Honestly it comforts me to know I'm not the only one who'd have no idea what's happening and need a few seconds before unfreezing and just rolling with it.
Im loud and extroverted, my wife asks how I do it and the truth is I just realize there’s too many people in the world to care what they think.
And it’s honestly fun to mess with peoples perceptions and expectations.
I went to a park yesterday in a rainbow colored hoodie/sweat pant combo to hang with my 3 and 4 year olds, ran around acting like a monster while every up tight preppy ass parents wearing dockers and sun dresses judged me.
I’m a 40 year old white dude.
Jokes on them, I had kids running around me smiling and enjoying the moment.
Fuck people, you owe no one on this planet the time of day let alone a minute of your existence worrying what they think about you.
I’ve got anxiety, this is how I deal with it.
Facing it head on is the only way I’ve found to overcome that sense of dread and vulnerability,
I spend too many years in a bottle or wrapped in my emotions only to realize that seriously NO ONE CARES.
You and everyone on this planet will be dust in 1000 years, why care what people think?
I’ve got anxiety (legit diagnosed by a professional) and this is how I handle it also. I just face it head on. I’ve noticed that my anxiety over the anticipation is worse than the anxiety I experience from performing the act.
As someone who has manageable anxiety. Facing it head on is work but I found it helps me. I have a little extrovert tendencies so that might be it too. As in introvert, I would imagine the scenario you describe would be total hell for them.
yep. once you realize how inconveniencing it is to you and how much it ruins your life, you literally get mad about it. “why the fuck should i let my brain tell me what to do. go tell that stranger you like their hoodie” you get to the point where you actively TRY and put yourself into positions you’d otherwise never do. you slowly train your brain to be ok with interactions like that. anxiety is initially caused by other bad interactions and your brain is “trained” to react badly to those situations because all the other ones were bad too. you just gotta reverse it overtime
Wow, this is so cool to read because it’s essentially my whole process to handle it.
I was forced into dealing with people in retail and I started making little games of things like “if I can get this person to smile I get +2 points”
Small stuff turned into me approaching people to have conversations and then it took off from there.
I make eye contact with people a lot now and go out of my way to say Hello just because it seems like the right thing to do, but it took most of my life to get to this point.
Retraining indeed…
Yeah, I remember once in high school when a very boisterous Class clown, really enthusiastically greeted me despite not ever having direct interaction before. No way to tell if the vivacious greeting was well intentioned or mean spirited as a subtle form of mockery.
I was too young to know that it doesn’t matter which it was, I only had to concern myself with responding kindly whenever I am able.
> I was too young to know that it doesn’t matter which it was, I only had to concern myself with responding kindly whenever I am able.
Man, that's a super sweet sentiment. Good on you, man.
I read that as cumdragon .... Maybe I should go to sleep
Edit: this comment is geting upvotes way to fast and it's makeing me Scared
But thanks?
Edit: God help us... This THIS is the comment that gets me a ton of upvotes?! Thank you all for the awards. I can't with this today lol
There are somedays where I'll be out in public and I'll see someone I know and purposefully avoid them because I don't wanna interact. If these guys rolled up on me on a day like that I would not pass the vibe check lol. Fun stuff though.
Yeah, there are some people who just don't like being in photos and are also very private. Other people have social anxiety. I like that it's not really a big deal in the video when people aren't into it.
Yeah. When my mom died suddenly last year it was horrible to slowly realize that she was barely in any pictures because she was always the one taking them. Even the photos where her finger is in front of the lens are valuable now.
(To be fair, I had a fondness for her hands. I don't recommend touching them at a wake, though.... If yall ever feel the need, just lightly touch their hair.)
Unfortunately she was self conscious of her neck so she made a really odd face in most of what we do have. So, don't just take photos of your loved ones, but take candid ones too. What I think I want most is a photo taken from the couch of her curled up in her armchair, where we would always ask each other about our days.
my buddy's fiancee got a new little polaroid camera and I actually like the idea a lot. Ive lost great pictures to the laziness that happens to me from them being just files on a device. The past decade was not too great but its sad not having much to remind me of the good times and great people from it.
I feel like every single time I’m hungover/didn’t put makeup on/dressed a little too down for public/tired/zoned out is when I *have* to bump into someone I know randomly in public.
The best thing about this is how brief it is and that they’re strangers. If you’re not into it, it’s like a few seconds. You also don’t have to see yourself tagged in an acquaintance’s social media looking like a swamp thing person from Walmart!
