Text - xKvinnan • 19h I was two weeks into my first job in high school and it was miserable. The manager's personal life was falling apart and she was taking it out on us, most of my coworkers wouldn't give me the time of day, plus I had to deal with everything that came with working fast food, dealing with horrible customers etc. I was planning on quitting by the end of the week. One day I wore my hair to work a little bit different (I was growing out my bangs at the time and I left them down i

Text - whitey115 • 21h When I was in high school I was put in a special math class for students that weren't so good in the subject. We learned the same things but the class just went at a slower pace. I took AP English and History classes but math and science were essentially foreign concepts to me I guess so I kind of needed it. In 10th grade the math teacher my special math class was assigned to was Mr. Smith (not real name. Mr. Smith was the football couch and just had a reputation for being

Text - Altruistic_Pumpkin • 21h My Chinese (she was from China, came to US for grad school) roommate told me I was better at using chopsticks than her. I think she just meant I use them in a more formal way, but I don't care, I was super thrilled anyway. I loved living with her Reply 2.5k ...

Text - sealcrab • 21h 1 Award When I was about 15, very depressed and with body dysmorphia, my mum and I visited the perfume floor of harrods. I was there in a hoodie with unwashed hair and too anxious to speak to any of the staff. When we got to one of the perfume shops and sat down, the very gentlemanly salesman told me I had a beautiful smile. After talking a little with my mum and giving her a few testers, he gave me a tester he said I might like, and he'd written the name of the perfume on

Text - Lucky_Ranger • 20h A super cute guy working in a food truck took my order and said to the cook "one burger and fries for this beautiful girl right here". Then when he gave me my food he said "here you go darlin" with a wink. Big swoooon. Even if he was being nice, it really made an impression on my very insecure, 24 yo self lol. Reply 5.3k ...

Text - atlienk • 20h In my early 20s I went to a local coffee shop with some coworkers. Without warning a very attractive young lady came up to me said "hi," shoved a piece of paper into my hand and then walked out the door. The piece of paper had her name and phone number on it. Only 1 word was spoken but it was an slightly overwhelming acknowledgement. Reply 2.6k ...

Text - ViolaNguyen • 20h Walking up to the stage at my graduation, I encountered a guy whose job was to stand there and say, "Congratulations, doctor." Over a decade later, I still feel warm and fuzzy thinking about that, even though I have no idea who that was. A guy on my committee said it first, right after my defense, but I was too shellshocked to process it then. Reply 1.5k

Text - Back2Bach • 21h 5 Awards At the conclusion of a church funeral service, the widow stopped by to see me at the organ console before proceeding to the cemetery. She said, with both smiles and tears, "I want to thank you for your uplifting music. It made my husband's funeral a celebration of his life rather than a sorrowful occasion." Reply 17.6k ...

Text - l-am-ShitBoy • 20h St. Patrick's Day, late, far from any parade or anything but l'm walking down the street by myself. A young man stumbles up, asks me if I'm gay. I say no, and the look on his face was like I just told him his parents died in a car crash and his dog was driving. He asked for a hug after calling me beautiful, and I happily obliged, correctly stating that it was the nicest thing anyone had ever or would ever say to me Plus I thought it was sweet that he asked for a hug.

Text - Altruistic_Pumpkin • 21h I was a teenager at the zoo, asked the ticket taker how much the ticket was, he said "free for you cause you're so cute" I couldn't make sense of what he said thru the speaker so I asked him to repeat it and when he did I couldn't possibly believe that's true, so I laughed and said "no really, how much is it?"

Text - PinkWashedx• 21h "You are so pretty" This compliment was flattering but very sad for me. This came from my best friend's cousin who was very insecure and l'd noticed she had been staring at me for about a solid 5 minutes before she spoke up. Her voice was so sad when she said it and I hated myself for making her feel insecure when I know exactly that feeling. Reply 1.0k ...

Text - Omelete_du_fromage • 20h I was a powerlifter weighing about 220lbs lean at 6'3", then I got psoriatic arthritis for 8 years and dropped to 150 (looked like I was dying). Went into remission about a month ago and have been lifting like a mad man and eating like crazy (back to 185lbs). A very beautiful medical technician I see frequently said to me two days ago, "you look bigger, like in a good way". Hearing that after 8 years of suffering from 19 to 27 and losing all of my work and passion

Text - FrozenMorningstar • 20h Me and my boyfriend (now husband) were at the store and an old guy walked up to us and said "You're the cutest couple l've ever seen." Meant a lot because we'd met online 6 years earlier and had been online dating, but a few days before this was the first time we had met in person. So that was like our first "you make a cute couple" compliment. Reply 1 371 ...

Text - shut_it_adam • 20h I had a friend (i'll call her Ella) in my class who I liked at the time, we always had good fun in the lessons and I genuinely ended up looking forward to those classes. But I didn't think she thought anything of me other than being a friend. But then, I someone added me on Snapchat, I didn't recognize the name (lets call her Sam) but I accepted. Then about 20 minutes later, I got a message. So, Sam, who i found out is Ella's best friend, sent me a long paragraph. She s

Text - researcher241 • 21h Whenever people say that the meal I prepared is delicious. Some of my friends made fun of my cooking before, they labeled me as someone useless in the kitchen for fun (I think it wasn't really malicious) so for the longest time l'd never cooked for anyone. And if I do cook for someone else, I tell them it may not be delicious, my technique is not great, etc. Now, I think l'm more confident in my own cooking and I'm not defensive about it anymore.

Text - TartanSkull • 21h Went to a gig last year and just after l'd squeezed past a guy to get to the toilet he stopped me n told me I was incredibly beautiful. I had no idea how to respond and told him he was beautiful too (he was in my opinion very attractive but he was short so I guess maybe he's not used to being told he's beautiful idk) He clearly wasn't gonna believe me. I offered him a hug (he seemed a little confused and uncomfortable about that which I found weird) then I went on my way

Text - Meahendra • 20h Crush in school: "The snowflakes in your hair look like diamonds" (or was it gems in general? I don't remember 100%) He didn't knew I liked him. He teased me a lot in school. Hot spanish guy, doing lots of sport, very kind and funny. Me, silent book worm, doing lots of sport, trying to stay under the radar. I told my best friend about that years after we left school. I noticed then, he probably had a crush on me too. (: Reply 497 ...

Text - coxblock90 • 17h I'm a 30 year old white guy. My girlfriend and I went to a New Years Eve party that advertised a DJ and dance floor for the 2018/2019 new year. There was only playlist (sans DJ) and a small corner with a few other people dancing. I'm not a bad dancer, but I don't claim to be very good either. I do, however, have remarkable stamina and a suspiciously miniscule amount of shame, and my girlfriend hangs tough. After a couple hours of impressing the other revelers, the most su
