Ryan and Sophia seem so comfortable around each other, his quick jokes and her pretty laugh.. I hope they really go to Mexico together
then they turn around and hes like a turtle poking his head out of his shell. I understand the feeling sometimes.
Seriously their connection was really adorable and genuine
I got emo tion al when she started empathizing and making him feel comfortable to preface his answer before explaining how he was really doing. PURE
Same!
Yeah fr
That guy seems like he has such a kind soul. I smiled every time he said “holy cannoli” just the cutest saying
wowzer bowser really got me
It was the golly gee for me
his lingo was just so cute
Wowser bowser got me feeling all fuzzy lol
I want to be his friend SO bad- I love that 🥺💕
the energy between the guy and the girl is impeccable. i love these strangers.
Her laugh is pretty great 😂
RIGHT?? I hope they stay friends. Their energies are so cute together. They compliment each other really nicely
@@taydertauht I ship them!
Yes! Adorable!💖
I absolutely have smiles ear to ear! This is so genuine. I love this experiment
"As a stranger, I love you." ..... SUCH a great thing to say.
❤️
I teared up when she said that
I have met a few people who are like that..
Who are beautiful and caring people who love without restraint..
It takes bravery to do that.
and even + to do
Yeah☺
Ryan really looked like he needed to hear that he was the one holding himself back with meeting new people, and that he was genuine etc. I truly hope that helps him going forward. Many people in the world feel invisible.. imagine how good they might feel to be asked about their favorite shirt ❤️
indeed! I have this hoodie that I love and when someone asks about it, even a 'stupid' question, I just feel goooood. Like, not all humans are shit, some people notice and have the courage to break the silence. The courage to make a connection.. These are the people that change the world, one small gesture at a time.
beautiful comment i love this, especially the thought about how good it might make people feel ti be asked about their favorite shirt :
it's so sad because my anxiety with talking to people has me question everything. Even if they ask about my favorite shirt, ill question their intentions. I question everyone's intentions and I haaaateee that. Some people really are genuine and pure.
Sophia and Ryan are such sweet-hearted gems. Sophia seems like that friend who always wants to help others. Someone you can always talk to and she will always try to make you laugh. I see a lot of myself in her and the way that she kind of jokes and laughs through painful times. And I relate a lot to Ryan as well. It seems like it would be easier to talk to people without having to face them - I get so self-conscious when talking to people because I can feel their eyes and I start thinking about all of my insecurities and whether they can see them. I just love this concept so much, Thoraya!
They are married now
@@datapper really?
@@oktariapuspitadevi he's just kidding 😂😂
They have kids now
@@Renaissance_75 lmaoo
I love the sweet phrases Ryan says like holy cannoli and golly gee. It’s cute and refreshing when usually people throw around curse words etc.
And wowswer bowser 😹😹😹
"I want to say this as a stranger. You are safe, and this is an open space"
As a viewer, just hearing that made ME relax. Literally, felt my shoulders relax and slowly drop. ❤ them!
Sofia is such a sunny soul ❤️ and Ryan is an adorable goof ❤️. I hope they stay in touch and develop this potential friendship.
Her laugh is so endearing. ❤
Yeah, Ryan's a real cutie
Wow, the two girls should go hiking together. And, the young man comes off very personable. The girl talking to him is so genuine
I was really hoping to hear the one girl invited the other to join with her group of friends and hike!
I understood the man and his social anxiety. I am the same way. I have no friends in my life aside from my husband, and I really, really struggle talking to family, let alone meeting new people. I feel like I'm constantly over analyzing everything, thinking about what I'm thinking about, thinking about what to say, trying to read social queues and body language. Often times I'll feel like I'm making the other person uncomfortable with how awkward I am, and then I'll feel awkward about being awkward, and then at that point, I'll want to stop trying to talk. Not being able to speak your mind, or say anything really, even to family, really makes you wonder where you fit in, or if you even do.
I find it a lot easier to articulate words on paper or in text format than orally, but to speak to a stranger, somebody I don't know and can't see; I think forming sentences in a way that makes sense would become easier.
I feel the exact same way, you're not alone. I think that we have to learn to let go and to trust in our capacities, because I'm sure that behind all this fear and anxiety is a beautiful person full of qualities who is worth knowing. I know that it is really hard but I'm sure that you will also experience the joy of spontaneity some day, you just need to trust you, really, because you are enough even if your way of thinking put walls in your head, you can learn to build windows and doors, I'm sure of that.
But in the mean time, I wish you some calmness and softness in this storm we call social anxiety.
