What's the kindest thing you've been told? (Strangers Answer) 

When I bumped into my fourth grade teacher 10 years later and she told me my poem is in a frame hanging in her bed room ❤️

“You’re meant to love your family. That’s a given. But I like you, kid. Do you hear what I’m saying? I LIKE you.” -my gruff 80 yr old grandpa, whispering to me at a large family dinner

My brother telling me he was proud of me for graduating high school. He died five days later 💔😭

“You’re my 10 million dollars” - My Dad

“I aspire to be you, you find joy in such the littlest of things” -A girl in my class

The nicest thing someone said to me was.. _"You're gonna do something great that's why i call you precious..."_ -my grandma

The kindest thing someone has said to me was my son (11 yrs old). So this one day, we were running errands together. After our 2nd or 3rd errand, we got back in the car. Then he said, “Mom, every person you talked to, you gave them compliments. You’re so nice.” Honestly, I didn’t even know I was doing that. My son noticing and pointing that out made me feel special.

This comment section is so worth reading. Thank you.

I swear i cannot watch this channel without letting any tear drop.

my boyfriend once told me i'm the yellowist person he's ever met. this was maybe 3 months after we started dating and i was telling him how much i liked the color yellow. i said "yellow is such a pretty color" and he reponds with "well you're the yellowist person i've ever met." idk its very simple but it made me realize how much he really adored me and paid attention to me.

"You're the reason I'm here." -my sister after she came out of the mental hospital for self-harming

''you're a hero, I'm very proud of you, we all are." - my high school principal after i saved my best friend from a suicide attempt

"You've made so much progress since I started seeing you, I'm proud of you." -My therapist

"Don't be sad. I love you like the sea and the sky" That's what my baby sister with down syndrome told me. The thing is I was so depressed at the time but I was fighting each day and I never let it show and would always play with my baby sisters (who are twins, both with down syndrome ) I would take care of them and paint a smile on. When she said that, my tears immediately rolled down my face, but I felt like I could smile for real for the first time in years.

"I'm proud of the man you've become and I love you." I've needed to hear that since I was 19. I'm 45.

When a friend told me “I couldn’t look at you for too long...It was like looking into the sun.”

"Don't worry about me just focus on your studies and your future i will support you no matter what, even if i have to work in such an old age" - my mom

The nicest thing anyone has told me is that my teacher, the sweetest man on earth, told me that I really reminded him of his mom who recently passed away. Her favorite color was yellow. She also said that she loved his eyes. When I was president for the day, my teacher helped me out because I wasn’t sure what to do. I was controlling the whole school, or at least felt like it (I was about 7 or 8 at the time). At some point, I told him that his eyes were beautiful and that I saw a tint of yellow in them. I didn’t know that that was when his mother just died, I just blurted it out. Later when I left the school, he told me the story and left me in tears. He is still my favorite teacher to this day.

Once I was told by a complete stranger that I was really beautiful. Anytime I ever felt ugly I always thought of her words. I've been wanting to pay it forward since then and compliment a stranger but I often feel too awkward or creepy saying it so I just say nothing. To anyone reading this though, I think you're beautiful. Also, try to compliment more strangers, it might totally make their day and maybe stick with them for the rest of their lives. (Just try to do it tastefully so you don't come across as just creepy)

"I think your cute too" -my crush, I struggle a lot with insecurity with my looks and my body.

Coming from a dark place rn, hearing these kind words make my heart whole

i was walking to the bathroom in school & a girl stopped me & looked me in the eyes and said “your really beautiful” and that just meant a lot to me.

the kindest thing i’ve ever been told was “you remind me of 1 corinthians 13:4-8 “love is patient. love is kind. it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud...” i’m not a religious person but that really made me cry

" You are the most understanding human being " i felt so complete with myself

Kindest thing anyone ever said to me was my father.I am an artist and I thought he disapproved of my choice of career? He was Greek and an immigrant amd wanted everything for me? He said to me after I had turned away from art for a while quote" You have a gift from God why would you turn away from your calling, some people never get to receive the gift?" It has stayed with me everyday for 30 years.I love you Papa.xxx

Once a teacher told me "I believe in you", and that touched me a lot because i was at a time where i didn't believe in myself..

