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.
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.
@@koby4115 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-
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 🤷♀️
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.
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.
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 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 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.
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)
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 !"
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.
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.
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.
@@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
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.
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! ❤🙌🏼
*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*
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
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 😣
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.
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 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.
Dang it i'm ruining the like's and reply's!!! You did have an even 900 but this is so good i had to like! And you had even reply's at 5 and now you have six:((((((((((((
@@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.
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💛👑
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
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 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.
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.
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.
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
when I was 10 years old, I had no phone, I didn't know my mum's number and no one was home. I found my dad dead in my living room, he had shot himself. I ran out of my house crying and screaming and I bumped into this older man who asked me what was wrong, I told him what had happened and he helped me, even though it meant he had to see a dead person and even though he didn't have to stop and ask what was wrong, he still helped me. That is the stranger I will remember for the rest of my life.
- I’m so sorry you had to endure that at such a young age. But i think it’s beautiful that - that man helped at the expense of seeing such a sight. You most definitely are a stranger who has had a long lasting effect on him.
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.
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.
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 🥺
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.
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 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.
@@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.
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.
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.
You shouldn't feel guilt for this. Life is really distracting and you had a lot going on to get back on your feet. She would understand that. I kind of believe that we only really start to know how to do life (and love) really well when it's around the time we leave it, and that's the same for all of us. Even though you didn't stay in touch with her specifically, I'm sure her kindness has infused how you are with other people. If you're looking for her, I hope you find her, if you're not then I hope both of you are doing well.
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. ❤
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.
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.
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
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.
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. I'll never forget this. Ever.
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!
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.
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.
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.
@@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 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.
On my first week of driving after getting a license, I would do these "test drives" with my dad around the city to practice my driving skills. I was very nervous about driving, and my city is known for its heavy and chaotic traffic jams. In one of these "test drives", we stopped at the traffic lights right in front of a tunnel's entrance. When the light turned green, I just kept stalling the car (it was manual) over and over again and couldn't move it. My dad tried to help me but I just couldn't make sense of what he was saying. I was getting even more nervous, people behind me started honking at me and I still couldn't figure it out. Meanwhile, I saw a homeless man approach my open window, and I could only think of "oh well, now he's gonna ask me for money or something and make this situation even worse". But no. When he got closer, he said "Calm down, you can do it! Just try to relax, you know how to do this!" and then he faced the honking cars behind me and said "Could you stop bothering my friend here? She's learning!" After that I finally got the car to move, and didn't even get a chance to thank him. I'll never forget how wholesome that moment was!
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.
I was in Walmart I was 14 years old and I rember seeing a girl. And she had a giant scar on her eye and I had a very similar scar on my opposite eye and I wanted to know so badly how she got that scar. But I didnt that day. And i thought i never would but boy was I wrong. 5 years later I'm starting college and I go to class and a girl walks in and you'll never believe it, it was that girl from Walmart. So after class I went up to her and asked how did u get that scar and before she answered she stayed I wanted to ask you the same question all those years ago at Walmart. 20 years later we are married with 3 children. THANK YOU WALLMART
I’ll never forget when I was 10 and was buying deodorant with my sister for my dad for Christmas. We were spraying them and smelling them and found one we liked so we through it in the basket. An old lady next to us stopped us and said to us “what were you’s just doing” I thought she was mad so we got scared and we mumbled “smelling them to buy a nice smell for our dad” and she said “exactly, that’s what everyone does, don’t grab the one from the from the front sweetheart, their half empty, always grab one from the back” she then grabbed it out of our basket and grabbed one from the back and said “here you go sweetheart” ever since then, even today at 20 I always got them from the back, something I’ve never forgotten. I wish I could see her again and hug her and thank her.. I’m not sure why but it was such a kind thing for her to do for my sister and I and she quite literally changed my sister and I’s life forever. I know a strange thing to remember, but I’ll never forget it, it was a life lesson.
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
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.
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.
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.
4:27 God I had an experience really similar. I was coming back from school, I remember i was passing by a footbridge. And then a girl, hugs me and whispers "Keep walking, he has been following you" Once we got to the other side, i saw a man walking by near us. Girl If you're watching this, Thank you.
there is this one guy that have come up to me several times ever since 1 grade (im in fifth grade now) he asks things like "how old are you? whats your name? what school do you go too?" and more. He is about 50 i think and he has come up to other girls my age too. he always comes at the same time around 3 pm. i end school at 3 pm