(excuse my english i'm french)
I love you just the way you are. You are very thoughtful and kind. Perhaps eckhart tolle and the power of now may help with that. It's ok to feel all you are feeling. Not sure how old you are but sometimes with age some of these things like this get better..all the best!
Tell to yourself that you will be a kind person at all timeswhile also having your own boundaries. That you are not responsible for what others perceive of you despite you being as kind as possible..l am working on it as well. All of us have our circumstances and we all learn and grow at different points of our lives. Having a bad experience is better than not having any at all
Yeah I feel you so much... Struggeling with these kinds of problems every day. Like, its so weird, everytime I talk to someone I already assume I only annoy them and that they want me to leave or that I'm not interesting enough... Then I cant really express what I want to say and I get really really nervous talking to people. But we just have to know that it is eventually going to get better and that whatever our thoughts tell us is not necessarily true.
I’ve no friends or family either, I’ve grown up alone and have had to do most hard things in life alone. I’m only 19 and it’s really tough sometimes. But Im used to it and it’s actually a comfort thing for me now to get away from work and just be alone. the loneliness is hard and cold, but it never betrays.
Ryan seems so sweet. Bro said wowzers bowser, holy canolli and golly gee and was so genuine about it
IM SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE SAID SOMETHING 😂
Sophia is so so right . . . life is very short. You turn 20, suddenly you are 40, and unbelievably 60. It goes fast. Choose what is most important to you. Take her advice, if energy, feelings, are not being reciprocated . . . let it there and move on to where the energy and feelings are reciprocated . . . that's the place to be. Thoraya, you are a genius . . . just love all journeys you experience with your participants.
Ryan's voice shot up 200 octaves when they met face to face. It was kinda cute. I hope they exchange info, and hit up a taco place in Mexico together.
Food unites us all.
That means he was not attracted. But was hoping to be.
Amongst all the hate and negativity going on in the world and especially today, your video brings me hope for the human species. Thank you Thoraya.
I love ryan and sophia 🥺 they both seem like they’d be amazing to have as a friend
Yeah he is pretty dope to have as a friend. He's always been there for me.
The first guy mentioning the children playing making him have a sense of happiness is just beautiful. You sir will be a GREAT father.
As parents, we face a daunting task when our children become adults. We must let go of our authoritarian roles and transition to cheerleader. Many moms struggle to let go of control, because the fear of what the world will do to our babies overwhelms. It isn’t that we don’t trust our kids. It’s that we don’t trust the world to be fair.
Be patient with your parents, kids. They are learning, too.
❤️
🤍
😇much needed
Thank you for saying that! I've been thinking about the same lately, children often think of parents as super humans but the truth is they try to navigate the world as everyone else. Mistakes are a part of life, we need to learn to forgive and stop being bitter about the past 😊 although its much easier said than done!
as a mom, thank you
I genuinely hope Ryan and Sophia interaction blooms into some sort of friendship or have some continued communication.
This reminds me of when kids meet, there's no judgment, just being themselves, optimistic, open, and friendly.
From my point of view Ryan interacted with Sophia very naturally. He was engaged in both what he was saying and what she was saying. His demeanor totally changed once they looked at each other. He became extremely awkward. Hey Ryan, you’re a good looking and interesting guy. Own it.
it really did. his voice went up sooo high. lol
@@reginaldfairfield curled up and that voice, that was pretty weird!
Sophia: "You're the only one that holds you back"
This is good advice for us all to consider
really hit home
This video is like a glimpse of light amidst all the heinous things that have been happening in Ukraine today! Yes to human connections and kindness, no to war! Thoraya, thank you for everything that you do ♥️
EDIT: my comment wasn't meant to disregard all the other horrific conflicts that are taking place in other countries besides Ukraine. As controversial as this might sound, I do feel that we naturally express more concern about conflicts that are happening closer to our home and that affect our beloved ones (e.g. in my case, I live in Europe and thereby the conflict in Ukraine hits closer to home. plus, one of my best friends is Ukrainian, which also adds up to my concern). This, however, doesn't mean that I don't care about the victims of other conflicts or that I consider them as less worthy of consideration and/or sympathy.
Isn't that the truth?! Same here. Amazing video Thoraya, needed today. There is good in this world ❤
War is always happening.
Not just Russia Ukraine.
These videos show the diversity the world around us has to offer.
what about sudan? yemen? ethiopia? somalia?.....
