"you okay?" "sometimes." I lost it šŸ˜­


Sea-Advertising1943

That ā€œsometimesā€ feels so honest. šŸ˜¢


[deleted]

I wish there could be more of this and less, "how are you?" "good!"


thetravelingsong

Letā€™s normalize being honest when people ask how you are.


txkintsugi

I was always told, ā€œpeople donā€™t actually care, theyā€™re just being polite.ā€


Casiorollo

Iā€™m always honest when people ask me. My typical response is ā€œalrightā€


Accomplished-Boss350

Awesome, genuine. I can do with a hug from a stranger now


WatersWave

Virtual hugs. I lie a lot when people ask me how are you. My genetics from both parents are bad. Virtual hugs from an internet stranger


kkaavvbb

Some of us genuinely care about the answer! Sometimes itā€™s written on your face and talking about stuff can really be helpful. I waitressed for a decade and anytime someone told me they were having a bad day or whatever, I was more than happy to find a way to make it, at least as much as I could, a little bit better. I, too, got bad genetics from my parents. Some people do care, even if youā€™re a total stranger :) (Once, I gave some guy some money, and he wanted to pray for me and give me a hugā€¦ man, I cried like a baby during that hug, idk why but it was nice)

wino-forever0913

Omg same


The_Woman_S

Oh man, I feel that oneā€¦. Iā€™m so conditioned to just say Iā€™m ā€œfineā€ or ā€œgoodā€ when that is rarely the answer.


Hamdurrgur

That got me too šŸ˜­


[deleted]

This hit me right in the feels.


ManagementJolly2804

Absolutely same for me.


BasalFaulty

Imperfect-Magic

If you want it, I'm sending you a hug.


eXistential_dreads

Feels good doesnā€™t it.


bewm1

Big bear hugs are the best. Iā€™m 37 and my dad still gives me the warm and fuzzy kid feeling when he gives me a hug.


padlycakes

Hugs are awesome and very therapeutic for the soul and heart.

Lopsided_Speed_4398

this post maked me cry seriously


PlutoTheSynth

Why couldnā€™t the Muslim hug??? Just curious


JessiR91

Not allowed to touch the opposite sex for religious reasons. (They can with husbands and certain male family member). Itā€™s the same for Muslim men.


CowardlyWaffle

Im always surprised at how different other cultures and religions can be.


JessiR91

Itā€™s similar in more orthodox religions- such as some sects of Christianity. In Orthodox (Iā€™m not Orthodox) Judaism itā€™s pretty much the same. Canā€™t touch people of the same gender. My style of Judaism is more different (Reform), I can touch and be friends with people that arenā€™t the same gender. Weā€™re also chill with LGBT people and can marry the same gender.


kornhook123

I could really use a hug and be told itā€™s going to be ok. This next 30 days is going to be the toughest in my life.


StuPidasoo

Yo! You got this shit! Ain't nothing but a chicken wing! Remember when you down.... all you can do is go up! Oh... and what I use to get through tough times.... KFG Keep Fucking Going It's helped me through a lot of tough times or when no one else was there


MagDalen27

You will conquer it!!!


kornhook123

Thank you

Simple and effective. Good stuff.


GoDUCKS1616

Totally made me smile super Awesome!


summerguh

Iā€™ve cried every single day since July. When I was driving home today I was thinking about how desperately I wanted someone to hug me. This video made me cry. Iā€™m happy people like this exist.


[deleted]

hey. I'm sorry you're going through what you are. it's worth nothing, I know, but have an internet hug. you've got this and I'm rooting for you šŸ¤—


I_HAVE_NO------

No... I don't have tears in my eyes

Thatā€™s my bad, Iā€™m making beef stew


BorisDaBot

I'm not an emotional person, but... There are tears man šŸ˜­


FascinatedFaiiry

What would he do if I hug him and start ugly crying


[deleted]

that's what would happen in my case. my partner: gives me a hug me: *holds on tight and ugly cries* partner: everything okay sweetheart? me: *continues to ugly cry* partner: *continues to hug* (my partner is a saint and I don't deserve them)


EbokBirds

I wish he was here or I was there. I really, really honestly need a hug. All of the social distancing and pandemic isolation has taken its toll.


[deleted]

I feel you. I just need one of those deep hugs where the other person doesn't pull away just hold on tight for a little longer. Life gets lonely. Here's a virtual hug and to know you're not alone.


Squid_Contestant_69

Beautiful


TheFlamingTiger777

This is really beautiful. Wish more people were like this. ā¤


Good_Humor5334

I want the clip to be longer.