@@Benjamin-ku1yh thx for the advice❤ but suprisingly many parents including mine and the principal knows about this guy. I think like one parent called the cops but they couldnt really do anything
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.
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.
Go WAY out of your way to help someone out. I used to do good deeds on the subway (hmmm.. I don't anymore). And I would think, "Well, they are going to go home and tell someone THAT story about me."
imagine if one of them talked about a stranger and another person talks about that stranger, basically two different people remember each other as there stranger
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 :)
i was 11 when i was sexually abused. i only told my best friend bc of how scared i was, she later told the principal what happened to me bc she knew how much it was hurting me. they investigated, and eventually the guy went to jail. however there was a lady that was brought to the school that specifically asked for me. in my head i already knew what it was about, she shared her own stories and told me how strong i was. she read me a book called “the giving tree”, a book she used to read with her daughter. she told me i was a survivor, even wrote it down on the inside cover. i still have the book till this day, every now and then i read it to myself and remember how much that moment meant, bc even if my own family didn’t believe me at least she did. if i could thank her today i would.
When my son was 11 he couldnt sleep or eat for days. I was really worried and a few days later he confessed that one of his classmates was dating a teacher. She made him promise not to say anything BUT he was really worried about her and saw that she was scared of him. He made me promise not to tell anyone but I went to the sheriffs dept. we live in a VERY small town and I found out that a son of his was a Sheriff as well. I was scared BUT they investigated and he ended up getting arrested. the lil girl thanked me later. I explained to my son that something bad could have happened to her if I stayed quiet and he understood.
Lettie Navarro “dating”? More like ‘statutory rape’. Dating is where two people who are attracted to each other spend time together to see if they also can stand to be around each other most of the time, if this is successful they develop a relationship.
@@triplet2381 Kind of a rude reply, to be completely honest. Her son felt there was something really wrong with the situation, but was not yet old enough to fully understand why he had such a negative response.
The exact same thing is happening to me now. There’s this guy named Kyle who tried stalking me, inviting me to his bedroom, making disgusting gestures... i told my principal and he called the school police for sexual harassment and some other stuff. I LITERALLY told the principal about 7 hours ago.
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 😌
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.
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've come to understand that those that sympathize with us are those that have been where we are at Im glad you got help Bless that woman tenfold wherever she may be. May this blessing fall on her children and children's children.
I worked as a bus girl in a buffet and there was this older electrician that would come every day. He reminded me of my grandad, who passed shortly after this. He always teased me about taking his plates too early. He never said much or even smiled back at me, but he always thanked me and left a tip. One day i went to take his plate and he stops me and says "how old are you?" I was 19 at the time. He told me he thought I had too much potential to be working as a bus girl cleaning tables my whole life. he told me he believed in me and he prayed i go to school so that I could have a good life. He told me I could do anything with this very serious look on his face. I wanted to cry. It was so kind and out of the blue. I quit that job weeks later to start focusing on school. For the first time in my life I had a solid 4.0 (and still do thankfully). I ended up bumping into him at a pizza place a year later and told him I started school and had great grades. Instead of his usual serious, aloof demeanor, he smiled and laughed loudly like a proud dad. he gave me a hug and said he was so happy to hear that. I learned his name is Norm. I haven't seen him since, but I will always remember how he took the time to let me know he believed in me.
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.
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
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 :')
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.
I really bonded and had a fun time with a nice guy on a plane once. I was a middle-aged single mom & he was a young professional, just out of college. When we parted ways in the airport, he said to me, “I don’t know if I’ll ever get married, but if I do, I hope she’s just like you.” I’ll never forget that.
Never seen a comment section full of so many stories that I needed to see.. thank you to all you beautiful people for restoring my faith in humanity and for sharing your stories...
Babygirl Aurora thank you for showing how kind, generous and loving you are also. Praying that everyone sees we can be the kind, loving future of the world.
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.
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.
Stranger danger was a big mistake when that slogan was created. The majority of people that abuse us are people we are close to, family, friend, etc...
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.
I was waiting at a bus stop, drinking some tea, when an 85-year-old woman walked up to me and said: "All alone at the bus stop, drinking some tea...or gin?" I laughed and said just tea today. She asked me what I was studying and I said philosophy and environmental studies. She smiled and said "Oh I love that. that is wonderful. They talk about how much the sea levels are rising" She began to tell me about her memories of war and the machines they used, but my bus arrived so I didn't hear all that she had to say. She pat me on the back and said "save us"
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.
Used to chat with a woman while walking my dog a few years back. Older woman. Hippy, vegan feminist type. Really cool but there was always something kind of sad about her. Saw her fairly regularly and we'd chat casually while the dogs ran around and played. One day I realise I haven't seen her in months, get a little worried but I know nothing about her beyond her first name and what we chatted about so I move on and just keep doing my thing, hoping she's okay. About a year/18 months later I'm sat on a bench chilling by the lake and a big brown Staffy just bolts out of nowhere, rests her head in my lap and just stays there, refusing to budge. A few seconds later I remember my vegan buddy and realise this dog is IDENTICAL to hers. Same colour, markings the whole nine yards and go "Poppy?!" She wags her tail so hard her whole back end is shaking and nuzzles deeper into me. 100% sure this is the same dog I start looking around hoping to see her wandering up for a chat like old times but she's nowhere to be seen and a little old lady is hurrying over very apologetically to reign in her dog. We get talking and it turns out she's only had this dog (she called her Belle) for about 8 months, got her from the RSPCA and she's had a tough time getting her to be calm since she adopted her and nuzzled up to me is apparently the calmest she's ever seen her. To this day I'm absolutely certain Belle was in fact Poppy and I've this feeling that my casual vegan buddy died (or worse killed herself) and her pup recognized me after so long and wanted comfort from a familiar face. Ever since I can't go more than a day or two without remembering her, worrying and hoping she's doing well.