But can I ask you...why do you focus on the horrible things in Ukraine? Why are the other horrible things happening in the world not just as horrible/evil / horrific!? I just don't understand how people are just suddenly interested in Ukraine!? Where was this absolute outpouring of concern and interest for Ukraine in let's say, February 2016!? Russia had invaded Crimea (which is Ukraine) for over a year and a half at that point! Russia, had dislodged innocent Ukrainians and cut off the water supply to the peninsula! Where was the hashtags and Ukrainian flag icons!? Be honest: you didn't give a shit who controlled what where!! But suddenly you do! Can't you see you're being manipulated by the media???
@@brianlam1663 🙄
Ryan and Sophia have the perfect voices for radio or a podcast. And their chemistry is great.
I really hope that Sophia and Ryan kept in touch 🥺 I feel like they were meant to meet.
The guy and girl what an awesome connection. Honestly i could use a talk like that some days.
This boy is so adorable and humble hope he finds someone who sees that in him
"Oh, golie Gee!" cracked me the heck up. what a sweet soul Ryan is.
I could have listened to Sophia talk & laugh all day. She truly knew what to say to Ryan helped him in so many ways.
If this was Love Is Blind, there would be a proposal in 5 days for sure.
RIGHT this would be a lot better if Love is Blind was done with thoraya, the geniuneness and pureness of her videos and questions are what the world needs more of
when you spontaneously interrupt someone in their day, like if you just want to talk or flirt or anything, just make sure you behave in such a manner that at the end of the day the person will think back and remember that moment as something positive that they can laugh at for example. That way you are creating and sharing good memories with people and you can get rid of the idea in your mind that you interrupted them when they had a good time or anything.
Humanity is simultaneously a thing of ugliness and of awe-inspiring beauty. Literally nothing breaks my heart as hard as this dichotomy.
Well said
Yeah humans cause so much suffering, it's hard to not be affected by it (even indirectly). But, on the flipside we're also able of amazing, creative and kind feats. I agree, it's definitely hard to mentally balance things out.
@@ibechilling8761 I struggle with this. For certain personality types, like my own, it's all too easy to latch onto the bad. I like Thoraya's content because it reminds me of the good in people.
Peaks & valleys...motion
These videos are always so lovely... as someone with social anxiety who has issues with other people, especially after lockdowns, watching these always makes me feel better
Watching Thoraya's content never fails to comfort me. Even just watching it randomly, I felt like being consoled by random people's stories. I've always felt alone with my personal battles but after hearing random stories, I tell myself that I'm not the only one who goes through some tough situations.
I loved Ryan and Sophia interaction. Thoraya, if you still know how to reach out to them, I wanna let them know I'm from Mexico and would be more than happy to hang out with them, show them around, and go to a soccer game like Ryan wanted!!! 🤓😁 They both seem so cool!!
I think we all need a friendship update on Sophia and Ryan! Loved them!!!
Sophia seems like such a kind soul with lovely bubbly energy.
The only reason I was bummed to move from San Diego is that I was never able to run into you. I love this account. It’s amazing to me how many people I run into online who don’t realize everyone lives a different life
It’s amazing how people can so easily connect when there is no veil or structure (aka the human body) in front of us. Just two souls vibeing, because inside we are not so different…
Sophia reminds me of sunshine! 🤗 Ryan radiates kindness.
I am so instinctively curious about other people. I get teased for asking so many questions to new people especially. Because I get into heavy things quick I kinda squash the fun of going out. 😆 Your vids inspire me so much. Wish I could do this.
You have a willing test subject here! I am or was the same. I love getting to know the inner works of people's minds
I'm an expert on Ryan if you'd like to know more.
This is true! Experience the world through a stranger! Learn something too
Sophia and Ryan had such a heartfelt and honest conversation. That shit really made my heart happy💕 Also Ryan’s sayings are the most wholesome ever (holy cannoli!)
Awee the way the body language of the guy changed between just talking via mic and meeting 'in person'.. I feel like it's similar to talking to people on discord or in games, you can really open up and connect in a way much different from when you'd meet them irl. Somehow anxious worries about your own like-ability become a whole lot less if the other person can't see you.. At least in my experience ^^
I think lots of us can relate to him, it's really wholesome to see. He did amazingly! Like sheesh mad respect for daring to do that, I hope he will be able to become as comfortable talking to people face to face as he was when talking on mic. Actually, I *know* he will! My guy, if you're reading this: You can be so very proud of yourself for the steps you're taking! Sheesh you're getting out there with your job etc., and now this! Keep up the amazing work, you're gonna get there I promise!! You seem like an awesome guy, we all believe in you!
