1176 Hayely submitted this from her bedroom in Knoxville, Tennessee, USA using the SOTM Flickr group. She wrote: “told to me by my ex-girlfriend. she was at my house ages ago, and i'd gotten into a big fight with my mother, but it had nothing to do with her.

"having bad anxiety, she ended up having a panic attack and crying all over me, anyway. when i asked why she was getting so upset, this is what she told me.

“she doesn't have any memory of ever even saying this, now, but it's stuck with me, clear as day. it's definitely one of the most powerful things anyone has told me... made me feel like i meant something to somebody.”