95% of the comments are about meeting the strangers. Might as well do the same I met a stranger (a kid) at a party who gave me an oreo. The last oreo. He sacrificed his last oreo just to give it to me I'm 23
When i was 9 I was on a vacation with my parents. We were staying in a hotel and one night i met this girl she was maybe 16-17 and we played tag you're it. After a few minutes a stranger picked me up in his arms and took me in his room. I didn't scream because i didn't know what was going on but immediately that girl knocked on his door and told him that she was my sister and he can't just do that. He got scared and let me go and I will forever remember her because she saved my life that night. I am 17 now and I will forever be thankful to her I hope she is doing really good.
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.
Every morning as I drove to school I would see a small old woman with her very large (and very old) dog. They would walk the same route every day at their slow pace together and I always remember seeing the dog’s cute swaying and wobbly way of walking because of how old it was. I’d see them each morning without fail as I drove by and it always made me smile. One morning, as I was looking out the window I noticed I didn’t see them walking together and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. The next day I recall driving by and seeing the old woman- she was walking alone with a tissue in her hand. I’ll never forget that day.
I was crossing the street. He was crossing the street from the other side. Our eyes met. He smiled at me and I was stupid enough not to stop for a small talk. That was certainly the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. It's been about 4 years now, and that smile is still haunting me. If I find you some day I will ask you to marry me.
How old are you now? It'll be wonderfull if you'd really find him.... but what if one day you'll met that particular guy and finally get to talk to him but when that time comes, you are already married? Kinda sad to imagine tho😢
ugh the same thing happened to me. i accidentally made eye contact with this guy and he had such pretty eyes they were like blue/green but then we just passed each other and even though it was close to where i live i haven't seen him since
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
I was 28 in Rio de Janeiro, and I saw a pregnant homeless woman with a child. She was sleeping on the street on a bed of cardboard. I was drunk at the time so I didn't talk to her and scare her kids, but when I got a little further away I burst into tears. I had just spent so much money drinking and eating at a restaurant with my girlfriend, and it felt so superficial and wrong that I had spent so much on something so meaningless. I walked a bit further down the street, and bought some takeaway, brought it back, but she was gone, and I never got the chance to give her that meal.
you’re a very kind person! it’s clear you acknowledge and appreciate the luxuries you have, so don’t feel guilty about enjoying them. hopefully that woman finds an easier life thanks to other good people like you :)
I remember this little girl that gave me her coloring page at a restaurant, and her mom apologized, but I just thought it was adorable. I still have the drawing :) it made my day. I know it sound silly. She just said “here you go” in the cutest voice and my heart just melted Edit: I’m sorry but why does this have so many likes
Mine was when a guy asked me "are you happy?" I honestly froze and I couldn't answer, then he told me "your shirt." I didn't notice it was written on my shirt. Lol
Oh someone mistook me as their child and they were soo super embarrassed and one I went to chucky cheese and the guy in the chucky cheese mascot came up to me and he scared me mind you this is when I took karate and uh I might have kicked and punched him in one swift move like BAM BAM yaaaaeh let's just say I never went back
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 💕
all these answers are deep. my memory is that one time i was at a restaurant and this old man waved me over. i went to his table and he opened his bag. there was a baby kangaroo inside. a baby freaking kangaroo. that was 9 years ago and i haven’t forgotten.
When I first started my job I had a cut on my arm from a box in the shipment i was doing that day and as I was ringing out an older lady I saw her glimpse at the cut and get flustered...She handed me her change with a shaking hand and then gently grabbed my arm and said “sweetie, you are beautiful and whatever is troubling you is just temporary. I’m glad you’re still here. No more of this ok?” Bec she thought I was a cutter...at that time I was actually at my darkest mentally and was contemplating some things, so for her to go out of her way to show that she cared(even though she didn’t know me), it was such a big deal to me. I went in the back room and literally cried...I still remember her face and think about her a lot bec I’m so grateful.
@ Amber Burbo I am taking a moment to thank God that you are here. To thank you for telling your story. I hope that someone else that is needed in this world reads your story and knows that there are others that love and care for them also. Thank you so much and blessed be! 💝 You are a gift!!!
Stacie Wagner thank you so much. That meant a lot to me. God definitely had a plan for me, I’m now working my dream job and loving every second of it. May god do the same for others as he did for me ❤️
There was a young man i saw once or twice with a few of my friends at a local coffee shop sitting all alone. He had a clear disability and he ordered a coke and a cake. This one occasion, we sat near him and smiled, but apart from that we carried on with our conversation. While talking we started making a few jokes, followed by a genuine and appreciative laugh. We looked over and we saw that he was listening to our conversation since he was alone and thoroughly enjoyed our company. Me and my friends kept on making jokes to make him laugh again since it really touched our hearts. I think he saw us as somewhat friends and it has really stuck with me ever since.
I wish I can be a stranger to be remembered in people's lives in a good way. It just remembers me that every day and every encounter is an opportunity to make a difference in someone's life.
I was a teen mom. My son had just turned 3 and we were standing in the guest service line at a grocery store. I was stressed out and doing everything I could to hold back tears. My little boy pointed to a water fountain nearby and asked if he could have a drink. I nodded yes, and as I watched him walk away I started to cry. I was wiping away my tears embarrassed to be crying in public. A woman approached me as she was leaving the store. She put her hand on my shoulder and said, "you're a good mom." Then she walked away. When you're a teen mom people are constantly looking at you and criticizing everything you do. In the three years since he was born she was the only person who told me I was doing a good job. She may just be a regular human being but I'll always remember her as an angel.
Hope you are doing good...even though I don't understand what u are going through because I am a boy 😂...u are still special and never care about what people think about u...just leave them be😊
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.
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)
Imagine being one of the mentioned "strangers" and watching this video. That would be a total trip yo