I could watch videos like this all day, sincere and honest people opening up to eachother. Keep up the aweome work Thoraya!
Yesss!!
Honestly I kinda needed this. I've been feeling so alienated from other people despite having to interact with so many on a regular basis. I have C-PTSD from a childhood full of abuse. I escaped it 10 years ago but went through alcoholism for like 5 years. I did some therapy but mostly couldn't afford it because despite being part of the gifted program and excelling in academics, I couldn't handle the workload due to stress outside of school. I've been working manual labor for a long time. I stayed out of debt until the pandemic and now it's getting harder and harder to keep up with the rent. I'm just trying to keep it together and trying to work more while learning new skills, but I don't think I'll be able to get out of this cycle until my 30s. I just wish I could get a lucky break. I want to fight to change society to make it better, but I feel so tired and it's like I have no time. My C-PTSD makes it hard to connect with people because I fear they hate me or will hurt me. It's hard. I have some friends and a partner, but I can't handle my family so I live far away from them.
Anyway thanks for listening
Thoraya, I'm so grateful 🙏 to you for posting this video today...especially today. I'm a retired missionary (Eastern Europe, Ukraine, Russia, Turkey). My heart is exceedingly heavy. THIS video is a huge dose of hope. We all need to remind ourselves that every life touches every other life. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️. Thoraya...this video has swept through me with renewed hope. This ability you have I'm sure is a gift 🎁 from the Lord.
Ray and Sophia definitely need to be at least friend after this.
Aww Ryan does get shy 🙈 but it’s so cute and he just seems like such a genuine person I hope they do end up going together to get those bomb tacos. I also liked his holy cannoli catch phrase lol
Right? It’s just so human :D I will be using wowzer bowser from now on lol
Bonding and building a friendship over a great meal is honestly the best!!
Most people don’t even take the time to stop and have conversations; you approach someone and they automatically think you’re gonna beg/ask them for something so they just say no thank you and keep walking.
I assume strangers are asking for money, trying to scam me, or trying to make me stop and take out my phone to take it, or just threaten me for money. And it happens so often to me and others i know that it is justified, and its sad.
I really relate to the guy in the green hat. I grew up in a very strict household and had very limited social interactions until I went to college (I was homeschooled). It is one of my biggest insecurities and unfortunately I recently got out of a relationship where my partner constantly put me down by calling me "socially awkward." I'm realizing that I'm finding my freedom from those labels now that I'm out of that relationship.
Ryan and Sofia... They've absolutely made my day ❤️
We need more of this as the world is on a brink of war
War?
@@tulipa5171 have you opened news today? Russia bomb Ukraine
@@theyfukenwmesubliminally yea i just found out the other day
Ryan and Sophia has my favourite conversation: calm, relaxed and casual. Not to mention that she really lives up to her name!
This channel is so underrated. I’m so glad I bumped into one of these videos and now I can’t stop watching. I am an introvert and I have a hard time socializing even before the pandemic hit and I just moved from a small province and now I’m the biggest city in my country for university. This made me realize that we can have a connection even without knowing each other and that strangers are one of the best people to talk to about everything. Thank you so much
Tell to yourself that you will be a kind person at all timeswhile also having your own boundaries. That you are not responsible for what others perceive of you despite you being as kind as possible..I am working on it as well. All of us have our circumstances and we all learn and grow at different points of our lives . Having a bad experience is better than not having any at all.
I wish more people would say these things:
- “as a stranger, I love you, and I’m a shoulder for you!”
- How am I doing? “Oh, Wowzer bowzer!😂😍”
I was happy last month but I'm starting to feel myself getting worse again. Your videos have been a big comfort, so thank you for making these and keep up the great work
How are you doing now, Roara?
I loved Sophia and Ryan's meet. Ryan is adorable goofy cute sweet guy and Sophia is this open beautiful soulful woman like this duo was a moment to witness, a once in a lifetime sliver of life and time. Love this content and its truly good
I aspire to be more like Ryan, he seems like such a kind soul.
Sofia is a great facilitator. Communication skills💯. I love this project so much😭❤️
Damn. That talk about moms and their expectations and love and all...hit close to home!
I'd love to have friends like Sophia and Ryan. I need those type of people in my life.
I love the man’s quirks. Holy cannoli and others, I always say holy schnikes or golly. Brings nostalgia. You don’t hear those exclamations these days. Appreciate those quirks, it adds more color to your life and bubbliness.