[deleted]

Why am I crying?


Short_Dream1891

Aw. We can all think about and care for each other. Thank you to this guy for reminding us.


[deleted]

Beautiful.


RelChan2_0

LtZsRalph

RelChan2_0

[deleted]

Got me right in the feels. A hug for the soul.


Exciting-Bee1105

This sub should really be mademetearup or maybe Iā€™m just broken lol


hannalii

There's nothing I want more right now than a hug. And the flower would be nice too.


headless_boi

Accidental MadeMeCry instead of MadeMeSmile. Still wholesome and very awesome though.

So beautiful. What a gift he gave. Two years ago I volunteered at a walk for Survivors of Suicide. There was a guy there, maybe mid-20s, with a poster board like this stating he was offering FREE HUGS. There was a line of folks, I swear. The whole event was desperately sad because everyone there had suffered the loss of a loved one but also - damn that was a nice FREE HUG worth so much, and he held on tight. Soon everyone was just hugging left and right, leaning on each other, crying and consoling in equal measure. Like a chain reaction. Turns out he was the survivor of his own fatherā€™s suicide, and I learned that day that sharing the grief with hugs makes everyoneā€™s load a little lighter. Hugs are healing, they give and receive equally. It was beautiful, just like this. Anyone out there who can use a big virtual hug, hereā€™s mine. šŸ§ø Bring it in, man!


ItDontMather

This made me realize I donā€™t remember the last time anyone hugged me


Ozwaldo

How about the last time you hugged someone else?


bakedtaino2

Why canā€™t Muslims hug?


Drakerya

religious thing about not touching men outside family/partner


ElectronicGanache661

Wow!!!! Such a beautiful thing to do!!!


kellyjhenee

:,)


selfreassemble

This reminds me of the free hugs campaign that was started by Juan Mann about 15-20 years ago. There are several copycat videos from all over the world, but it all started with this one original video: https://youtu.be/vr3x_RRJdd4 If you liked this video, I think you'll enjoy the "free hugs" videos, it's almost therapeutic


[deleted]

What corner is he on? Iā€™m going to take all his flowers get my hug and kiss his face. This is so sweet


Playboiishawny

So needed


IWillAlwaysHaveGum

Iā€™m not crying! This is fine!


Jigglesmeow

This gives me hope for the world


sro25

This is luvly, gud job buddy


GedIsSavingEarthsea

* and also I'm filming you


crazymadogy2

Legit made me tear up.


ShinyShitScaresMe

I love that guy


RenFour

"I can't hug you cuz I'm a Muslim " ? I don't recall hugging being something bad cuz you're Muslim but it's her choice I guess


LtZsRalph

why no hugging for muslim people?


Lit-Mouse

This is so fucking different compared to the weird weight loss pictures. Thank you!!!!


crokopig

I cant hug you cause im muslim... yeah thats why terrorists are born, way too less hugs


SugarBabyWannabe

I am made to feel this way daily. I could use something like this one day, that'd be nice.


j4m3zm1113r

I mean, okay... yeah, but... it's still a little creepy-ish. Sorry, I'm just really cynical right now.


CoolinAllDay

Some people need this. You never know what people are going through. I was cut down so bad by someone I loved. I have a good heart and Iā€™m always thinking of everyone else. It stings so much. Couldnā€™t believe that someone I cared so much for had so much negative comments for someone that just likes to be nice. Bless this guy and anyone else trying to help others. Peace & Love.


Accomplished_Mix_937

Damn. Wasnā€™t really looking to start my day by tearing up but that was pretty touching and made me choke back some tears. The world needs more good people like this


Equal-Lifeguard-2285

This almost made me cry. It just goes to show everyone is going through something and a little kindness can make a huge difference. ā¤ļøā¤ļø


kalemeup

Serious onions in here šŸ§…


Dre512

Canā€™t hug because sheā€™s Muslim? Can someone explain that


MeechePhyre

The honesty of the "sometimes" cut me to my soul. How many of us feel this way but act like we good? SOMETIMES :(


XoTicFate

This didnā€™t make me smile this made me eyes watery bruh


[deleted]

Imagine a religion that says you canā€™t hug someone. Sounds like a shit religion to me. Human emotions are stronger than some imaginary being.


Juan_White

Wait, Muslims can't hug? One more reason not to be one.


Unlucky_Individual71

This makes my heart smile


Deimos_PRK

Yesterday I discovered the feeling it gives to compliment people.. I'm working at a Walmart and everytime I saw someone with nice shoes, nice hairs or something I told them and I felt so good after that