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.
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.
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
Glad you're still here, man! All the best for the future. Yoda is wise indeed.
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-
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

Couple years back when dabbing was still relevant I dabbed at someone who was driving and they dabbed back at me.

They were in a school bus...they started dabbing...and then I dabbed back...they looked proud af

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

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.

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.

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 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
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.

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"

That’s so beautiful man wtf😢And he gave u a blunt? Blessed man I hope he’s doing good
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 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.
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! 💖
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 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! ❤🙌🏼
*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 😣
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 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 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.
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 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....

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

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
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 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.
when I was 10 years old, I had no phone, I didn't know my mum's number and no one was home. I found my dad dead in my living room, he had shot himself. I ran out of my house crying and screaming and I bumped into this older man who asked me what was wrong, I told him what had happened and he helped me, even though it meant he had to see a dead person and even though he didn't have to stop and ask what was wrong, he still helped me. That is the stranger I will remember for the rest of my life.
How old are you now?
@@twinnt I am 17, why?
- I’m so sorry you had to endure that at such a young age. But i think it’s beautiful that - that man helped at the expense of seeing such a sight. You most definitely are a stranger who has had a long lasting effect on him.
I'm so so so glad he was there. God bless you and that guy❤️
This genuinely brought me to tears- I’m so sorry lovely. I am just so so so sorry.
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?
This made me cry, it’s so sweet 🥺
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!
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 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 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.
@@sharonsanchez8158 you have such a beautiful outlook. I’m so glad you’re healing. I know what it’s like to have a rough childhood. Sending you love 💗
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

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 !
You shouldn't feel guilt for this. Life is really distracting and you had a lot going on to get back on your feet. She would understand that. I kind of believe that we only really start to know how to do life (and love) really well when it's around the time we leave it, and that's the same for all of us. Even though you didn't stay in touch with her specifically, I'm sure her kindness has infused how you are with other people. If you're looking for her, I hope you find her, if you're not then I hope both of you are doing well.
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. ❤

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😭
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

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!
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

Ask strangers, “ What’s one thing you wish you had said?” ♥️
That'll be heartbreaking but I want to see it
"i like you" 😥😟
Yaas i'd be very interesting
It’s already been done by her! It’s an emotional video so check it out!
Interesting question. I think Mostly it will be "sorry I f***ed up"?
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.
I'll never forget this. Ever.
Awww that is adorableeeee
Awww but I'm also laughing because of ur profile pic 😂
Awww thats cute
That is sooo cute ❤️
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 😂
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.