„I’ve allways wanted to have a mom like you” - my 3 year old daughter. It made me tear up a bit, and I felt like every love i needed and wanted to feel finally found me.

My English teacher once said: "you are special. You're gonna make it big. We'll all watch you on TV and newspapers. " It really means a lot.

"Yes" -My parents when I asked to get my ear pierced at 9 years old, when I asked to get my hair dyed at 10 and when I asked to get a eyeshadow pallete last October. I'm a 15 year old dude. Edit: .... nevermind 😞

"There is nothing in this world you could do that would disappoint me." - My Mother (Hope it makes sence. Had to translate that from german into englisch)

"This is my daughter." - my stepdad

"I consider you my family" -my best friend, it meant a lot because she doesn't have a good relationship with her mother and it was nice to know that she cared for me that much even when I'm not always a good friend

“I believe in you and I always will, even when you don’t believe in yourself.” -mother 💙

Once I was listening music with my mother, we were laughing, at that time I was very sad (thinking about suicide, she didn´t know anything), and then my mom stopped the music and started crying, she said "I´m very glad that you´re alive.

My best friend told me she loved the sound of my voice. I've never felt more cared for than when she said that

"You are such a Loyal Friend" that makes me feel worthy..

"I'm proud of you, kiddo." - my theater director after my first performance in a lead role. he's not a very affectionate person but he's become like a father to me. i have a shitty home life and bad relationship with my parents so he's the person i want to make proud. he hugged me and then put a hand on my shoulder and looked into my eyes and said that and i started crying. he thought i was crying cuz of how emotional i'd gotten on stage. but it was him. idk he's changed my life.

My grandaughter, was falling asleep on my lap and whispered you're my favorite.

The kindest thing someone told me was that “you’re the only reason I believe that good people exist” I absolutely love your videos! Watching these is the highlight of my day❤️

The kindest thing I’ve been told: When I was in fifth grade i started talking to this girl (Alyssa) and we instantly became best friends (I knew her for longer but we never really talked) We used to have a lot of sleepovers and stuff. One day her mom said to me ‘You know, you’re one of the nicest friends of Alyssa that has ever stayed here’ I just didn’t know how to react to that because no one has ever said something like that to me. I still think about that a lot and it’s just one of the kindest things that someone has ever said to me. But when when we were in 7th grade her mom passed away and I was really hurt so I can’t even imagine how my friend felt. Her mom was always so nice to me and always made me feel better. And now, even tho we don’t see each other that much anymore, she still comes to me when she has like questions or struggles she would normally tell her mom and I’m really glad that I can be there for her. (I’m sorry if it’s long or that my English is bad) but Alyssa, if you’re ready this, you’re so amazing, strong and hardworking. You deserve so many good things

I became friends with this kid who was the joke of the school. He would run around acting like a lunatic and making people laugh, but nobody ever really talked to him for anything other than entertainment. So when he told me that I was "a real one" after spending a few months just talking and having lunch together, I decided that as long as I am alive, I'll try to be the real one for anyone like him. Thanks Archie. You're the realest person I've met, and I'll never forgrt what you told me ❤

I remember that day when my teacher showed me her daughter's picture and told me "I hope my daughter will be like you somday ". 💖

" you are more beautiful and strong then you know" -My first bf that treated me like a person

"you are a light of joy" my class before i moved to another school

My college writing professor told me that I could be “the Puerto Rican Toni Morrison” after writing about a very violent and traumatic event in my life that I was reluctant to share.

“If you didn’t exist they would have to create you” it’s an Italian saying that translates to:”Se non esistessi ti dovrebbero inventare” and it just left me speechless and so happy

"You CAN be who you want to be, even if everything in this world is stopping you from becoming, well, you."

"You should smile more, you look more beautiful when you smile" - A guy in my class who likes me. and because of that, I smile more boosting my self-esteem and giving me more confidence compared before.

"Your laugh and smile is contagious and makes everyone around you instantly happier" ~ This was said by one of my friends while we were standing in line with a group of others waiting to get our pictures taken for track :)

That one girl that said she loved it when people tell her that they like her smile is so beautiful and cute

"Thank You. You really are a great person." - a girl in my camp cabin

I think the kindest thing I've been told was " I'm proud of you" I'm 21 and no one ever said that to me before my boyfriend this year. He's the kindest person I've ever met. I teaches me to love myself and that's the most precious gift he could ever give me. Thank you for your videos, it's beautiful to see strangers sharing that kind of things. People are more kind than we think, we just all need to be more open.

