So, what is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to you?

It can be anything, from anyone--a stranger, a teacher, a friend, etc. I was just thinking today that sometimes I let the bad things people have said to me stick and forget about the good. I'm sure some of you may feel this way too. So remember, and share!

That they loved my writing ❤️

@asi

That's actually mine kind of and what remembering it is what made me think of this. Well, I wasn't actually going to share until later in the topic, but when I was in 7th grade, a particularly strict teacher started a conversation with me while I was filing papers, asking me if I like to write and what I write and what not, said I was the best he's ever seen a 7th grader write. But what especially meant a lot to me is when he said that "I have a feeling you are going to write something extremely significant."

I was just like, "Uh, wow." From a guy I've never heard say anything positive about anyone, who is so scholarly seeming and has been working so hard to publish his own book.
But I was so shy all I could really manage to say was a quiet little thanks.

I also still have the piece my 11th grade English teacher wrote a long little comment on. It especially meant a lot to me because at first I thought she hated me or something, haha.

"Thank you for existing." ❤️

The story:
Cosplaying at a place other than a convention usually gets me many weird looks and some "What a weirdo" comments... Until my trip to the mall after Fandemonium last year. I was in GameStop with my two buddies (who were also cosplaying) and some random kid came over to us, shook our hands, and thanked each of us for existing. (:

Aw, that's so sweet. From what I've seen in the brutality of the Cosplaying world, it takes a lot of confidence as people really seem to be hell-bent on keeping the exact look of their characters. I could never do it, but it's great that you have the courage to do it and someone was willing to acknowledge it.

@Metaphor
It's really scary how some people freak out if the tiniest detail is wrong... For them, it's like the world is ending or you've drawn a mustache on the Mona Lisa! D:
My cosplays are never perfect, and I like them that way~ My eyes aren't the right color and neither are my shoes (or gender, for that matter XD), but I enjoy those imperfections. I can never be someone I'm not~ ❤️

I have so many! But the one I'm thinking of now:

"You're not a bad person, so don't tell yourself you are."

I only remember to it love me and "you are cute" 😸
And bad.... oh...gad...

The nicest thing anyone has ever said to me was when my boyfriend (at the time, sadly we've broken up) told me that I was one of the biggest factors in his being able to combat and overcome depression.

"You're beautiful"
It was the only nice thing a /guy/ has ever said to me. Made me really happy for the night
But then in the morning he's like "lol I take it back"
Jerkface :K

@Metaphor Squee ❤️ The smallest things people say can mean everything ❤️

lonewolf • 1 August 2012 at 2:31 AM

This guy told me I was "gorgeous". And my friends encouraging me when I'm down. :]

"You can have half of my sandwich."

No, I'm kidding 😋 All jokes aside though, I think the nicest compliment I've ever gotten was from this little girl of about 4 or 5 who though I was a princess 😸 I guess cause I have really long hair? Regardless it was the cutest thing ever.

Ooh, all of these are so lovely. They made me smile. ❤️

I just thought of another one that made me melt, a guy I used to be with for a short time. Yeah, he ended up to...not be quite for me, but he really was keen on making me feel better about myself, so I have to give him that:

"You're such a beautiful person. I wish you had more confidence in yourself."
"If you keep writing poetry like that, I'll have no choice but to fall in love with you."

He was pretty well-established writer, for his age anyway. He spent most of that summer at writing workshops and...we sort of drifted away. But meh.