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.
Karoline LeBlanc ...I was thinking the same.
Sounds like you met an Angel sent by God to console you my friend. God bless you.
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 :')
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 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.
On my first week of driving after getting a license, I would do these "test drives" with my dad around the city to practice my driving skills. I was very nervous about driving, and my city is known for its heavy and chaotic traffic jams.
In one of these "test drives", we stopped at the traffic lights right in front of a tunnel's entrance. When the light turned green, I just kept stalling the car (it was manual) over and over again and couldn't move it. My dad tried to help me but I just couldn't make sense of what he was saying. I was getting even more nervous, people behind me started honking at me and I still couldn't figure it out.
Meanwhile, I saw a homeless man approach my open window, and I could only think of "oh well, now he's gonna ask me for money or something and make this situation even worse". But no.
When he got closer, he said "Calm down, you can do it! Just try to relax, you know how to do this!" and then he faced the honking cars behind me and said "Could you stop bothering my friend here? She's learning!"
After that I finally got the car to move, and didn't even get a chance to thank him.
I'll never forget how wholesome that moment was!

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 was in Walmart I was 14 years old and I rember seeing a girl. And she had a giant scar on her eye and I had a very similar scar on my opposite eye and I wanted to know so badly how she got that scar. But I didnt that day. And i thought i never would but boy was I wrong. 5 years later I'm starting college and I go to class and a girl walks in and you'll never believe it, it was that girl from Walmart. So after class I went up to her and asked how did u get that scar and before she answered she stayed I wanted to ask you the same question all those years ago at Walmart. 20 years later we are married with 3 children.

I’ll never forget when I was 10 and was buying deodorant with my sister for my dad for Christmas. We were spraying them and smelling them and found one we liked so we through it in the basket. An old lady next to us stopped us and said to us “what were you’s just doing” I thought she was mad so we got scared and we mumbled “smelling them to buy a nice smell for our dad” and she said “exactly, that’s what everyone does, don’t grab the one from the from the front sweetheart, their half empty, always grab one from the back” she then grabbed it out of our basket and grabbed one from the back and said “here you go sweetheart” ever since then, even today at 20 I always got them from the back, something I’ve never forgotten. I wish I could see her again and hug her and thank her.. I’m not sure why but it was such a kind thing for her to do for my sister and I and she quite literally changed my sister and I’s life forever. I know a strange thing to remember, but I’ll never forget it, it was a life lesson.

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

Cool story
Jae Cloete me too!
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.
I met a kid who said he wanted to be a dolphin, I couldn’t be more relatable.

4:27 God I had an experience really similar.
I was coming back from school, I remember i was passing by a footbridge. And then a girl, hugs me and whispers "Keep walking, he has been following you" Once we got to the other side, i saw a man walking by near us.
Girl If you're watching this, Thank you.
did you run after ?
@@katiesdigitaljournal i didn't, I had to wait at a bus stop, thankfully there were many people there.
there is this one guy that have come up to me several times ever since 1 grade (im in fifth grade now) he asks things like "how old are you? whats your name? what school do you go too?" and more. He is about 50 i think and he has come up to other girls my age too. he always comes at the same time around 3 pm. i end school at 3 pm
ofe if he makes you feel uncomfortable, talk to your parents or the school principal. He might just be a nice guy but, just to be safe
@@Benjamin-ku1yh thx for the advice❤ but suprisingly many parents including mine and the principal knows about this guy. I think like one parent called the cops but they couldnt really do anything
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.

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.

We didn't know him and we never saw him again. I will never forget this.

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 :)

"one kind word can warm three winter months" Japanese proverb if I remember right.
This is absolutely true!!!
i was 11 when i was sexually abused. i only told my best friend bc of how scared i was, she later told the principal what happened to me bc she knew how much it was hurting me. they investigated, and eventually the guy went to jail. however there was a lady that was brought to the school that specifically asked for me. in my head i already knew what it was about, she shared her own stories and told me how strong i was. she read me a book called “the giving tree”, a book she used to read with her daughter. she told me i was a survivor, even wrote it down on the inside cover. i still have the book till this day, every now and then i read it to myself and remember how much that moment meant, bc even if my own family didn’t believe me at least she did. if i could thank her today i would.
When my son was 11 he couldnt sleep or eat for days. I was really worried and a few days later he confessed that one of his classmates was dating a teacher. She made him promise not to say anything BUT he was really worried about her and saw that she was scared of him. He made me promise not to tell anyone but I went to the sheriffs dept. we live in a VERY small town and I found out that a son of his was a Sheriff as well. I was scared BUT they investigated and he ended up getting arrested. the lil girl thanked me later. I explained to my son that something bad could have happened to her if I stayed quiet and he understood.