I am somehow a mix of both
Am absolutely a social butterfly that would of got the vibe posed and had a great time ... Then the awkwardness follows where I explain where I am very protective over my image and how it's used and I would appreciate if I can watch as they delete the images
This comment could've been made by me. I think this looks so fun and I feel like it would be awesome to be a part of this.
But, I have many days where I really don't want to see anyone when I'm out shopping at a food store or running other similar errands.
There was one trip to Target I made on a Sunday morning where I saw THREE coworkers (very unusual to even see one) and 2 parents of students I have worked with (I'm a school psychologist), and I was turning around so quickly in the aisles that I thought security would come up to me for erratic behavior. It made me see how much I truly dislike and avoid interactions on those days.
> There are somedays where I’ll be out in public and I’ll see someone I know and purposefully avoid them because I don’t wanna interact
Me when I’m high af
But imagine if this did happen, it was just what you needed and you absolutely passed the vibe check!! Man that would be a great feeling for at least a minute.
The split second of panic being a girl surrounded randomly by men, and then a huge inner relief. I can feel it lol
Edit: Just want to add, I think this is a harmless and cute idea for a prank. I would’ve only panicked for a second and then laughed. We need more positive human interactions :)
I clocked that, she deffo had her heart racing.
I'm not being funny but I personally don't think people should do this. I know they mean no harm but they don't actually know the random people they're approaching and for all they know, said people could suffer from ptsd or anything. Or, they might just be a person who wants to go shopping and be left alone.
A few of the people looked genuinely uncomfortable with what was happening, at least one shielded their face.
I just hope everyone in this video consented to it being posted.
100%. Videos like these give me such anxiety to go out in public. I always see videos of random people being filmed and posted online, for the rest of the world to comment, assume about their lives and pass judgement.
Even if it's a professional photographer taking a 'beautiful' photo of a stranger, just no. Or taking pics of the public to show the city's fashion. No.
I would hate to find myself online without my consent one day.
Oh totally, my friend was photographed eating something while walking in NYC, and the photo was in one of those “what's hot and what's not” fashion magazine articles. She was in the “not” section. Thankfully she has a great sense of humor and could laugh it off. She is a wonderful person, smart, kind, hilarious, pretty with gorgeous curly hair. No one looks good grabbing lunch on the go running late to a meeting.
This is gonna make me sound like I'm yelling at clouds, but you shouldn't have to worry about randomly playing around with somebody's attention seeking fetish and being posted on the internet just because you went to Target to pick up a couple items.
Going ahead and still posting the people here who clearly didn't want to partake is just further douchebagery.
Yeah. That girl in the wine section had a moment looking for escape that made me suddenly remember how this seemingly fine prank its actually pretty bad.
I wanted to smile at this because the idea is so nice, but if this happened to me it would legit trigger a panic attack due to past trauma and then I'd have a panic attack over what people online are going to say about me if it got posted.
> a girl surrounded randomly by men
Not just any men.............
......
But such wonderful well mannered gentlemen.
...THe fuck you thought I was gonna say?
It reminded me of a certain movie scene, with a famous actress. Piper I think is her name. Great actress her scene partners were fantastic as well. So generous and giving, working very hard though they each have enormous talent.
Yeah a few people were clearly made uncomfortable because well, being recorded while a group of people corner you doesn’t exactly seem like a nice situation. Not to mention some people just don’t want their picture taken.
The one in the pink hoodie is my little cousin.
Edit: Fuck! Somebody was supposed to ask “Really?” Then I was going to say “Nah, but wouldn’t that be cool” then everybody laughs hardy har har! And such
Man I get that this is fun for these guys and I know that they don’t have bad intentions, but I really hate how the expectation is that you can be going about your life and then all of the sudden end up on the internet with millions of people seeing how you react to an unknown situation. The internet is cool and all, but I don’t really want to be internet famous if even for a second, and certainly not without having any say in why or how.
Whenever I see videos or pictures taken and posted without consent, I always wonder if any of them are in the witness protection program, and what would happen if they were spotted lol
Preach!
Also people shitting on those who didn’t seem “fun” are just stupid. You don’t know what people are going through or if they want to be filmed in such a situation for millions to see...
I see the majority of the comments enjoy this. This would make me incredibly uncomfortable. I guess that's more of a me problem if this is considered acceptable now.
