One of my coworkers went out of his way to make sure I knew that I was a good person. He’s somewhere in his 60s, and he said something along the lines of “I’ve met a lot of shitty people in my life, but a good person like you only comes along every so often. You have a kind soul.” And it just felt really nice.

2025-12-16 08:48:17 +0000 UTCWell, a couple weeks ago a friend of mine said to another friend that I was really improving at ping pong. It's a simple thing but it was nice to have my progress noticed and spoken of unprompred. Recently I've been trying to pick up new hobbies and get to a comfortable spot with them, and I'd say I've been doing alright so far. As of now I've got bowling, skateboarding, pool (actually won a small tournament not too long ago), ping pong, and most recently fighting games under my belt of new hobbies. I bring that up to say that, y'know, hard work pays off if you give it enough time. Like of course when you start something new you're terrible at it, but after a month of semi consistent practice you'll see that you're nowhere near as bad as you were at the start. Then if you keep sticking with it, you'll only get better. I find that inspirational I guess. I'm not old or anything, I turn 24 in less than a month, but I never thought that I could still learn and become passionate about so many new things as a (semi) functioning adult. So many older people I see just stick with what they know, and don't try new things. To end I'll say, the holidays are here and new years is only a few weeks away, if anyone has ever been curious about learning a new hobby, sport, instrument, whatever, why not include it in your new year's resolutions? No time more fitting for new beginnings right? And maybe someone will notice your hard work and improvement, and gas you up to their friends. Acknowledgment like that will do wonders for your motivation and self esteem. Right then, happy holidays folks.

2025-12-16 05:09:28 +0000 UTCI have a friend I met at work who’s Mormon and he told me a while ago that I have a certain light within me because I don’t have an addiction to things like alcohol and drugs. After talking with so many people, it seems like it’s rare to not meet people who don’t drink or do any drugs like myself. I’ve personally never even been drunk before nor have I ever smoked anything before. I’m not religious by any means but when my friend said that, it really stuck. I then feel like I’m gifted in a certain way and he made me feel more comfortable with myself.

2025-12-16 04:36:49 +0000 UTCHonestly? It was less of a saying or quote, and more of just something that was said. I was cooking dinner for my family one night, and I turned around to see my aunt smiling at my mother and saying "You must be so proud of him." It honestly hit me kinda hard, because the older I've gotten, I've always just pushed compliments aside, maybe a humble trait, maybe part-depression, maybe both. It definitely made me feel happy with myself, and realise all the good I do in my life, and in my family's life. I won't give too much detail, but near the end of last year, there was a massive argument in my family, and it drove almost everyone apart. It was me that resolved it, mostly on my own (Which was my choice to do so). I guess I'm proud of who I am nowadays, and hearing my aunt say that to my mother -since those two were not talking to each other during said argument- made me feel better than I had in a very long time, and embrace the nice things that people say to me.

2025-12-16 04:27:44 +0000 UTCMy best friend always tells me “when you leave this world, who goes with you?” Cause I always help others except myself but when she said that, it has always been stuck on my head

2025-12-16 04:19:54 +0000 UTCAhh man, I'd hate to leave out all the ones I couldn't think of on the spot, and I often remember the feelings I walked away from the conversations rather than the specific words so forgive me on that end. I guess I'll make things easier for me by saying something someone had typed out to me... in here... by the woman of the hour herself (this is a culmination of messages strung together, it makes it easy to recall when I made screenshots of them): "Noah you are such a a delight/You are such a good friend, your friends are lucky to have you/ I'm so happy and grateful for the time you spent here and I learned a lot from you! You're amazing and I believe in you!" I might add more in the future but I want this aired out because you've been plenty capable and qualified of providing those words of encouragement to each of us, Wish.

2025-12-16 04:00:58 +0000 UTCYour health comes first wish take some more time if you need to especially if you're still sick were right here with you hoping you get better. And as for your question I struggle and even through this day to have IRL friends I don't know if it's just me which just assumed and concluded it was that, I guess I just give off bad vibes, do i make people uncomfortable? Or do i just not fit in at all or is it I haven't had any friends that I don't know how to respond or talk or have good conversations and just stay absolutely quiet cause I dont know how to start conversation only having small talk I never get asked to go hang out with people even if it's my co workers or anyone so again I think it's just me, the only real friends I have are online which makes me laugh sometimes like how I'm I closer to people who live across the US then anyone in my own neighborhood or job, I've told this to my closet friend on discord and what she told me left me happy, she told me it sucks that no one sees you for who you are cause of all the years I've known you, you have been the nicest person I have ever met, your always so kind, funny and awesome to talk with, who cares what anyone IRL says about you or avoids you if anything there missing out on a very special friend, I care about you and thank you for coming into my life and giving me a friend I can trust and rely on, even tho there may be nobody around IRL at least you have me and the few people here on discord so your not alone stay strong ok cause you have me and the few others you talk to, your my bestie and forever will be and I hope we can meet IRL one day to make the friendship stronger, when she told me all this I wanted to cry but held it together, and the message here is even tho your friends are all online and not IRL doesn't mean you're alone cause at least you still have someone to talk and laugh with and when that moment comes you can meet them IRL which I plan on doing with my discord friends some day and strengthen our friendship, I'm thankful for this friend who told me this and the few others I have telling me your not alone yeah it sucks there not right here with me but it's better than nothing and its better than being alone and not having anyone, and for wish and every one else some of the nicest people may not be right next to you but across the states or even across the world yeah it sucks that you can't go out and do things together but having those friends is better than having nobody 🙂this stuck with me for a long time and still lives in my heart hope this was a good story for you wish and everyone else, love you wish and love everyone else here and remember you are never alone there's always someone there to help you out like my friend on discord did for me and again remember your never truly alone, wow I said alone alot but I'm sure you wish and everyone else get the idea, much love wish❤️

2025-12-16 03:53:41 +0000 UTCMy sister said this once, and it has stuck with me forever. “You’re not the one with the problem, the world is.” Now every time I feel bad, I just remember those words, and keep myself up

2025-12-16 03:43:25 +0000 UTC"not everyone is like you" changed the way I look at everything because I know people don't view the world the same way I do and have different experiences etc. very simple but very true
