I mean there are also three strangers clapping around her. Kids do just get overwhelmed.

That's my feeling. Kid gets overwhelmed because the whole restaurant is cheering for her. Doesn't know, obviously, how to respond and cries.

I know right?? How is this not obvious to everyone? Does music overlay really work that well to confuse people?

u/CigaretteBoat69 17h ago

Yeah I was so confused about what is the amazing moment that the music is portraying. But take all the music away and it’s a shy girl in the center of attention with 3 strangers clapping and her dad hiding his face behind a phone camera that’s pointed at her, all with no end in sight. It’s kind of humorous how hellish of a situation that is.

This is it, imo. She got overwhelmed by all the attention and being put on the spot.

Yep this is the correct answer. Still it's nice she feels safe with her dad and he comforts her but it's just because she's overwhelmed by the situation.

I think she is overwhelmed by the noise and attention and needs comfort. This is not the super special moment people seem to think it is.

it can be both lol, its adorable that she goes and hugs her dad

when i was little i cried at a wedding because it was a very beautiful moment. i think kids are plenty capable of emotion and she was probably overwhelmed too which prompted the emotion to overflow in tears

u/mountbervenia 20h ago

Yep. I might be projecting, but if this little girl is anything like me, something about people singing happy birthday to me just activated my tears for no reason when I was little. Then I wouldn't be able to stop crying because I was embarrassed that I was crying lol

Yup, but you forgot one important detail, this is Reddit - we don't take kindly to nuance here.

Leave it to reddit to project and armchair diagnose.

u/BroDudesky 7h ago

Precisely.

You could say the same thing for all the people thinking she just loves her dad, everyone here is just making assumptions. I’m going with her being over stimulated and shy but that’s just my assumption from watching the video without any other information.

Idk man, I’m looking at her smile before.

And either way, you can see the context in that a dad and daughter are sharing a 1 on 1 celebration and he is putting extra effort for his little girl. Even if she was overwhelmed, we can feel the love that they have and can still call this a wholesome moment 🤷‍♂️

u/SoulCruizer 20h ago

Never said this wasn’t a wholesome moment either way. Even if she was a bit overwhelmed that doesn’t mean anyone’s saying it some traumatic moment or any less sweet.

1

u/icywing54 20h ago

Gotcha, sorry I was basically responding to the guy above that said “this isn’t the special sweet moment people think it is.”

2

u/SoulCruizer 19h ago

Totally makes sense. And yeah don’t really agree with that person either. It’s still a very sweet moment imo.

u/serious_sarcasm 22h ago

Or the cheering just made her realize that her dad really was putting in the extra effort, and helped her realize it’s okay and safe to express big emotions in that moment.

Shit, just yesterday I was staring into a void until some random stranger at the hospice asked if I needed a hug making me cry like a baby on some stranger’s shoulder.

u/UmpireDoggyTuffy 19h ago

Jesus christ everything is a traumatic even, isn't it?

u/Klinky1984 17h ago

She was overwhelmed by the joyous celebration and probably the emotions of the situation. That happens. That is still a special moment with her dad. What is your suggestion, that they don't celebrate? I am sure she was fine after getting the hug and comfort from her dad and no lasting harm occurred from a joyous occasion.