Sophia is that girl you want to be your best friend 🌻
This is cool. I often find myself pausing these videos and telling my own story in response to the questions
thats so sweet
When my parents separated, I was in junior high school. By the time I graduated HS, I had changed schools about 7 different times. I didn't go to the same school my elementary school friends went to, so I was always a loner at a new place. It didn't help that I was shy and timid, especially when it came to girls. So in a way, I can relate to Ryan. As a young adult, I told myself I could no longer be that person. Now at 38, I can converse with anyone and everyone, but it took little steps to get there. I wish him the best. I'd totally be his wingman. As a Hispanic person, I appreciate their love for lengua too. That shit is bomb. I hope they both get to go to Mexico.
I can't believe how Thoraya continues to post some the most intelligent, heartfelt content on RUclips. She has been doing this for years and it never gets old.
as someone with mega social anxiety this is terrifying, but i also love watching these videos!
Love the conversation between Sophia and Ryan. Always be smiling the entire videoz
Thanks Thoraya, that was a warm episode. I hope south central Bulgarian 🇧🇬 and the shy gas station worker go for some good Mexican 🇲🇽 food together 🌮
United we are Loved 💝
What Ryan said about struggling to meet people really resonates with me in a way I’ve always tried to explain, but he finally did. I’ve always said that I’m comfortable interacting with people when I know that the relationship is defined. I’m their waitress or I’m behind the counter. When the relationship between myself and stranger is undefined I’m much less comfortable going out of my way to interact with someone even if I really want to, like complimenting someone on something (in a non creepy way obviously).
i really felt what that guy said about being scared of meeting and talking to new people, but all these conversations are beautiful
sophia is the friend we all need🥺❤️
"I feel like you're the only one holding you back." That is most of our stories. We tell ourselves no more than letting ourselves enjoy the what if, the yes and the absolutely. Our fears & judgement from others, and most of the time it's our own self-doubt that causes this. That conversation was spot on.
Omg Ryan made me giggle! Two kind souls definitely meant to have crossed paths.
It amazes me that these peoples are complete strangers yet they have so much in common. I love it, it is amazing, one of my favourite pages. I love the sharing between two strangers who don't seem like strangers at all.
So amazing how total strangers can put themselves out there and be so vulnerable.
This has got be a cathartic experience. Being completely honest with someone you've never met, allowing complete honesty and letting a "new" person form their opinion of the real you.
This warms my heart we need more of this in our world
I loved this! Such a beautiful and incredible idea ❤
Love waking up to this. We all have unique stories of our lives and experiences and this is an amazing way to showcase stories that would otherwise not be heard
Both sets of folks are so encouraging of one another. It's very sweet.
These are the best thing on youtube. Very simple yet hard-hitting and relatable.
I love these videos so much. They are a little ray of sunshine amongst all the doom and gloom.
Thank you Thoraya! Another wonderful video!
Honestly these videos are the best, like connecting with someone youve never met is just so special, keep up the awesome work Thoraya
People should do this so much more. Conversations with no distractions, genuine conversations to start friendships. I love this.
Thank you Thoraya! I love what you are doing!
You are so good. Thank you for the flashlight on the quiet gems in the breeze.
I just started watching these today. Thank you for what you do.
Thanks for this Thoraya... truly appreciate it 👍🏾
This series is so beautiful. Thanks for encouraging openness among strangers. It is touching to see people come together and care about one another.
I look forward to your videos. It’s so nice to see people open up and be themselves. 😍
these episodes of strangers meeting are the reason why I subscribed to the channel. to see people connect being total strangers really tells a story. Thank you & keep on doing what you doing!
GIRL!!!! FRICKIN AMAZING!!!!
These are my absolute favorite videos ever!!!
What a wonderful thing you are doing!!!!
You need to do alot more just like this!!!
Keep up the LOVE!!!
I love this videos. The conversations are so naturals, honest and pure. When Ryan said "Arroz con Pollo" I smailed a lot hahaha I'm from Colombia and is so cool when people say something about your culture and food.
I've been living under a rock, recently came out of the dirt and found this channel. I've watched every video, and can't click fast enough when I see a new one. I love y'all ❤️
I want Sophia and Ryan to be friends!! So touched by how they connected ❤
GREAT JOB THORAYA!!!
YOU ARE HELPING TO BUILD A NEW EARTH.
VERY PROFOUND WORK.
I only recently discovered you, and I immediately fell in love with your videos. They're beautiful and therapeutic. We need more videos like these in the world
Probably one of the best episodes! Loved the talk between the guy and the girl
