People Are Sharing Their Own Heartstopper Moments And We're In Pieces

It’s high in the Netflix charts and working its way into our hearts. And if you’re not watching, you might be in the minority right now.

Yep, Heartstopper is the latest coming-of-age TV drama to have grabbed our collective attention, with a cast of (mostly) newcomers charting the ups and downs of queer teenage love, and great support from the likes of Olivia Colman and Stephen Fry. Oh, and a stonking soundtrack that has all in the feels.

Charlie and Nick’s story – when skinny queer boy meets straight rugby lad at school, could friendship turn to something more? – has viewers reflecting on the heartstopping moments in their own lives.

From the ones you had as teens to the ones you wish you’d had, and those you’re still dreaming of in the future, we can’t get enough of these tweets.

People are getting all kinds of nostalgic

This was my HeartStopper, more than 25 years ago, and I still remember his kisses @nicolasbecerrap 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘 ; separated now, but unstoppable once; not one regret, only good memories at least for me pic.twitter.com/GRRRz6S64e

Gah! Just completed Heartstopper.

The tissues bought for a cold have been reassigned.

Lots of emotions throughout but especially the incredibly tender coming out scenes with his mom which mirrored my own and brought those moments flooding back to me.

The show is already having real-time impact

The best thing just happened to me, i don’t think we talk about the impact of heartstopper on the older generations, my mum (aged 49) is currently watching it and decided to come out as bi to me, im Im fully sobbing she is the most amazing person and I’m so proud of her☹️🥰

thinking about how heartstopper gave me the confidence to try to get my own hi! hi! moment with the boy i like and now i keep running into him and seeing him everywhere and it really is like the hi! hi! montage and how did neither of them combust i get so flustered every time 🫠

young royals and heartstopper taught me how to accept myself and to know that i don't nessesarely have to decide about my sexuality. these series and the actors showed me that no matter who i love, i am the same person as i was and that i should be myself all the time <3

But it’s bringing up bittersweet feelings, too

the way i wish i had my own heartstopper moments but i’m too scared to fall in love with a girl cus what if my family cuts me off 🥰 i’m a coward this sucks atp it’s either i come out and lose my family or i don’t and still have them and tbh idw to lose them :)
