This episode wouldn’t be possible without all the strangers who chose to participate. Thank you for your kindness in stopping to hear me out and your braveness in answering the question. I try to put as many answers as I can in the episode, however, not every answer goes on the page. Please know that if your answer is not in the episode, it does not take away from the importance of your story. There are many outside variables that determine the order and answers that go in the episode. Things like duration, flow, variety, overall feel of an episode and sometimes background noise, or other audio and visual problem. I love you all!! Thank you ❤️
Hello, I am kinda new to your wonderful channel. I have a question. Have you ever done where strangers just stare at each other,no words, .....judge honestly just on appearance.(?).Great channel btw.❤
What an amazing collection!
Just fyi that guy explaining how meditation made him feel psychic is because he was improving his intuition by thinking more without sensory distractions. This can feel 100 percent like magic to people who have repressed intuition. The horse story was a coincidence though.
Sometimes you have these really weird stories, like the woman woth the cold. Its just nastu thereya, so pls dont post it. Its not fun to watch the rest anymore. Thats what i dont like about your channel.
@@lesleymurugesu9096 one person’s weird is another person’s wonderful and vice versa. I enjoyed that one a great deal. She posts something for everyone I think.
The second man is also a victim of war. You can tell this falls heavy on his heart, and he’s taking the first steps to deconstructing military brainwashing. I hope he’s okay.
yes hearing him talk broke my heart
as Matt Maltese sang, "no one won the war"...
Heartbreaking 💔…..
War is horrible. And if we didn't win so many of them we would be dead or slaves. Unfortunately you sometimes have to choose the lesser evil.
We don't win them, we perpetuate them for the venal interests of a few at the top. We wouldn't be "dead or slaves" either, but many countries around the world would have a better standard of living because their natural resources would not have been stolen. We are manipulated with lies.@@laststand6420
I want people to know that despite the second guy smiling when he answers, smiling is a really common behavior for people to engage in when reliving traumatic and painful memories. It can be a way of subconsciously trying to tell ourself we’re ok or we seem ok to hold ourself together enough to share. Many of us smile when we’re angry or hear something incredibly disappointing- so the outward appearance of smiling doesn’t mean he’s happy or relaxed about it at all. When reliving my most painful childhood memories of abuse, I’ve always smiled through the pain too.
Sort of a trauma response or a wound not yet healed / coping mechanism
thanks for stating this, important to know.
Yes, exactly this! ❤ Im also a survivor of childhood trauma and I remember on a first meeting with a therapist years ago (in beginning of the process and totally clueless and in denial at this point) he asked me why I was almost laughing and smiling when I just tell him this awful things.. And I had no idea, it was that deep rooted. But it opens my eyes and Im thankful for him❤
Very true, sometimes I wish more people would understand this 😅.
May you find healing in time young man!
Hey strangers, hope you’re doing okay
Hope you are doing okay too
Hi stranger, I'm okay, I hope you are too. In case you're not, take a few deep breaths and pay attention to it. Take your time to process things and if you can, pray. It helps. Have a wonderful day❤😊
Hello dear stranger, thank you for asking. I am trying but I hope you are doing fabulous. Wish you great things in your life 🤗.
Hey 👋, stranger, thank you for asking, I'm trying really hard actually to be strong every single day, to show up...
Hope you are well and happy.
Much love to everyone reading this ❤
the reporter is such a good storyteller!! She really made me laugh
I laughed so bad😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🫧😪🤧
I really needed that 🥹😂
Yes! Me too
I hope Steve Martin somehow come across this and chuckles as he recalls that memory
The second guy is brave as hell. His response to that trauma makes a lot of sense to have those feelings.
A smile can hide a lot of pain.
It can’t hide what the eyes are saying❤
Another thing is that i hope the second guy continues to grow and heal through his experience. Thats some heavy shit to live with i would imagine.
I pray I Jesus name that he finds healing, war is hell, and unfortunately looks like we are headed in that direction again.
@@CRJR94 I don't think i would be able to live after doing something like that. That shit would scar me to death. Literally.
Unfortunately, that is why there is a suicide rate of 22 every day in the US. Pray and Support our Veterans.@@BrianCam.