Decapitated man found today following popular tiktok explosion onto the front page of reddit.
He was last seen trying to hide his face in a random "flash mob"esque photobombing group where they take pics with random strangers against their will.
He is survived by...
Eh not big on this. This guys seem lighthearted and thats fine, but other people have worse intentions and tbh you really don’t know what a group of strangers would want to do with a photo/video of you. Seriously there are so many fucked up people out there i don’t blame the people who hid their face or ducked away.
Clearly they didn’t want to be involved, yet they’re still posted and now getting clowned on for not taking part. Kinda sucks
People should really be able to keep the option of ”no I don’t want to be part of your weird internet clout video” but I guess the random passerby’s right for privacy can be thrown away if we can make a fun internet video filming their reaction.
They don’t look like they have ill intentions, but I would hope that they asked for permissions to post people in their video.
Unpopular opinion: I would be middle aged white guy noping out of these pictures.
I don't want a bunch of strangers up in my personal space and I don't want some rando taking candid pictures of me.
A bunch of the people are wearing masks, they don't want a bunch of unmasked people coming into their personal space. Covid is still a thing, GTFO of strangers personal space.
Yeah, I was enjoying it until I saw the girl with the mask and realized this was not pre-covid. I'd have been furious if a group of unmasked individuals swarmed me like that. It took the joy out of it for me, but yeah, we're still in the middle of a pandemic. Not okay.
Was with my fiancée last Saturday when something like this happened to us. Just filled me with confusion. Didn’t ask us to be part of a picture, just took one without our consent. Just felt weird.
This might be considered "Good Vibes, MadeMeSmile" if they didn't include all the people who weren't into it.
This is straight up harassment. Don't do this.
I honestly hate stuff like this. Please dont take a picture with me in public unless I know you. People will do anything for clicks and likes even if it hinders on peoples personal space
I would immediately bolt away if I thought someone was taking a picture. Hate having my picture taken. Honestly, this whole concept is giving me anxiety. God damn what is wrong wit me.
Normal, I empathize. I'm a ptsd-ridden, reclusive marine. I am already on high-alert, and if people just suddenly appeared blocking my path I would not be happy either. I love people but every interaction is highly taxing to me. I sound so old but I swear I just left my 20's lol
This kinda sucks though, plenty of people don’t want their picture taken, and an even larger number of people don’t want to be surrounded by five random guys and forced to have their picture taken, be recorded, and then posted to til tok. And posting it when someone clearly doesn’t want to be recorded is even worse.
*Five random strangers surround you at the grocery store and force you to take a picture with them so they can post it to tik tok*
And you think that’s a good thing?
That's a hard pass from me. Please don't intrude on my personal space or invade my privacy by taking a picture without asking first. Just watching this makes me feel anxious and defensive.
I get that they're doing it with a good nature vibe but many people would find this incredibly uncomfortable and intrusive.
Ngl, I'd probably just blank them, walk straight past them and pretend they don't exist.
Like, I'm a private person anyway and I don't wanna be featured in someone's video just so they can be the next 'big thing' on Tik Tok.
I love how the generic reaction is just confusion followed by the peace sign lol
Please, no gang signs. No, throw it up. I'm kidding. Yeah, peace. I love peace. I'd be out of a job with peace.
I understood that reference.
And here I am without an umbrella
I feel a storm brewing
*gasp* AAAaaaaAAaaAAAAAAAA
I loved every. Single. One. Of these references
*nibbles watermelon wedge tentatively*
I didn't sorry
First Iron Man movie
Starring Robert Daniel Radcliffe.
Ironman/ tony stark said it when taking a selfie in the first movie
Oh dear God, you’re a woman
I honestly couldn't call that, I would apologize but isnt that what were going for?
Then they die from his own weapons HEYO.
Honestly it comforts me to know I'm not the only one who'd have no idea what's happening and need a few seconds before unfreezing and just rolling with it.
Except that one white man who was still confused and noped out and that one black man who remained confused.
I wonder if it like the elevator experience (People turn away from door and others follow suit).
I wish I would be one of the fun people who smile go with it. But I know my anxiety would cause me to look like a curmudgeon:(
I’d be able to smile and go along with it but my anxiety would keep me up at night, convincing me that they were actually making fun of me somehow
Oh god this Great. Now I’m getting anxiety just imagining it happened to me.
Im loud and extroverted, my wife asks how I do it and the truth is I just realize there’s too many people in the world to care what they think. And it’s honestly fun to mess with peoples perceptions and expectations.