“dating”? More like ‘statutory rape’.
Dating is where two people who are attracted to each other spend time together to see if they also can stand to be around each other most of the time, if this is successful they develop a relationship.
KNIGHT MASTER Yes! Thats the word he used tho haha but I did tell him that a Minor CANNOT date an adult!
@@triplet2381 Kind of a rude reply, to be completely honest. Her son felt there was something really wrong with the situation, but was not yet old enough to fully understand why he had such a negative response.
The exact same thing is happening to me now. There’s this guy named Kyle who tried stalking me, inviting me to his bedroom, making disgusting gestures... i told my principal and he called the school police for sexual harassment and some other stuff. I LITERALLY told the principal about 7 hours ago.
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 😌

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.

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.

So true .
I worked as a bus girl in a buffet and there was this older electrician that would come every day. He reminded me of my grandad, who passed shortly after this. He always teased me about taking his plates too early. He never said much or even smiled back at me, but he always thanked me and left a tip. One day i went to take his plate and he stops me and says "how old are you?" I was 19 at the time. He told me he thought I had too much potential to be working as a bus girl cleaning tables my whole life. he told me he believed in me and he prayed i go to school so that I could have a good life. He told me I could do anything with this very serious look on his face. I wanted to cry. It was so kind and out of the blue. I quit that job weeks later to start focusing on school. For the first time in my life I had a solid 4.0 (and still do thankfully). I ended up bumping into him at a pizza place a year later and told him I started school and had great grades. Instead of his usual serious, aloof demeanor, he smiled and laughed loudly like a proud dad. he gave me a hug and said he was so happy to hear that. I learned his name is Norm. I haven't seen him since, but I will always remember how he took the time to let me know he believed in me.

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. 🤎
I really bonded and had a fun time with a nice guy on a plane once. I was a middle-aged single mom & he was a young professional, just out of college. When we parted ways in the airport, he said to me, “I don’t know if I’ll ever get married, but if I do, I hope she’s just like you.” I’ll never forget that.