Not really words, but my little niece always gets this bright, happy look on her face when I sing to her. She laughs if it's a silly song or I sing it in a silly way, and she sings along with me. I've always wanted to work for Disney, so she makes me feel like a Disney princess. Making little kids smile is the best thing ever to me.

" respect your sister!" my dad told my brother to respect me . 🧡🧡🧡

What Peter (and also the man before) said in the end was very true and beautiful. We often don't realize what an impact a kind feedback can have. Thank you for all your videos, they really get me everytime! And I must say you really must be such a good and loving and trusting person because so many people are sharing so personal intimate stories with you!

my good friend wrote “you make me feel like i deserve to be loved” and damn that hit me hard. i’ve been blessed with people who’ve said many kind things to me but that one sticks out to me.

Kindest thing anyone has ever said to me is, “ Well I think you’re perfect ” By my crush, two days ago, I told him my insecurities and how I have anxiety, and he said that

I was walking in the grocery store, and this older woman said to my mom, “You have a very beautiful daughter.” That has always stuck with me.

One of the kindest things I was told was "you're so comfortable to talk to,it's like I'm not being judge and I can get all my feelings out for you freely ... and you have a beautiful laugh that makes feel happy" it was by a classmate, they were asking me for some advice on how to deal with studies and it was one of the most beautiful things I ever heard .she also called me a "therapist" because she found talking to me theraputic .it just felt nice to know that I was doing it right ..caring for others because I've always felt like I was a failure at supporting others especially after having one of my closest friends attempting suicide although I tried to stop her and help her through it .and my ex bestfriend used to hide everythin and despite how hard I tried to help her I never did ...for once I felt like I've done something right and it coming from a classmate not a close friend also meant the world to me because it felt genuine

1- I love you ❤️ 2- will you marry me? 3- it's a girl

I've had many rough days/nights, and I remember one specific night that I was crying my eyes out and told my best friend that I really truly didn't want to live anymore. He drove to my place without telling me and just showed up. I cried in his arms for like 30 mins, and then he asked me if I wanted some McDonald's. Of course my fat ass said yes, but after we ate he said "Hannah, you do so much for others and leave nothing for yourself. You need to start seeing yourself how I see you. You're such a good person and I appreciate the shit out of you". It just hit me so hard since no one has ever really told me anything like that before. We're planning on moving in together next month :) he has done so much for me and I'm so excited to leave my family and just be in such a fun and loving home

"im so proud of you ...i love you so much " i said it to myself

‘You have a heart of gold’ ‘When you smile and are always cheerful you’re so beautiful’

“Never stop being who you are.”

" you're the most caring and sweet person I've ever met in my whole life "... a lot of people told me that ( my friends my ex and my teacher too )

Thoraya, you are definitely one of the most beautiful souls, I love you for being so human and I wish you the best in life. Thank you for doing this.

I would like to thank that man for reading that poem. I went and found it after listening to him several times. I sent it to several friends and family, and I posted it on my homepage. It is a beautiful poem that speaks the truth.

"You are a role model to me and everything I've achieved I got by aiming on being like you." My younger brother said to me on his wedding day. I've struggled with low self-esteem all my life, always thinking I didn't know enough, wasn't good enough. In the meantime, my brother was the best at everything he did, got a preety nice job just out of college, earning much more than I could ever dream about, and was invited to work abroad. He got everything right and I, 4 years older, kept comparing myself to him, belittling myself at the same time I was proud of him. His speech was like a punch on my soul and I tear up even by just remembering it. I just hope I can make him proud of my acomplishments just as I am of his.

Throraya, I have studied and loved film for most of my life. I don't know if you've gone to film school, (though I don't think that's always necessary, or makes a great filmmaker) but you are a naturally gifted, wonderful artist/filmmaker. Your work seems to come from the heart, no bells or whistles needed. Thank you for that. Your work always touches and inspires me deeply. Keep following your heart, and bring your camera! Also, I think you are Greek, but your last name could be Hungarian, as I am half. What is your background? I wish you so many good things. One Love.

