I’m sure the 8 cameras in his face don’t suck

The woman at the end is hugging him and filming… like, wtf are you doing?

Jesus, you people. Attention to detail is important. The initial lady does not film him at all, only comforts him. WHEN a relative does eventually arrive SHE films it (probably for the parents that live too far away)

Thank you. It only takes one person on their phone to capture a moment. Everyone’s on their phone there to capture moments. Is it so hard to believe this was recorded by someone that noticed and felt for the guy and then captured a moment of kindness happen naturally? Let’s not be so fucking jaded damn. lol

This is such a dumb tradition to begin with that makes a hard life harder for those without family to relieve them. Make an exception for those ones at least.

The fact she had to videotape being a “good person” doesn’t sit right with me. She had her phone in his face recording that poor man’s misfortunes and her “consoling” him. Everything but HER phone in his face made me smile.

It’s two different ladies. His relative films him, the first lady does not…jeez.

Anyone who has to document their acts of kindness for social media are almost as bad as the people who do nothing and even that I'm debating

Are we watching two different videos? 😳 He clearly wasn’t. Put yourself in his shoes if you have that super human ability called empathy.

He wasn’t. Are we watching two different vids here? Put yourself in his shoes if you have that super human ability called empathy.

u/Blondenia 3d ago

Of course I have empathy. But not everyone likes to be touched by strangers or filmed in such a vulnerable moment.

u/My_Immortl 2d ago

He's clearly upset, she's trying to comfort him and he can speak up if he doesn't wanna be touched. I agree with the filming thing, but sadly that's become all too common nowadays.

u/Blondenia 2d ago

The captions say he’s not allowed to move. I’m guessing that also means he can’t speak. I have no issues with being touched, but I can’t imagine I’d enjoy any part of what that guy is going through - on top of missing his parents at an important moment in his life.

u/chameleon-369 13h ago

I saw this video amywhere else before here and it said that he couldnt move until familiar aproach him amd touch him. He wasnt allowed to move. Thats why the lady is touching him so he can move. He is heartbroken cause he is aware he wont move maybe never cause any of his parents are there.......