@@humaneleaguelancPAim sorry to tell you that it's actually 135 per day...
First man: I BELIEVE YOU!!
As someone with a chronic illness, the last lady really got me. You don't realize how many things you take for granted as a healthy, mobile person. Once that changes, you change your outlook on life. You're grateful for the days you can get out of bed. For the movement your body allows. For fresh air. For love and sunlight. The simple things.
YES!!!
I have an illness. I'm in pain all of the time and it affects everything including my movement. I've learned to be alright with slowing down. It's taught me patience. I was fiercely independent, but now I've learned to let people help if it's needed. I don't have much choice in the matter and accepted it.
Yes me too. My outlook, my priorities, I'm so much more grateful for all the small things now, if I can just have some or even one of the small things, that I used to take for granted in my life, I feel so grateful now
Same!! I´m chronically ill too and I think the one beautiful thing that comes with it is the gratitude for the little things! Makes me feel bad for the able bodied people that let life rush by :/
@@esel2297I always tell healthy able bodied people that you shouldn’t wait until you’re dying to start truly living and appreciating life. And it’s the only minority a person can join at any point in their life. I wasn’t even supposed to live this long so even if I’m having a bad day I’m still grateful to be alive. I try to make the most of my time here on earth and wouldn’t change the view and appreciation I’ve gained. ❤
A princess and a bubble booger, and everything in between - I LOVE your videos!!!!!!
I do too. They're perfect if only they were longer... Well done Thoraya!!
This was one was really exceedingly good, though. But yes, these videos all tend to be just amazing.
The grim reality of being a soldier. It's better he was willing to share, even if he wasn't comfortable sharing with his dad (that's harder than telling a stranger). They train you to be a killer, but they don't train you how to cope with the aftermath. I hope he can continues to talk about it rather than internalizing. Just doing this video will help others. Still a brave man.
I hope he tells his family, even if he's not specific. He doesn't deserve any blame or guilt.
@@lettucesalad3560 exactly..a young man fighting an old man's war and doesn't deserve to suffer the rest of his life.I wish they would just stop the bullshit wars
@@raindog428 TBH, I don't think Afghanistan even fits the typical "BS war" scenario.. the US was responding to the 9-11 attacks, and then staying to re-build and bring basic human rights to women and minorities was a legitimate cause, unlike Iraq. Afghanistan has more roads, more electricity, better health care, women were given education.. some people were much better off when the US was there.
@@lettucesalad3560 I was generalising and isn't it always a response to something?
@@lettucesalad3560 I don't mean to insult people in that they fight for b.s. reasons I'm just really tired of people being used as fodder.The soldier has honour the politics behind it disgusts me
The second guy really made me emotional.. the fact that he wants to get it off his chest so bad.. and that telling millions of people is way easier than to tell one person you know and love… very telling. I hope he heals❤️ he seems like a great guy
It's easier to tell a million strangers than one person you love. It's true of a lot of things and a lot of people.😔
or a random stranger face to face. you can have some weird moments with them. its a rare vibe
The Bubble Booger is probably still part of Steve Martin's memory too. Maybe even part of his shows. Sometimes you just have to embrace the absurdity when the $hit happens to you.
The woman who was once homeless has some of the most beautiful eyes I have EVER seen! I'm not sure I've ever seen that colour in eyes before! The snot bubble story was hilarious, good comic relief from the heavier stories. The 50 year old woman looks 30 and has such an amazing personality, wow. I hope everyone finds full healing and peace
So glad someone else noticed her eyes!! Just like those byzantine icon paintings- but in real life.
I agree. She has beautiful eyes!
"That will stay with me past the dementia" - what a tragic but beautiful moment. Such acceptance.
That last woman was so beautiful and her with her husband were so cute together. I hope she lives a very happy life.
The Palestinian lady has very kind eyes. The second gent I wish him every kind of healing and wellness and that he will make his peace. Everyone is not a soldier. The 1st gent has wonderful presence. The princess lady had no other choice with those awesome dimples! The reporter was so lovely and down to earth with her snot story 😂The 50 year old definitely doesn’t look it. She has grace and her attitude is infectious.
Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.
Like a big embarassing snot
The last woman was dropped dead gorgeous. It is really hard to believe that she's 50!
She said it more than once, and I still have a hard time believing her. Good skin, joy, and gratitude.
Bubble booger woman made me laugh so hard 😂🤣
The Nigerian princess has such a beautiful smile! 😊
She’s stunning!
And eyes!
The princess was so vibrant and beautiful, wow. She does have the air of a princess. She is truly stunning. And seems very knowledgeable. I wish everyone in this video the best!
So much wisdom in the first man. He is speaking in one of the laws of the universe when saying I have to relax and not care if I really want it !
With so many serious stories, we definitely needed the comic relief of Steve Martin witnessing the massive snot bubble! 😹
The second guy, I had a similar reaction to getting beat up by my dad. When he was about to beat us up, including all my siblings, we would laugh nervously, which would piss him off more and he would beat us up even harder. We were scared, the only way to brace yourself for a beating as little kid was to laugh nervously like we did. I read the comments, and it made me think of those days and nights, laughing at the worst times, it is a coping mechanism. Thoraya, what you do is important, most can relate to someone. The lady with the gift of having the ability to walk, she sat one day and enjoyed the sun, what an amazing experience to share, thank you.
I’m so sorry you and your siblings had to go through that as children, and that any children have to experience abuse. It’s unconscionable. I hope you and your siblings are doing well now and know you are worthy of love and kindness.
In 2018 i tried to kill myself. I was 17, deep in depression,broke , searched the whole house found some poisons , drank it and nobody knows. Im 23 now and i love my life no matter what im going to be there for myself.
The benefits of meditation!!! Love love love the first guy!❤🙏🏽 and the realness of the Second Gentleman.
I’m big into meditation, and it’s clear the first guy is very confused.
@@alst4817why you think so?
I loved that story. Probably wouldn't believe it if I didn't have a very similar time in my life where I was kinda psychic. I'm not very good any more, but I used to just know the answer in a quiz for example, without knowing anything about the topic. Or I could tell the birthday of people if I knew them well enough.
This guy reminded me of my weirdness 😅
@@alst4817 there's been lots of studies on precognitive dreams. It's definitely a thing and I have had some crazy ones myself.
@@sassycat6487yes, dear
The lady with the knee replacements, 50 wow what's her secret, but she reminded me of when my late mother had her knee replaced. My two young nephews visited her in hospital and pulled several magnets from their pockets to see if they could stick them on her leg. Our NHS nurses were really amused but showed them both so much kindness allowing the boys take our blood pressures and explaining the equipment and what my mother had been through. Happy memories.
Staying off social media helps alot too.
sorry, what does it help?
@@tesselizabeth It helps to lower your anxiety and depression.
Try it.
See if you can shut your phone off for 24 hours.
Walk in the park.
Talk to people face to face and smile.
Raise your vibrations.
Have lunch with a good, trusted friend or family member who genuinely loves you. 💘
Watch how much better you feel.
Then pick up that phone and see for yourself.
You can do it.
Good luck.
@@sparkle3000
I agree.
so good to hear someone mention Gaza, constant prayers everyday
Hi Thoraya. The young soldier's horrific experience is awful. I hope he can receive guidance to help him. The beautiful 50 year old lady is spot on regarding what many take for granted on a daily basis. Absolutely one of your most touching episodes. Thank you for your wonderful work. Remember to take care of yourself. Sharon G., C🇨🇦 ❤
Being chronically ill is so incredibly draining, it shreds your life of happiness from all the simple things :c
Yes, it most certainly can. But I choose to live my best life and find joy and pleasure in each day, although I’m 53, chronically ill, never been married with no children, can’t work, and live alone. I entertain myself and have Oreos for dessert every night! 🌻 Sending you light!