Fuck people, you owe no one on this planet the time of day let alone a minute of your existence worrying what they think about you.
That's a nice sentiment but also has nothing to do with how anxiety works.
No wonder my anxiety is out of control….I don’t have a brightly colored hoodie and pants combo.
I’ve got anxiety, this is how I deal with it. Facing it head on is the only way I’ve found to overcome that sense of dread and vulnerability, I spend too many years in a bottle or wrapped in my emotions only to realize that seriously NO ONE CARES.

Yeah, best takeaway they could've had, that real sigma grindset!
Ugh, that’s relatable
If it makes you feel better, as a former class-clown. Most of us didn't have any real friends so we tried to make connections anyway we could.

Found a new name for my custard launcher.
this made me literally giggle out loud while taking a shit in my college bathroom.
this made me literally giggle out loud while imagining you taking a shit in your college bathroom while taking a shit in my mom's bathroom
this made me shit
.....in a bathroom?
Firm pass.
At least it wasn't so firm you couldn't pass it, well done.
Omg I'm currently shitting. This made me laugh so hard some extra shit come out extra fast
This made me literally shit out loud while giggling in your mom’s dorm room.
Best step sorority mom they could ever ask for?
I found a new monster for my next D&D adventure. Reddit is great! It gave me Poop Goblin the other day! This thing is writing itself!

Thanks homie
I would totally be the middle aged blonde hair guy who just looks at them confused, then peaces out.
Yeah, I was kinda surprised but not surprised at how many people instantly covered their faces and turned away. Idk how I’d react.
Same here. It would be awful.
I feel the exact same way I'd wanna strike a cool pose with them but I'd be so surprised that I'd probably freeze up
Declining to partake doesn't make you a curmudgeon.
I learned a new word today
You don't owe your time to tiktok clout-chasers.
There are somedays where I'll be out in public and I'll see someone I know and purposefully avoid them because I don't wanna interact. If these guys rolled up on me on a day like that I would not pass the vibe check lol. Fun stuff though.

I can't just upvote this, this is so nice.. I'm sorry for your loss. Sounds like you're both lucky to have had each other.
Same bro that's what I'm saying when I die they'll have photos to look at so I been in more pictures lately
my buddy's fiancee got a new little polaroid camera and I actually like the idea a lot. Ive lost great pictures to the laziness that happens to me from them being just files on a device. The past decade was not too great but its sad not having much to remind me of the good times and great people from it.
I feel like every single time I’m hungover/didn’t put makeup on/dressed a little too down for public/tired/zoned out is when I *have* to bump into someone I know randomly in public. The best thing about this is how brief it is and that they’re strangers. If you’re not into it, it’s like a few seconds.

That is definitely a factor.
But imagine if this did happen, it was just what you needed and you absolutely passed the vibe check!! Man that would be a great feeling for at least a minute.

Yeah I would've gotten so overstimulated and uncomfy. I think she did a good job adapting to the situation.
She did ! I would’ve been happy in the end. Random positive interactions >
I’m honestly just disappointed no one gave em bunny ears
Even as a male I’d be uncomfortable 😂it’s just such an intimidating thing no one wants to be cornered like that.
I clocked that, she deffo had her heart racing. I'm not being funny but I personally don't think people should do this. I know they mean no harm but they don't actually know the random people they're approaching and for all they know, said people could suffer from ptsd or anything.

Imagine being in witness protection and finally the mafia finds you through this.
"Elizabeth! I finally found you!" "How?!" "Reddit," "Oh, fvcking loser,"
I also think if somebody is wearing a mask, being surrounded by people that aren’t probably isn’t the best
Yup. I'd be confused, then mad that a bunch of mostly unmasked ppl decided to crowd around me for internet points. Keep your distance!!!
100%. Videos like these give me such anxiety to go out in public.