Not trying to ruin your comment, but definitely not all strangers are friends.
Never seen a comment section full of so many stories that I needed to see.. thank you to all you beautiful people for restoring my faith in humanity and for sharing your stories...
I agree sm!
Babygirl Aurora thank you for showing how kind, generous and loving you are also. Praying that everyone sees we can be the kind, loving future of the world.
i agrree
I like the stories. They're quite touching,but I've still lost faith in humanity
Wow you are so beautiful like blessed with beauty.Amazing
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.
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
society: don’t talk to strangers
this video:
Stranger danger was a big mistake when that slogan was created. The majority of people that abuse us are people we are close to, family, friend, etc...
trueeeeeeeeeee askldjasjasj
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 was waiting at a bus stop, drinking some tea, when an 85-year-old woman walked up to me and said: "All alone at the bus stop, drinking some tea...or gin?"
I laughed and said just tea today.
She asked me what I was studying and I said philosophy and environmental studies.
She smiled and said "Oh I love that. that is wonderful. They talk about how much the sea levels are rising"
She began to tell me about her memories of war and the machines they used, but my bus arrived so I didn't hear all that she had to say.
She pat me on the back
and said "save us"
„Save us“
From who
@@BIanka0200 the aliens homie
That's so ominous omg
Time to put on your cape, woman.
Medikamenten-Kind from the sea bc the sea levels are rising (im from the Netherlands so sorry for bad English)
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❤
Used to chat with a woman while walking my dog a few years back. Older woman. Hippy, vegan feminist type. Really cool but there was always something kind of sad about her. Saw her fairly regularly and we'd chat casually while the dogs ran around and played. One day I realise I haven't seen her in months, get a little worried but I know nothing about her beyond her first name and what we chatted about so I move on and just keep doing my thing, hoping she's okay.
About a year/18 months later I'm sat on a bench chilling by the lake and a big brown Staffy just bolts out of nowhere, rests her head in my lap and just stays there, refusing to budge. A few seconds later I remember my vegan buddy and realise this dog is IDENTICAL to hers. Same colour, markings the whole nine yards and go "Poppy?!" She wags her tail so hard her whole back end is shaking and nuzzles deeper into me. 100% sure this is the same dog I start looking around hoping to see her wandering up for a chat like old times but she's nowhere to be seen and a little old lady is hurrying over very apologetically to reign in her dog.
We get talking and it turns out she's only had this dog (she called her Belle) for about 8 months, got her from the RSPCA and she's had a tough time getting her to be calm since she adopted her and nuzzled up to me is apparently the calmest she's ever seen her.
To this day I'm absolutely certain Belle was in fact Poppy and I've this feeling that my casual vegan buddy died (or worse killed herself) and her pup recognized me after so long and wanted comfort from a familiar face.
Ever since I can't go more than a day or two without remembering her, worrying and hoping she's doing well.
Kinda wish the dog stayed with you :(
@@19Daniela97 Would've taken her in a heartbeat. Beautiful dog. Smart and sweet but also bratty and sassy. Like a spoilt muscle bound princess.
Damn. Why does this feel so similar to me in a way? Sorry if I sound a bit odd, this comment just sparked something within me.
wait isnt that the vegan teacher from tiktok??? it lowkeys sounds like her
@@Melonlord12345 No, unfortunately that one's still alive.
95% of the comments are about meeting the strangers.
Might as well do the same
I met a stranger (a kid) at a party who gave me an oreo.
The last oreo.
He sacrificed his last oreo just to give it to me
I'm 23
This deserves more likes 😂
Omg such a good kid😂
this is soooo cuuuuute xD
I would give that kid a whole store of oreos
Dam....
When i was 9 I was on a vacation with my parents. We were staying in a hotel and one night i met this girl she was maybe 16-17 and we played tag you're it. After a few minutes a stranger picked me up in his arms and took me in his room. I didn't scream because i didn't know what was going on but immediately that girl knocked on his door and told him that she was my sister and he can't just do that. He got scared and let me go and I will forever remember her because she saved my life that night. I am 17 now and I will forever be thankful to her I hope she is doing really good.
Woah shes awesome
Omfg.... 😭 that touched me. God bless her I’m so grateful that you’re good. I hope the best for both of you 💖💖
you are lucky
Thank god. She is the embodiment of an amazing person.
Maybe she was your guardian angel
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.
Every morning as I drove to school I would see a small old woman with her very large (and very old) dog. They would walk the same route every day at their slow pace together and I always remember seeing the dog’s cute swaying and wobbly way of walking because of how old it was. I’d see them each morning without fail as I drove by and it always made me smile. One morning, as I was looking out the window I noticed I didn’t see them walking together and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. The next day I recall driving by and seeing the old woman- she was walking alone with a tissue in her hand. I’ll never forget that day.
A fallen angel
damn I was crying earlier but I ran out of tears sry man
This one broke me
Okay you didn't have to kill me like that
Wide Dog
I was crossing the street. He was crossing the street from the other side. Our eyes met. He smiled at me and I was stupid enough not to stop for a small talk. That was certainly the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. It's been about 4 years now, and that smile is still haunting me. If I find you some day I will ask you to marry me.
Ahah that's the kind of people you met and hate yourself for didn't do something and ran away
That's beautiful
oof
How old are you now? It'll be wonderfull if you'd really find him.... but what if one day you'll met that particular guy and finally get to talk to him but when that time comes, you are already married? Kinda sad to imagine tho😢
ugh the same thing happened to me. i accidentally made eye contact with this guy and he had such pretty eyes they were like blue/green but then we just passed each other and even though it was close to where i live i haven't seen him since
That 2nd story about the Vietnamese man really got me. 😕
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 !
AW
Beautiful ❤ thanks for sharing.
