think and I saw this boy in my class. He had some kind of disability(i wouldn't know I was in 2nd grade) and every day he would draw the same picture. Of Jack and the beanstalk. And one day I said, "Wanna be friends? I like your picture." And he didn't look me in the eye or respond. But the next day he drew the same picture and gave it to me, but this time climbing the beanstalk was me and him.
that's touching
Omg thats so cute
That is beautiful ❤️
Awwwwww that’s so cute
So cute.
I often show kidness and give compliments to strangers, and this video makes me think if i am someones stranger they still remember. It makes my heart smile.
A stranger is just a friend you havent met. 🙏
InnSaei Gnosis yes theory?
Wonderful words!
Or an enemy who knows
InnSaei Gnosis
Awh that got me
InnSaei Gnosis hopefully.
Not trying to ruin your comment, but definitely not all strangers are friends.
I was like, 11. I was trying to sell my art at the park for $.50 because I didn’t think it was really worth much. This dude comes up and asks me to draw out his daughters name in bubble letters (butterfly themed) and he gave me $3 for a mediocre drawing. He told me he knew what it felt like, doing what i was doing, and wanted to push me and support me. It made me feel like I was worth so much more than I originally thought. Another time, by chance, I was walking home from my friends house after my sister dropped said friend off. It was nice and she wanted to chat with her so I decided to walk to my nearby home. Suddenly, a dude stops me. Not the same dude from before but like, a dude I kinda recognized runs out and says “are you the girl who draws at the park?”
“Uh... yea?”
“Wait here, I have something for you”
I was standing there kinda like, uh, ok. So he comes out 5 minutes later with a big Bob Ross set.
Turns out, he got it for a Christmas present 10 years ago and never used it. It was from his father. He said he wanted me to have it because he never used it and I could do more than he could with it. It was worth, like, $100. It was really sweet.
We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents
Happy trees :)
heart-warming. :)
@@maliafortner yesss!!
wholesome like bob ross
The kindness of strangers, oh dear I really could tell many many stories. But this is the eldest one I remember. I was about 5 years old and my mother and me got into that really terrible rain shower on our way home from shopping. We seeked a dry place and stood in the doorway of an old house, when suddenly the door was opened and an old lady and her even older mother invited us into their home to get dry and wait til the rain has stopped. But not only that, they also put their freshly baked plum cake on the table. My Mum got coffee and for me there was a hot chocolate. I remember it til today, although it was 50 years ago. Such kindness.
I love it here.
E-mailed myself this link so I can come back from time to time to read the comments.
Thank you to everyone. You all are my stranger!
Just discovered this video today and I’ve been reading through the comments for more than an hour and it’s really nice to see all of the positive stories people have to tell! Considering E-mailing myself this link as well so I can be reminded to come back here every so often :)
Reading those storys seem to do you good, so treat yourself, my friend.
Welcome home, Ser :-)
My heart ❤️🥺 I completely agree. I could read these comments for the rest of my life.
I love how this reminds me that for every bad person in the world, there are tons of good people willing to lend a helping hand.
Sadly, it’s turning the other way around
@@jackh.9760 Why do you think that? Guess all these people in the comments and in this video still exist, they are propably not dead or something. People always seem to tend towards saying "the world is bad, people are bad" just because most media is only focusing on the tragedies of this world. For example, just read the discription of this video: "the most memorable person for me is a guy who made me realize that I've meet 50,000 people and ONLY 1 of them has made me sad." If thats not telling you that no, it's not "turning the other way around", then I don't know.
c a t nope, that’s actually false
I don’t know who needs this but I love you, even though I don’t know you💕 you are enough, and even if you feel like you messed up it’s okay, everyone does. Just know that I love you and you are an amazing person. You are who you are meant to be and nobody can change that except you💛👑
@@Morning60 I love you too.
I was going to the supermarket, and there was this homeless man in front of the door, I asked him if I could get him something to eat or anything, and he looked at me right in the eyes and said " Would you please give me a smile ? "
It just blew me away.