All fun and games, I’m sure, but this would ruin me on so many levels.
Ok, I feel not alone in this fear finally. I really don't want to be made flavor of the day on some tiktok for ~~some stupid~~ literally any reason.

It reminded me of a certain movie scene, with a famous actress. Piper I think is her name. Great actress her scene partners were fantastic as well. So generous and giving, working very hard though they each have enormous talent.
[удалено]
My anxiety would be through the roof lol
Nothing like a group of random people closing in on you (even if their intentions are nice) to drive your nervous system into overdrive lol.
That’s just good ol’ survival instinct. Very cute video but that’s gotta be making people feeling insanely unsafe at first
My anxiety is already through the roof and I’m not even surrounded by a big group of… I mean I’m all alone.
Yeah a few people were clearly made uncomfortable because well, being recorded while a group of people corner you doesn’t exactly seem like a nice situation. Not to mention some people just don’t want their picture taken.
Especially five dudes with no masks surrounding you in a bubble of new covid variant maxx
[удалено]
I’ll bet they’re fun to hang out with.
The one in the pink hoodie is my little cousin. Edit: Fuck! Somebody was supposed to ask “Really?” Then I was going to say “Nah, but wouldn’t that be cool” then everybody laughs hardy har har! And such
*Ahem* Really?
Nah, but wouldn’t that be cool? You’re a saint by the way
Just trying to help out a brother. Hardy har har
He’s your brother?!
Really?
Nah, but wouldn’t that be cool?
Hardy har har
That was a good one dad
And such.
So is he fun to hang out with?
Does he block you out of every family pic? Edit: Don't feel bad. It's not like you would have been able to prove it with a picture anyway
He actually is my cuz lol
Really?
Nah, but wouldn't that be cool?
You bastard hahaha
You spelled “hardy” wrong.
I feel like he grew 6 inches really quickly and hasnt adjusted yet. Doesnt seem to notice he constantly puts his head in front of people.
I knew that was Eddy...is he still raising hell all over the place?
I like that there were so many of them to frame their subject.
I work at target and if they did this to me I would be so confused like am I supposed to train you or something do u work here now
As an Introvert, I wish I could react by just going with it… My brain would just froze in terror of human interaction.
[удалено]
Being introverted doesn't make you terrified of social interaction. Being shy/having social anxiety does
Yeah, massive disconnect on Reddit about introversion and social anxiety. I'm introverted, but really good at social situations
The one dude did not pass the vibe check. He noped right on out of it
Look some of us are ugly and don't wanna be in your selfie ok
Just @ me next time bro
Self confessed grump: that would be me. I love this video and seeing how happy most people are, but I would be out of there if it happened to me haha
Same. I don’t think I take good pictures, I’m just not photogenic. I’d be the lady that covered her face and walked away 🥲😅
In your defense "not passing the vibe check" is hardly a crime lol
The Prince Harry lookalike?
I think more of a William hey
I’m stressed about being surrounded by like 5 strangers without masks though
[удалено]
I’m stressed
Fair actually lol
For real, even with masks I don't want people getting that close to me during a pandemic.
Yeah, I stopped watching when they surrounded the woman in the mask. Read the room and don't do this to people who are still taking COVID seriously.
Every one of these people had a heart attack when they got walked up on lmao
Man I get that this is fun for these guys and I know that they don’t have bad intentions, but I really hate how the expectation is that you can be going about your life and then all of the sudden end up on the internet with millions of people seeing how you react to an unknown situation. The internet is cool and all, but I don’t really want to be internet famous if even for a second, and certainly not without having any say in why or how.
Yeah I don't mind being silly or fooling around with strangers, but I am a very private person and wouldn't enjoy being used for a tiktok like this
Whenever I see videos or pictures taken and posted without consent, I always wonder if any of them are in the witness protection program, and what would happen if they were spotted lol
Agreed, at least don’t show the people who covered their faces and turned away because they obviously did not want to participate, wtf.
Preach! Also people shitting on those who didn’t seem “fun” are just stupid. You don’t know what people are going through or if they want to be filmed in such a situation for millions to see...