I was 28 in Rio de Janeiro, and I saw a pregnant homeless woman with a child. She was sleeping on the street on a bed of cardboard. I was drunk at the time so I didn't talk to her and scare her kids, but when I got a little further away I burst into tears. I had just spent so much money drinking and eating at a restaurant with my girlfriend, and it felt so superficial and wrong that I had spent so much on something so meaningless. I walked a bit further down the street, and bought some takeaway, brought it back, but she was gone, and I never got the chance to give her that meal.
Czarewich At least you tried. God bless hugs
you’re a very kind person! it’s clear you acknowledge and appreciate the luxuries you have, so don’t feel guilty about enjoying them. hopefully that woman finds an easier life thanks to other good people like you :)
wow
I'm from Brazil and this really touched my heart. Your intention was really good, boy
:(
I remember this little girl that gave me her coloring page at a restaurant, and her mom apologized, but I just thought it was adorable. I still have the drawing :) it made my day. I know it sound silly. She just said “here you go” in the cutest voice and my heart just melted Edit: I’m sorry but why does this have so many likes
that's actually so cute 💞💞
I've had the same experience, but then it eventually felt weird to keep holding on to it and I had to let it go.
Your profile pick!
Lance Mclain your name AND profile pic!!
@candy girl you like candies? Here is one🍡
Mine was when a guy asked me "are you happy?" I honestly froze and I couldn't answer, then he told me "your shirt." I didn't notice it was written on my shirt. Lol
Oh someone mistook me as their child and they were soo super embarrassed and one I went to chucky cheese and the guy in the chucky cheese mascot came up to me and he scared me mind you this is when I took karate and uh I might have kicked and punched him in one swift move like BAM BAM yaaaaeh let's just say I never went back
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 💕
all these answers are deep. my memory is that one time i was at a restaurant and this old man waved me over. i went to his table and he opened his bag. there was a baby kangaroo inside. a baby freaking kangaroo. that was 9 years ago and i haven’t forgotten.
You literally met Santa Claus or something because that's honestly crazy lmao. I hope he's living his best life.
Hes freaking Mary Poppins, what the actual heck.
Your answer gave me a genuine laugh lol!!
that is truly amazing wth
Do you live in Australia?
When I first started my job I had a cut on my arm from a box in the shipment i was doing that day and as I was ringing out an older lady I saw her glimpse at the cut and get flustered...She handed me her change with a shaking hand and then gently grabbed my arm and said “sweetie, you are beautiful and whatever is troubling you is just temporary. I’m glad you’re still here. No more of this ok?” Bec she thought I was a cutter...at that time I was actually at my darkest mentally and was contemplating some things, so for her to go out of her way to show that she cared(even though she didn’t know me), it was such a big deal to me. I went in the back room and literally cried...I still remember her face and think about her a lot bec I’m so grateful.
Amber Burbo I think I’m crying
Mia Washington Lol I’m sorry!!
@ Amber Burbo I am taking a moment to thank God that you are here. To thank you for telling your story. I hope that someone else that is needed in this world reads your story and knows that there are others that love and care for them also. Thank you so much and blessed be! 💝 You are a gift!!!
Stacie Wagner thank you so much. That meant a lot to me. God definitely had a plan for me, I’m now working my dream job and loving every second of it. May god do the same for others as he did for me ❤️
Amber Burbo this made me cry I do t even know why it’s just so beautiful and the woman was so kind bdjabdhsxs
There was a young man i saw once or twice with a few of my friends at a local coffee shop sitting all alone. He had a clear disability and he ordered a coke and a cake. This one occasion, we sat near him and smiled, but apart from that we carried on with our conversation. While talking we started making a few jokes, followed by a genuine and appreciative laugh. We looked over and we saw that he was listening to our conversation since he was alone and thoroughly enjoyed our company. Me and my friends kept on making jokes to make him laugh again since it really touched our hearts. I think he saw us as somewhat friends and it has really stuck with me ever since.
It's so sweet that you and your friends did that ❤️
That is so kind.
Sad that u didn't get the chance to get to know his name
My heart 😭😭😭😭
jenny that’s dope! I don’t know if situations offer this opportunity to you but, maybe invite him to sit with you the next time?:)
I wish I can be a stranger to be remembered in people's lives in a good way. It just remembers me that every day and every encounter is an opportunity to make a difference in someone's life.
You can be. The littlest things can make someone’s day.
How do you know you aren't? How could you possible know what a beautiful impact you had on someone?
*Comments* : all telling positive stories
*Me* : y’all the strangers I will always remember ❣️
Jadey Sabajo ❤️
All I can find is where people were trying to commit suicide that's unsettling
Oh stop it
I feel so loved.💜❤️
Not- Important youre important! important to me. i wanna talk to you.. you’re loved by me!!!
I was a teen mom. My son had just turned 3 and we were standing in the guest service line at a grocery store. I was stressed out and doing everything I could to hold back tears. My little boy pointed to a water fountain nearby and asked if he could have a drink. I nodded yes, and as I watched him walk away I started to cry. I was wiping away my tears embarrassed to be crying in public. A woman approached me as she was leaving the store. She put her hand on my shoulder and said, "you're a good mom." Then she walked away. When you're a teen mom people are constantly looking at you and criticizing everything you do. In the three years since he was born she was the only person who told me I was doing a good job. She may just be a regular human being but I'll always remember her as an angel.
Beautiful story, hope you’re doing good ❤️
Hope you are doing good...even though I don't understand what u are going through because I am a boy 😂...u are still special and never care about what people think about u...just leave them be😊
She might just be one :)
Damn you, I just put on my eye makeup to go out... You are ruining it! 😂
This almost made me cry. Hope you're doing okay now.
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.
Tiege Hanley what? are you being serious?
Skyler Stark did it feel good tho
Thank you for this!
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
