Who's 1 stranger that you still remember? (Strangers Answer)

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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”.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 :)

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

[@Scorpio37]

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.

[@triplet2381]

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.

The exact same thing is happening to me now.

I LITERALLY told the principal about 7 hours ago.

[@desertedpearlO]

There was this kid I saw on the bus. He was probably 16 years old and he had fresh cuts all over both of his arms (shoulder to wrist). I used to self harm so this really struck my heart. I saw him about to get off the bus. Although I was 2 bus stops away from my stop I decided last minute to get off the bus with him. The bus doors actually closed in my face but I looked to the front at the bus driver and he reopened the doors for me. I got off the bus and I nervously stood beside this kid. I had no idea what to say. Finally when I got the courage I said “are you ok?” He replied “yeah... um... what do you mean?” So I said “well I just saw your arms and I wanted to make sure you were ok. Are you doing ok?” He was so caught off guard. He said “Oh... well it’s just been a really hard week.” “Yeah, do you want to talk about it? I know you are probably waiting for your bus but do you want to come for a walk with me?” I asked. He said yes. So we went for a walk and I found out what was going on. He was in a group home because some problems with his mom but he really missed her. I encouraged him that someday things will get better for him and to hold on. I told him I used to cut myself too but things got better for me and now I’m in college and I’m doing what I want. We reached the end of the street and I told him that I believed in him and I promised things would get better for him. Then I asked him if I could give him a hug and he said yes. So I gave him a big hug and we went our separate ways. I’ve never seen him since but I still think of him all the time. I hope you’re ok kid ❤️❤️ someone is always thinking of you. You’ll always have a place in my heart.

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.

[@faithnelson6069]

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.

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 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’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.

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’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 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.

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 💕

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.

Out of nowhere I saw a homeless man fast approaching me while I was still on the ground. I was nervous at first, but he just wanted to help and see if I was ok. He helped me up and across the street. I asked some people there, and even the owner of a local shop I frequented if I could please borrow a phone to call someone to pick me up. None of them would help me. But then then the homeless man reached in his pocket and grabbed a giant fistful of change and placed it in my hand so that I could use a phone booth to call someone. He said to take as much as I needed. He also waited with me until my ride showed up to make sure I got home safe. He told me "I live off of the streets, but I love to give back whenever I can". I never saw him again.

After I came forward about my rape, I was sat in the waiting room in the hospital. I just gotten a rape kit done and I was told my Aunt would be picking me up since police were investigating my home. I was 11. I remember sitting in the waiting room, in one of the three chairs that were against the wall of windows that overlooked the parkinglot and I was alone with my bookbag and I was terrified. But a security guard who heard about me from the medical staff came to the waiting room and he told me something I'll never forget. "You can cry, you deserve to give yourself a break." And I broke down and I cried, I allowed myself to feel the fear and pain that I held in for the last few years while I was being abused. I learned that not all men are horrible and that sometimes, they understand you need to cry. I'll never forget him.

Thanks for sharing your very emotional story with the comment section. Your story touched my heart in a way, that I am not able to explain. I hope you are ok right now and doing well !

[@tms174]

At first, I glanced over your comment, moved but anxious to rush on. Trying to not get it to my heart, trying to brush it off like most things I encounter in life. And I honestly dont really know why I stayed. Not to dishrace you. But reading comment after comment sets you, or at least me, into a state of „oh thats bad, lets move on“. Not really being able to focus on the true impact something like that will have on your life. I struggled to find words. I rejected attempt after attempt. That doesnt help you to know. Neither will I be able to find the allmighty words, to fix them all (got the reference?;). I wont say thanks for sharing, even though I am grateful you did. Opening yourself to somebody can be so difficult. I, for my part, wasnt able to tell the girl I love for now about eight years, that I love her. I wish i did. Therefore I wont say thanks for sharing, but congratulate you on such a difficult but hopefully ultimately best path to choose. I thought of many life advises, but what do I know;) You maybe wont read it and I really cant ask of you anything, Im after all just a stranger, but I really would be happy if you would respond. Just something simple, some sign of life. Thanks! And since we probably wont ever see us or anybody going to read this in the future, I wish you a wonderful life!

