Hey Pandas, What Is Something A Stranger Did To You To Make Your Day Brighter? (Closed)

I was in a very very bad mood, one year day to day after my dad died. I was in dark clothes, no make up. A young girl around 7/8 years old came from nowhere and told me: « you are the most beautiful dark witch of the world». I remember this girls every year since. She changed the most sad day of the year to a beautiful memory.

I was 14 going to take my home coming pictures and a little girl came up to me and asked if she could take a photo with me . Later the mom came and said thank you she thought you where a princess! I will never forget that !!

I got forced into riding my first roller coaster by my father and then best friend when I was about 12 or 13. I had my first panic attack getting on it and they weren't allowed to let me ride in that state. But instead of just sending me off to sit by myself and wait for the ride to end and them to get off one of the teenage workers stood outside with me to talk to me and calm me down. He told me it was okay and told me funny stories about times he had been embarrassed so I didn't feel as bad. And he told me to always stick up for myself and to not let people push me around. He was honestly the nicest person ever and I still remember his advice and how much he helped me. I wish I could thank him agine.

A) everyone on bp has been helping me with mental health
B) the family i am currently living with took me in when i had no where else to go

So, two years ago I was out with my friends on Halloween. I'd dressed up as a Ravenclaw student and was anxious to see if anyone else had put on an HP costume as well. Towards the end of the evening, I was walking home and suddenly I noticed a Gryffindor student who looked about sixteen years of age. When we saw each other, we both burst out in squeals and ran over and hugged, exploding in questions and happiness that other potterheads were out there, jumping up and down like the floor was made of hot coals.

Still don't know what her name was.

They let me pet their dogs. I love animals

It was a hot summer's day. I was on my way to work, wearing a white tiered maxi skirt, a red sleeveless top and red high heels. A little boy saw me and just froze. His dad asked him what was wrong, he stammered: "sleeping beauty!!" and then ran straight into my arms for a hug. Needless to say, I felt like a princess all day!

A bunch of strangers gave me tips on how to deal with anxiety on a recent ask pandas post. it's the closest i have come to crying about something on the internet.

Just said hi. Some days that is all I need to help my day be a little better.

When my family had just moved to a new town we were having a hard time working and building our new house with three young kids a old lady at church offered to babysit me and my brothers for free, ever since then my family has always been friends with her and even after we moved away we would always visit her in the summer (we met through zoom this year) this year she celebrated her 92 birthday!

I remember once when I was having trouble with loving myself, I was walking around and a stranger came up to me and said, "Wow, you have such a pretty face! I remember when I was a youthful teenage girl like you..." And when I got home I looked in the mirror and said, "Wow, I am kind of pretty" and I really owe it to that woman she made my day.

gave me a dollar to pay for my stuff at walmart lmao

Me, my dad, and my little bro (3), all went to Little Ceasers to get a pizza for dinner because my mom was at work. The woman handed us our pizza, and my dad gave her his credit card. It declined twice, and my dad started to hand the pizza back, apologizing for the inconvenience. She said take it, it's on us. She was very kind :)

some old stranger came up to me and said I was beautiful, turns out, the person was my dad in a wig, and mask, and different clothes

I usually smile and wave, even if I'm feeling down, and they say have a good day and automatically I feel better.

When I was about 12 I was running late to catch my train to school. To make it worse I also tripped on the stairs to the platform and the train was alread standing there... I got up and ran like crazy, with m heavy backpack, kinda limping, so more like a hobble run... just to see the train getting in motion... I stopped... hung my head and was about to burst out in tears... then the train stopped and opened the first door to let me in.
That was one of the kindest gestures I have received in my life and still remember it every day I ride the train (am 32 now).
Once I was on the train I noticed my knee was actually cut open and bleeding like crazy... but bcs of the cold, stress and I guess shock I rly had not noticed that at all up til then XD

I was walking back from a rough day at school and a complete stranger walked up to me and asked if I wanted to pet his dogs (I guess he could see my disappointment and anger on my face). I said "yes, please" and I played and petted his adorable dogs for while which made me feel so happy. I kept thinking about the moment which is why I still remember it 7 years later. Btw. Pets are awesome

When I'm in a store with no make up and i'm confronted with strangers that say "You have such a lovely face! You're so pretty honey!" and they give me a hug. it really makes my day when people say something so nice to someone they don't know

i was in a store and someone said that they liked my mask. I had a sans skeleton face mask on that I loved and it made me happy that someone else liked it too

In 3rd grade at recess I would hide underneath the play jungle because I had no friends and I saw two girls that were l.a.r.p.-ing (live action role playing) and one of them came up to me and she ended up being my best friend. I am now in 8th grade and I think that I have a crush on her... she is straiter than a line. I am %100 Lesbian.