Well dang, I was both laughing and crying through this episode. So many emotions. You have a gift Thoraya for getting people to open up to you and telling such interesting stories. Well done as usual. 🌸✨
I think the second guy is very brave for sharing his experience. So often we know that soldiers come back traumatized by what they had to do and can’t bare to share the details from either not wanting to feel like they are there again or from fear of what others may think of them for what they had to do. I get that wet to some degree need a military but it’s meant for protection not to keep constantly invading and killing people just to collect resources and land. It sucks that because of the needs we have of wanting to secure an education or income that we fall into the cycle of still signing up for it
That bubble booger one was great! 🤣
I love how eloquently the reporter expresses herself. She's a good storyteller!
The blodne woman is a fantastic storyteller
Talk about saving the best for last. That sweet lady so beautifully put into perspective the things we should all be grateful for.
Snot bubble 😂😂😂
I've seen that bubble in anime.
@@Itsunclegabby I've seen it in real life,🤣🤢the way she told that story cracked me up!
You could tell she's been a reporter, that was such good story telling 😂
@@sebastiangade absolutely grand storytelling...so funny
you make people think, a lot of people brush off a lot of their life and they forget a lot of it, thank you for making me think about the life i live.
the young lady with the 4 knee replacements is not only beautiful on the outside,but she has the most beautiful soul. Yes it is the little things that is so beautiful I always thank God every morning I can walk to the bathroom, for many years I had difficulty walking vacations were ruined so many things I feel like I have a new life . She summed up everything I pray her life is a beautiful knew beginning . Thank you for what you do for your channel to connect us all . Have a lovely day !
aahahhaha, the lady with the bugger... I haven't laughed like this in the longest !!!!!!! LOVELY!!!!!!!
The second guy deserves healing he is a good person ❤
that booger bubble story had me laughing the entire time LMAOO
now i will always think: if something is super embarrassing in the moment, it'll probably be a really funny story in the future hahahah
3:15 I admire his courage, even or especially in the face of having done something like that, even accidentally of course. Conscience shows.
Can't express how much I appreciate these recordings.
These kind of videos give me so much hope and comfort, it’s so beautiful.
This episode made me break down and cry a lot for these strangers. I hate that people have to suffer so much in this world.
I know the second man’s smile well. It’s how I smile too when I talk about the things that hurt and haunt me the most. Couldn’t wipe it off my face if I tried. It’s like a mix of misery and anger and you just want to laugh and cry and scream at how fucked up the world is but there’s no way you could explain that, so you just smile.
the way you draw emotions out of people is so beautiful!!
So much depth comes out of these interviews, this is so precious
I’ve never in my life snorted while laughing until the hubba bubba booger
I always look forward to these videos. There’s something about being up close and personal in front of another human being who is talking about their life and what they have experienced/are experiencing. Being able to see their emotions, it’s like you could feel it through the screen and you feel grateful being able to experience those emotions with them! Thank you Thoraya! ❤
Havent seen you in a while. Love that you are out there doing your thing and being genuinely you. To whomever. And you.
Wow ... I beleieve this is the best video yet?! Love these stories. The simplicity, the vulnerability, the feeling of empathy
Thoraya, you have a magically way of making people comfortable enough to open up to you. I’m sure this is very therapeutic for many of them and their stories touch our hearts. Bless you.
Your videos make me cry and I’m grateful for that. It’s really difficult for me to allow myself to cry when I feel like I should, but these videos just bring it out of me in such a beautiful way. Thank you for making these 💜
Your channel is helping me cope with my own traumatic experiences more than you would believe. Thank you so much for your wonderful work and the incredible people so vividly and bravely sharing their experiences.
I’ve only watched 7 minutes and I love and pray for all these individuals ❤️🙏🏽 such strong and brave souls
I just love the smile on everyone with this interview. Hearing different people's perspective is appealing and nice to hear. Thank you !
I love how the people in these videos are always so articulate and have a way to really draw out the viewers’ empathy
thank you so much Thoraya for your work ! I think watching your videos made me more empathetic by realizing that you really never know what's going on under the surface, we all face different challenge.. you offer here a kind of deep connection that we rarely see in our day to day life, this is so precious
Thorayaa, you are a gift to the humankind. I can not tell you enough how thankfull I am for seeing your videos for past couple of years. ❤❤❤
Thoraya, my daughters and I have been watching your videos. It's not always easy to watch, we've all cried quite a few times. But what a gift you and your work are to us. Thank you so much.