Wawww
Wow
that is a common tactic
@@nekopuella i was homeless for over a year.. people give more money if you ask for a smile and nothing more
@@michubern1444 When I give, I give what I have. It isn't much. But I believe that God blesses that gift and it is in His hands and that He blesses the person who receives it. That makes it a far better gift than I could ever give.
I remember a girl that I had met at Disney Land.
I'm a huge pin trader so I went up to any pin trading stand I could find. I found this really cool pin stand that did a mystery pin trade so I took my opportunity and looked at it but the girl was in front of me so I waited till she was done. She turned around and looked at me and with out missing a beat she said, "Woah! You're really pretty!" and I was so surprised that all I could get out was a small thank you but sometimes I remember her randomly and smile to myself. I remember her so clearly though because that day I didn't feel pretty and I was hot and sweaty so I just didn't think I looked good that day but she thought otherwise and it made me really happy.
Back in late 2014 I was working at a gas station, and this girl around my age (18 at the time), came in crying and obviously torn up about something, I never knew what it was about. She asked me if I was a religious man, at the time I wasn't, so I just kind of stared and asked why. She said "if you are, you could please pray for me". I asked for her name "so He would know who I was talking about". I still remember her name. For some reason I prayed about her often for weeks after, just making sure she was ok. She came back in a few months later and told me everything was good.
I gave a homeless man $20 and he sat down with me and thanked me repeatedly. He said that he could see pain in my eyes and he was right ( I have depression), he told me that he would pray for me and gave me the most pure smile
That's always so nice... I'm not sure of what I believe in but it always makes me feel like crying when someone wholeheartedly says that they will pray for me... not to convert me to their faith, just pray for my well-being. I also have depression. I've had it for 7 years now...! I send you and everyone reading this a hug.
Leonel Demetrio I know right! Like offering your own faith over to someone else struggling is just so caring
That's beautiful
thats so beautiful
I was at an airport and my dad starts hitting and yelling at me. Some lady comes is, stops him and calls security. Never forget her.
How are you now my friend? All good?
I experienced a similar situation
anna guida damn I don’t think that happened that’s crazy
It's really empowering when someone from the outside almost claims responsibility for your safety

I was an extraordinarily isolated child. I was homeschooled and lived in a neighborhood with no other children, and next to nothing was in walking (or biking) distance. I used to read books about kids who were in public school and marvel at the lives of even the “loners”. I dreamed about what it was like to meet up with someone after school, to play at the playground together, or even just what it would be like to visit a friend’s house: something I’d never done, nor had anyone visited mine.
One day when I was 8 or so, my mom drove me out to a park in another neighborhood so I could play. I was acting out a scene from one of my favorite books when a girl came up to me and asked me if I wanted to play with her since none of her friends could be there that day. She took me off down a trail into the woods, to a place where the neighborhood kids had made a sort of nest out of tree branches, and we just sat there while she told me stories about the games they’d play, the neighborhood boys who harassed them- anything. She showed me the tree with a loose branch, which they’d use to shake the tree tops like a little bat-signal to call all the other girls over. We even ran from the boys when a few of them showed up and hid in the other, “secret” meeting place. For a half hour or so, I got to be an actual, real kid. I’ll never forget it.
I’m glad you got to experience that but I do wish for your inner child to have more friends to play with in future 😊
Play is a very important part to the development of children (specifficaly the development of morality) to the point that being deprived of play is considered abuse and that play in children is considered a human right.
For more information I would recomend Jean Piagets work on the development of children; it revolutionized psychology.
Everyone else: *sad stories*
Me:
I was 12 riding on the freeway with my mom on a lengthy road. A car drove exactly next to us for about 5 minutes. Me and a girl in the car played Rock Paper Scissors over and over again until her car finally turned and we parted ways. We both had our hands on the window waving bye with a smile on our faces.
