Hi @Red_Fish 

 

My community experiences are similar to what others have mentioned, it always makes me smile and fills me with warmth when strangers who I have never seen before smile at me or when someone is walking their dog and the dog comes up to me and sniffs me and wants a pet, I just find it really cute.

Hi @Red_Fish 

 

This is a great post. I find that community experience that always makes me smile is little kids and the elderly just the way they interact. It's always so sweet and innocent. I also find little random acts of kindness like when a person short a few dollars and the person behind them pay for them.

Hey @Red_Fish 

 

This is a nice question!

 

I enjoy hearing people spontaneously give compliments to other people they don't know. I think of this because recently, my friend was trying on a skirt at a flea market we went to, and another person nearby said that they love the skirt. I think that situations like that really show an instinct to be kind for the sake of it, knowing that it's not transactional and there's no expectation to get anything back from the person being complimented.

Hi @Red_Fish 

 

I love this question. Already thinking of answers makes me smile. 

 

I have to agree with @Greenfern and @Carnation_Snail as well. Especially when I go for a walk and strangers are saying good morning to me in a nice, genuine way or the little wave people do when driving after they let a pedestrian or another driver through

 

I also find myself smiling at the small things, like when strangers help others at a local supermarket when someone has dropped something or needs help reaching the top shelf. People don't even ask, and others so often go out of their way to help.

Hi  @Red_Fish 

 

I think that like @Greenfern I love to see people being supported by one another, I think there is something so special about people coming together. 

 

In the community, i LOVE when people stop me to pet my dog! It always makes me smile because i know how happy it makes him to get attention

Hi @Red_Fish 

 

This is a fun post!

 

I think for the ReachOut community, seeing people relate and connect to each other with shared experiences and understanding makes me smile.

 

For experiences in my local community, I feel happy when sometimes people passing by (don't know them at all) smile at me in a genuine/friendly way.