You DO bring out the best in people! Thanks Thoraya! You are an awesome soul.

Honestly, I can’t remember someone saying a really nice thing to me that stays in my mind forever 😬. I mean there were a few times someone told me I’m pretty but that’s actually it... as I am thinking about it that’s kinda sad because I always try to be my best but it’s okay😂 I plan to give some people really nice compliments about their personality the next days♥️

"You'll never know how much I love you." It wasn't said by a family member or a girlfriend. Not even by a best friend. Just a friend of mine that I talk to once every week or two.

"There must be some kind of supernatural shit going on to make your hands so soft!!!" -Hilarious compliment from my first boyfriend

I loved that poem I'm so happy he memorized it and shared it!!!!

the best thing for me if i wish someone would say "Your so happy you motivate me to be you shine and i want to follow"

Damn! I cant even think of one myself🤔

"You deserve to be alive and you deserve to be loved " my husband

When I came out as gay my parents told me that no matter what, they will love me always, and nothing's gonna change that.

"You have so much potential. I can't wait to see what you do with it" - Miss Nicholson, my Grade 3 teacher. I wish I could tell you I made you proud 💜

“Don’t tell anyone but you’re my favorite” -My great grandmother

"I'm going to miss you so much... I'm using your journey as an example to all my patients" - my therapist of 3.5 years

“Thank you for being my friend when people judged me.” -My friend in 7th Grade.

“When you hug me, I feel like I matter.” Kindest thing anyone has ever said to me.

"God sends me his angels." - an old man that I tried to help find his way back home in the subway.

You're so brave. If I was in your shoes I wouldn't make it. - my psychiatrist

“When you laugh, it’s like you sparkle” - my older sister

"No matter what has happened between you two... when you fall in love again with someone new, come visit me and bring him with you. You will always be my granddaughter." -My ex's grandfather after me and my ex broke up. Such a sweet, amazing man who will always be considered family

Imagine how simplest of words can make someone's day. I realised it after hearing the Hijabi woman. This world needs love and care.

"are you okay? you don't have to make everyone happy all the time if it makes you tired"

Christmas Day, 2014, the tumor in my mom's breast burst and covered her remaining lung. She could barely talk let alone breath by the time the ambulance reached the ER... The doctor told us she wasn't going to make it, but my mom already knew that. Then she said something to me (in a very weak, whisper) shortly before moving her to the room she died in... 5 years later I asked my dad if she ever said anything to him at the hospital before she passed. He said she didn't speak to anyone after she got the news... My mother's last words were: "Son, you are the best thing that ever happened to me."

"Everything is gonna be okay," -The voices in my head

"don't forget to mention me when you're president" -my fourth grade social studies teacher

One day I gave a piece of chocolate to the guy that became my boyfriend since, but that was at the very beginning, he had just moved to my class. When we started talking, one day, out of the blue he said "I don't know if angels exist but I do believe some people come from heaven" I said "I agree like people who are always nice, the ones who laugh all the time..." and he added "the ones that give you chocolate out of the blue" I was having a very bad day and he didn't know it. It was so unexpected, it was the sweetest thing.

Kindest thing anyone has said to me was, “Thanks for being my friend”. Idk why but it really touched my heart.

“I hope my daughters grows up to be just like you” - my economics professor

I’ve actually met the woman at 0:22 . She worked at a clinic near me and she was so sweet. I wanted to say something to her about her scarf and how it was brave because I first met her sometime after the 2016 election. She has such a sweet spirit.

a teacher at school told me "you have a light that ive never seen before. you are gonna change the world someday."

The kindest thing any one has said to me is No I was in a really bad mental state and I was saying goodbye to my 3 year old brother and he told me no and hugged me.

My biological father hasn’t been in my life since I was 15, but God was so good to me that he brought me a father figure and I remember in a conversation he said to me “I feel sad for your dad because he’s the one who missed out on a wonderful and beautiful daughter.” It really healed a lot of the hurt inside of me when I was feeling like I wasn’t worthy or enough to have my bio dad in my life.

You should do “whats the best memory from your childhood or who’s someone that helped you through ur hardest times”
