Times People Played a Significant Role in Someone Else’s Life and Didn’t Realize Until Much Later

One woman shared an experience that ended up helping out herself and a coworker. One of her coworkers loves to wear knee-high socks, and our storyteller was inspired to try wearing some as a result. One day, they ran into each other in the restroom at work, and our storyteller started gushing about how she inspired her to try wearing knee-highs.

It was a totally normal, positive conversation, and our storyteller left the conversation thinking nothing of it. Months later, she learned that her coworker was actually in the midst of having a panic attack when she started talking to her about the new socks! The conversation distracted this coworker to the point that she calmed down and stopped her panic attack. Who knew that’s all it takes?