[@bee7137]

@@tms174 @tm‘s I honestly wrote this comment just to get it off my chest. I don't really talk to my family about what happened that day, or really about anything from when I was being abused. Finding comfort in writing a comment under a video that lots of people relate to is probably one of the best ways to admit things you've never talked about. I'm sorry to hear that you weren't able to tell the person you love that you really do love them. I haven't experienced love or romance yet, so I can't say I know how you feel or that it'll get better. People will tell it that it'll be okay, that it happened for a reason but does anyone find that comforting? It's unfortunate that my life is one of those life stories that motivate and inspire other people. But I'm glad it's able to help someone who is in a different, but emotionally similar situation. I don't have any life advice either, I'm not old enough to give any. So far, I've learned that being honest to yourself will help you get up easier in the morning. Take care of yourself, I hope you do well in the future.

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

[@skylerstark8770]

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.

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.

[@ElizabethGilliess]

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.

One time I went to Trader Joe’s in a short sleeved dress after cutting myself a few days prior and the lady at the register who was checking me out was like “I’ll brb” and she came back and gave me a bouquet of flowers and told me I looked beautiful.

[@JA-im9xs]

The world aren't perfect and so is us , everyone has their struggle and imperfection. I know that some people feel ashamed because of their difference , thier looks , their hobby , their mind. But is okay to be different , is okay to be yourself because no one is perfect. Is okay to take time when going through something. We all have different talent , different struggle and different experience. Even our experience aren't the same but that's okay , because we aren't meant to be the same. We are meant to be different and unique in our own ways. Like Steven universe said : if every pork chop were perfect , we wouldn't have hot dog. ☺️ Live for yourself and be kind to yourself because when there are no one around , you still have yourself. Love yourself like the one you loved. I don't know what you had gone through but I really hope you are doing okay now. Stay strong. ❤️

[@ashtonnn777]

I was a cashier at a clothing store. I was about to help a customer when she suddenly went ape on me. Asking me what I was doing there I don't belong there etc. I was shocked. Just when I was about to go mental on her. She got out a pen and paper wrote down her number and told me to use her as a reference. Turns out I used to care for her mother when I did my training as a carer and she thought I was the best there was. I didn't get the certificate cause it turned out the place was not accredited so I couldn't get work as a carer. With her reference I applied at a nursing home when I got there for the interview I was told they won't interview me cause of the glowing reference. Got the best job of my life due to that lady. I will never forget her.

[@ayishaks6510]

I truly believe a person should behave their best everywhere they go, because you never know who you will meet again. A stranger on the train may be a future boss, relative or neighbour. 💕

i was at a pride event in my relatively small, conservative town (it was a big deal, especially since the turnout was great). even though i should've been celebrating myself and the friends i was with, i was overwhelmingly insecure. i felt uncomfortable in the shirt i was wearing - i thought people around me were judging me for my weight. anyway, i was talking to my friend when this girl walked up. i couldn't tell exactly what she looked like (masks!), but she had gorgeous eye makeup on. she told me i was really pretty. she went out of her way to say that to me, and it made my day. i still think about this, especially since i've been complimented by strangers only a handful of times in my life. i cherish those compliments, because they always make me feel beautiful.

[@loric4423]

Eliza! You ARE beautiful!

[@xx-nicogoblin-xx5455]

It means a lot that those compliments actually mean stuff to other people. I am the type to randomly compliment someone on the street, just because I genuinely liked that thing about them, as well as the fact that I may have been the first person to tell them that, and it’s important that they know. One time I complimented presumabl non-binary person on their hair and they looked surprised and happy, and my friend said, ‘Hey, they look like that’s the first time they’ve ever heard that.’ And it brought me so much genuine joy and that’s why I keep doing it.

[@alaskaone]

@@xx-nicogoblin-xx5455 I do the same thing lol. I know I internalize any compliments so I try to do the same for others.