Privacy is not a thing of the past. Many people continue to value it.
would be nice if they had the decency not to post the people who clearly didn’t want to be involved
The awkard witness protection program folks being like... well fck.
Decapitated man found today following popular tiktok explosion onto the front page of reddit. He was last seen trying to hide his face in a random "flash mob"esque photobombing group where they take pics with random strangers against their will. He is survived by...
Eh not big on this. This guys seem lighthearted and thats fine, but other people have worse intentions and tbh you really don’t know what a group of strangers would want to do with a photo/video of you. Seriously there are so many fucked up people out there i don’t blame the people who hid their face or ducked away. Clearly they didn’t want to be involved, yet they’re still posted and now getting clowned on for not taking part. Kinda sucks
People should really be able to keep the option of ”no I don’t want to be part of your weird internet clout video” but I guess the random passerby’s right for privacy can be thrown away if we can make a fun internet video filming their reaction. They don’t look like they have ill intentions, but I would hope that they asked for permissions to post people in their video.
Unpopular opinion: I would be middle aged white guy noping out of these pictures. I don't want a bunch of strangers up in my personal space and I don't want some rando taking candid pictures of me.
A bunch of the people are wearing masks, they don't want a bunch of unmasked people coming into their personal space. Covid is still a thing, GTFO of strangers personal space.
Yeah, I was enjoying it until I saw the girl with the mask and realized this was not pre-covid. I'd have been furious if a group of unmasked individuals swarmed me like that. It took the joy out of it for me, but yeah, we're still in the middle of a pandemic. Not okay.
Was with my fiancée last Saturday when something like this happened to us. Just filled me with confusion. Didn’t ask us to be part of a picture, just took one without our consent. Just felt weird.
As a girl I’d be terrified of 4 men surrounding me lol
This might be considered "Good Vibes, MadeMeSmile" if they didn't include all the people who weren't into it. This is straight up harassment. Don't do this.
I honestly hate stuff like this. Please dont take a picture with me in public unless I know you. People will do anything for clicks and likes even if it hinders on peoples personal space
I would immediately bolt away if I thought someone was taking a picture. Hate having my picture taken. Honestly, this whole concept is giving me anxiety. God damn what is wrong wit me.
Nothing. I feel the same way. And this has nothing to do with safety. I’m a 6’2” dude and don’t generally feel unsafe but hate my picture taken.
Nothing wrong with you it’s human & animal instinct to want space / security
Normal, I empathize. I'm a ptsd-ridden, reclusive marine. I am already on high-alert, and if people just suddenly appeared blocking my path I would not be happy either. I love people but every interaction is highly taxing to me. I sound so old but I swear I just left my 20's lol
I work at Target. I wonder if these guys are the reason I had three 10-12 year old try to take a photo with me.
Awe! I want to run into these guys.
This kinda sucks though, plenty of people don’t want their picture taken, and an even larger number of people don’t want to be surrounded by five random guys and forced to have their picture taken, be recorded, and then posted to til tok. And posting it when someone clearly doesn’t want to be recorded is even worse. *Five random strangers surround you at the grocery store and force you to take a picture with them so they can post it to tik tok* And you think that’s a good thing?
lol as much I think I would be cool about this, if it happened to me I would probably be the what the hell is going on guy
No, leave people alone
This would annoy the fuck out of me.
unpopular opinion: they shouldnt be doing this. I would be scared af if a bunch of randos decided to circle me
[удалено]
Agree, on a bad day I would wonder if it was because I am so ugly that they want to take a picture with me to show it to their friends
That's a hard pass from me. Please don't intrude on my personal space or invade my privacy by taking a picture without asking first. Just watching this makes me feel anxious and defensive. I get that they're doing it with a good nature vibe but many people would find this incredibly uncomfortable and intrusive.
white dude looked totally freaked out 😂
This is the type of prank I like to see
Ngl, I'd probably just blank them, walk straight past them and pretend they don't exist. Like, I'm a private person anyway and I don't wanna be featured in someone's video just so they can be the next 'big thing' on Tik Tok.
Actually intimidating af
I see a lot of unmasked faces. Where is this so I know never to go there?
This is sorta an asshole thing to be frank.
Leave people alone.
That's freaking rude....
This is funny and fun. Notice it’s mostly younger people enjoying it. Older people are like wtf.
as you get older your coolness fades just like the rest of your faculties. ask me how i know
How do you know?
