So today, I had this super unsettling experience today on the DC Yellow Line. A guy came up to me out of nowhere and started demanding that I give up my seat. He was saying some really harsh stuff about being fired and broke, and I honestly couldn't tell if he was asking for money or something else. I had no idea what to do, so I just pretended not to hear him. But then he got even more aggressive, asking if I was asleep and why I was ignoring him.

Huge thank you to the girl behind me who had my back, saying, “Why should she give up her seat? First come, first served!” There was also a lady in front who suggested I switch seats, and another guy at the end who stepped in to support.

I can’t even explain how grateful I am! Lately, I’ve been going through a rough patch, and honestly, I was so stressed that I ended up crying on the train. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who stepped up—it really meant a lot. Girls supporting girls, and kind strangers, are everything!

When I got off at Pentagon City, a group of younger kids even came over to comfort me. You all made a tough day so much better. I wish I could thank you in person! 💖

Ok so on one of my posts he commented saying Sega should hire you so thank you infiniteypower

The internet, including Reddit, has provided me with much I am grateful for.

A big thank you to all who contribute to making the world a better place. You know who you are. You believe in FOSS free and open source software. You believe in a free internet for all. Most importantly, you give expecting nothing in return, except maybe that people pay it forward.

Some small time ago, maybe like 1 or 2 weeks i got hacked, and its all sorted out blah blah but reddit, sent an email to me about my account getting locked for sus activity, and i would be unbanned after i reset my password so i did, so this is just like a thank you that you didnt let hackers do something to my reddit...

I put up a post in r/personalfinance (https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/1eujl8j/37\_paycheck\_to\_paycheck\_and\_in\_debt\_looking\_for/)

And u/JustAnotherJace, talked with me for over an hour. After some very good advice, u/JustAnotherJace, even created a number of spreadsheets breaking down how I should go about paying off debt and how to budget.

This person took time out of their day to help a stranger on the internet. Actually did math and created links for me to follow. The amount of effort put forth by this kind stranger is amazing. Thank you u/JustAnotherJace. Sometimes, Reddit is so cool.

What I am getting at. I came to use Reddit from Facebook. I left FB due to total hostility and Malice i got from almost every group I've been to on FB.

I heard that Reddit was even worse. But I would just like to tell you that I have had till now quite different experience.

It seems to me that people of Reddit can have normal,civilized discussion.

You are genuine, honest but not malicious of hostile. (at least I have not seen such posts)

Thanks to you my faith in humanity is not all gone.

Some designs hit for some people. The new, new Reddit re-design wasn't my cup of tea and when I was being forced to use it, was pretty down about the readability for myself.

Thank you, Reddit for allowing the use of new.reddit.com. I can read everything easily again and I think it says alot about how the company takes care of the community!

I'm a small 2D artist and I'm unemployed. I've been working with a delivery app for several months, but the income is just 1,30usd per delivery and it is not enough to sustain me and my family. The art commissions are always super helpful but I don't get much of them. Last month was specifically harder for me to pay the bills and my debts and I got to the point I couldn't afford to buy any food. Yesterday I went to the sub Reddits for artists and asked for help. Some redditors answered and now I get to go to the supermarket and buy food. This will last for a couple weeks ☺️ I'm so grateful. Thank you so much.

Thanks so much for seeing my drawings and upvoting or commenting words can’t express how grateful I am I appreciate your upvotes and comments I was about to quit until I saw your comments I don’t know how I can thank you I am so lucky to have you be commenting TYSM

Thank you reddit for showing me that there is hope still in this world. Throughout all the bad there is a still a glimmer of hope which continue to make me love everything and makes me value all those I am blessed to have by my side.

I’m new to this, so I’m not even sure if this is the correct way to post a message of thanks. I’ve been hovering around Reddit for about 5 years now and have only just started to comment. I know a lot of the posts are BS, but the comments are always real. I can relate to so many of the threads. Narc parents. Autisum. AITAH. And many more. I want to thank everyone who reply on every sub for all their opinions and advice. I have learnt so much from some very wise people, and some AH’s who are just looking for points.🤣 The narc parents sub have made me realise that it wasn’t all my fault. It’s made me feel so much better about myself. This is short and sweet and not going into too much detail, but thank you Reddit.

Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to communicate with me. Thanks for the chats, pics and voice messages. It was truly a pleasure getting to know another human being. While we may not have stayed in constant communication I want you to know that I enjoyed the minutes, hours, days we had. Have a great day and a great life and I hope that we both find what we are looking for.

A couple of days ago, I found a message in my reddit inbox from reddit telling me that a user had been concerned about my mental state of mind, and that there are resources available if I struggled with bad thoughts.

I don't know which comment had triggered this user, and yes, it is true that on occasion I struggle with myself and the world, but I've done so for 30 years and I'm still here.

Nevertheless, to do something when you think there's cause for concern, deserves a heartfelt thanks, and I hope to pay that forward some day.

Thank you

Thank you to the kind Redditor who slid in my dms to support me and ended up changing my life. You know who you are.

Thank you kind stranger for helping me out at the water isle. Thank you for being tall enough to reach the last bottles of water. Thank you for being a darling and offering to help before a bottle rolls and bumps me in the head. Thanks to all the tall enough people who help the not-so-tall-ones!

Dear Call Center Customer Service Representatives -I used to be an angry person and I used to be a financially unstable person.This combination of unfortunate circumstances resulted in me directing some of my anger towards Call Center Customer Service Representatives .For this I am truly sorry.It may please you to learn that I have dealt with my anger issues and I have also learnt to understand my emotions so I no longer direct my anger towards others.I wish you could understand how it feels to direct your anger towards a person who is professional, patient and understanding but I wouldn't wish a fit of rage on my worst enemy so perhaps you can take my word for it instead because even though I was delusional during these incidents I can clearly recall the patient, understanding and professional way you dealt with me and how good that felt. I know I didn't deserve that level of communication but I believe I needed it.Now that I have begun to understand the impact these experiences had on my life at a time when I needed to be understood more than anything but didn't deserve to be,I only hope my words can express how valuable your skills, behaviour and attitude towards me were in my time of need.In summary, while angry people most probably won't appreciate you in the moment and may unfortunately never come to appreciate you, your skills in dealing with them have an immense impact on them therefore you should be very proud of the way you handle these things.I only hope you can appreciate yourselves as much as I appreciate you

I got drunk and drugged at a strip club and some random guy saved me and made sure I got home alright. Some people in the world are just genuinely good and I cannot be more thankful he helped me. If you’re reading this I am very fortunate for you!

Since the onset of this train wreck, every year I watch and think ‘well, they did a thing, maybe next year will be better.’ Then I realized, the train wreck IS the show. You can’t look away. It’s so god awful uncomfortable to witness. We laugh out asses off every time. Thank you.

Just here to say thank you so much for my first karma saying hi to bob in r/meme

I only go on here when I'm in what i call "gamer mode" but in reality its just when i get so high i tingle and cant function normally. It took me over 10 mins to type this because of all the typos.

Looking for help with saying THANK YOU to my mom...

I have a BIG ask. My mom is retiring from nursing in a few months. For as long as I can remember, she has been a Night Shift Hospice Nurse.

I am reaching out to the community to see if anyone would like to provide her words of encouragement as she enters this next stage of life, words of thanks for providing such a unique type of nursing care, words of any type of positivity.

My idea is to gift her one card a day for her first year of retirement. Nurses are literal angels on Earth, and let's all be honest... they are far too underappreciated for what they do. I know over the years, my mom struggled doing what she did - which was to help people die. I just really want her to know that she is so incredibly loved, and what she spent her life doing was so deeply meaningful.

What I am asking is for anyone that feels compelled to write my mom a nice note/message - to please leave it either here in the comments or if you would rather me DM you so your note stays private, I am happy to do that as well - just let me know in the comments.

I already bought cards, so I would simply write your message in a card and over her first year of retirement, my mom would get to read your note. I am happy to sign your name or leave it annonymous (again, just let me know).

Thank you so very much. I appreciate you all!