So kind.
Jonabob wow
Jonabob that’s cool
One time i was at a mall where i used to live sitting in a photo booth. This little girl opened the other side stared at me then flipped me off. So yeah
Ne'Zira Rusel 💀
man me too, i remember being stuck in the worst traffic jam ive seen to this day when i was like 8 and talking to the kids in the car next to me by writing on our notebooks :')
Y'all ever notice blind people are the most pure because they don't care about your physical features they can't see you so instead they pay attention to your personality.
Holo Sxope BOI so true!
Tru
so true my grandmother is blind and she is the most pure person i know
i asked her if she could see one person who whoul dshe choose and she said me
No shit
Helen Keller was pure
The one stranger I constantly remember, was a dainty, beautiful, blonde French girl from "Paree". I met her in an Irish pub in Sofia, Bulgaria whilst backpacking when I was 24. She told me she was 17 years old and I asked her how she was brave enough to travel on her own at that age, but she said that she was in Sofia with her 'Faza' (father), not on her own. However, on that night she was out in the city on her own with two older men. I was quite naive at 24 but I still I had an irksome feeling about those two men. One was huge and muscular and had a motorbike. The other was older and slimey. She said they were her friends. I asked for her phone number and later they all left. It took me years to figure out why that evening made me so uncomfortable. That big guy on the motorbike was a predator. A PREDATOR. It was in his eyes and the way he looked at her like he was going to consume her. He was either high on drugs or high on the close proximity of the dainty blonde girl who was his prey. He was creeping on her and I regret so much, not taking her away from them. I believed her when she said she could handle herself and that the two men were her friends. I worry to this day that she was about to be attacked, trafficked, or was a human trafficking victim already. I have searched data bases for missing children to see if I could recognise her face. I regret the loss of her phone number with my old phone. I hope all my fears for this young woman were imagined, are you out there blonde Parisian beauty? Do you remember meeting me in that Irish pub? Are you okay?
No strangers ever did anything drastic, just the small acts of kindness are what I remember. I was getting off of my school van to my bus stop, and when I realized my bag was open, it was too late. All of the papers were blown out, and these 2 nice ladies by the bus stop without hesitation help me put my papers back in my bag. Nice people
I was living in China and I was moving from one district to another, my chinese wasn’t good by that time and the driver that took me home helped me to put my stuff inside the new apartment and when it was time to pay him he didn’t accept the money, he just keep saying “I don’t want it” then through didi’s platform he sent me a message which was “my son is also a student in a foreign country I hope he gets treated the same by foreigners and that you get treated well in my home town” that really touched my heart forever
What city was this in?? I also live in China
Aww 🥺
That’s so sweet 🙂
Cool story
Jae Cloete me too!
The nurse who treated me at the hospital after my suicide attempt.
“You can do it, I believe in you.”
I didn’t know I needed that.
Edit: Thank you all so much for the support, I wish I could say Im better (although I havent stopped trying) but at least I have not been hospitalized since. Mental illness is a lifelong struggle and some days can be worse than others but I'm glad I can still have some faith in humanity. It means a lot to have some support somewhere even if I can't find it around me, I can count on all of the caring people who I have yet to meet.
Jackie H you can do it. It gets better, I promise you. It may not feel like it now but life does get better. I’m rooting for you, I believe in you too. -from one stranger to the next
Jackie H life is bad u may think well I disagree there is bad days and good days in the end it's gonna get better if it still didin't get better then its still not the end I believe in you too you should know that life is a test from god and u should complete it-stranger
Im going through a tough time too
this actually gave me chills. thank you for sharing! and i hope you’re doing better now.
This comment needs so many more likes than it has,
You are awesome, you can do it, I believe in you 😁😙
I’m saving this video so that I can read all these amazing comments when I’m having a bad day. 😢 They are so lovely! Thanks for sharing your stories. I’ll think of something to add and come back. ❤
the comments are just as great as the video, even moreso.