I pray for the second guy to be healed and everyone to be safe and happy. 🙏
Thank you for your channel and all the work and time you put into it. What you do it’s truly beautiful. Love from Italy 🤍
Wonderful people with wonderful stories. I would've never guessed their stories by simply looking at them. Thank you!
I love these videos. I connect with these people, I really do.
I want to say thank you to everyone that participates and opens up in these videos. You make it work! You show that we’re not all that different. We’re all of the human race, with the same needs and comforts.
I just really appreciate being able to watch these, and get insight into strangers lives. It’s human connection! 🌎 🔄♾️💚
The last lady was a joy to behold! She has a compelling presence and the most beautiful eyes that convey inner peace and love.
Always awesome how you pull the most beautiful (souls) to share parts of their lives ❤. Thank you Thoraya
Wow! The lady at the end. Her smile. What she says...thank you!
Thank you, truly. Sending well wishes to all involved in this video.
You need kind words too...
I love you and what you do. I think you're helping to make humanity greater just by caring or thinking a little more. Stay safe 🖤
what a beautiful episode, thank you thoraya ✨
thanks Thorayaa, those last 10 seconds were the best!
Well that was one rollercoaster of emotions! Going from emotional, to stirred, and sorry, to laughing my ass off with that bazooka bubble booger, to finally tearing up but also feeling hopeful and grateful.
Love your videos and the wonderful people in them. I feel for the man who went to war...I couldn't even imagine. ♡
What an amazing episode!! Best yet IMHO
I love your videos! Thanks for doing everything you do, Thoraya!
Thank you for watching
I can so agree with women who sees alot of negative in this world yet trying to remain positive and be happy. Thoraya your awesome as always ty for what you do and I absolutely love my hoodie...❤
thank you for what you do for the world thoraya ❤
I think this is one of the most beautiful strangers answer videos I’ve seen. ❤
I was holding back tears while I watch this at work. I can’t imagine the pain to unalive a teenager. That’s so sad
Okay princess I would’ve believed that immediately you are YOU and you are KIND! 👑🥰
The snot bubble lady had me laughing out loud on my own 😂 Such a good story teller and a great story! I bet she has many more stories up her sleeve 😆
Also, as much as I appreciate hearing everyone’s stories, I just have to say I love how the first thing that came to her mind was a funny story. It was just a nice contrast to hear someone not immediately think of something sad 🥹
This was my favorite one of yours yet!
Watching these episodes is like a breath of fresh air, the kind of interaction that shows what humanity is all about. I am so sick of hearing about hate, war, money matters or any of such negative vibes...it's so good to watch people being themselfs and share something so deep and genuine
That guy who was in the military just wrenched my insides all over and around and I feel so sad and sick
Love the bubble booger story! She cheered me up too lol
So happy to see a vlog from you. It's been too long . Have really missed you. Thank you, thank you thank you😊
Thank you for another video Thoraya! It is always so interesting and enriching to see other peoples´ stories
Enriching is such a good word to describe the impact of Thoraya’s videos!
The lady at the end made me cry. I can so relate .....im 36 and im sick all the time. Blood clots, diverticulitis, cyst on ovaries, nobody can really point me in one direction.....i apreciate life so much ....the little things ...time with my kids....watching the leaves fall ...every day i apreciate it so much .....❤
Try juicing, use castor oil and frankincense.
Omg.. the people that participated are beautiful.. it's so true, we don't know what's going on unless we aak, I'm sending love to each one of them.. May you have peace and happiness. ❤
Hi T!! This is always so amazing. Thank u for this. Today I jotted this down when I heard it. “ Be someone’s stranger.” Isnt that awesome. It was a morning show about homelessness here in Houston. I immediately thought of you. God bless friend.
What a wonderful video! What amazing people with incredible stories.
Omg I smiled and laughed and cried in few minutes of just listening to this wonderful human beings. Such an amazing stories and people!
I really enjoy these videos. I am left with a calm quiet reflective feeling. A feeling that I belong. And I like that.
Thank you 🙏❤ i'm so grateful for these videos
Thank you. Keep up the good (fantastic) work.
