Hello! I'm glad you've found me on "7 Cups."  I'm a trained active listener and I like to support people struggling with relationship issues, disabilities, domestic violence, anxiety, depression, grief over the loss of a loved-one, student life, general mental health, sexual health, and managing emotions. During the past thirty five years I have been employed in various capacities in the social services field. I've overcome a lot in life and would like to help by listening to you. If I'm online, then please feel free reach out to me to find out if I am available for a chat.  I'm glad you are here!

 I am presently not taking any new member chats. Feel free to search for other listeners from HERE [/BrowseListeners]. Thank You for understanding me. On-Break: I'm taking complete break from 7 Cups until May 28, 2024. During my break, for anything related to Chat Support and Chatroom Mentor/Teen Star projects, you can contact other Chatroom Leaders, namely, @hopedreamlove, @EmmaE or @ASilentObserver, and for anything related to Group Support Projects, feel free to contact @ASilentObserver. When I return, I'll resume my roles and responsibilities. Thank you for your understanding!  Hello Hello! Welcome to my profile page, thanks for visiting. I am Suryansh, or Surya, a young man from India. My time zone is IST (Indian Standard Time). My favourite subject is Physics. I really enjoy listening to music, watching series shows and tech movies, traveling, and getting to know our world and its history. I like coffee, and I am fond of writing and reading thoughts and quotes. After a few years, I aim to join the Indian Administrative Service, serve the nation, and continue listening and supporting people. I am a trained, verified listener here on 7 Cups. I like listening to people and supporting them with whatever they are going through. I believe that everyone deserves to be heard and understood. I cannot solve your problems, but I assure you that I will provide you with a safe listening ear and support you. Your feelings are absolutely valid, and I vow to you that I will never judge you. I would appreciate receiving ratings and reviews, as they help me improve, learn, and grow. I greatly believe in respect, patience, and kindness, which I will always embody in our conversation, and I would greatly appreciate it if I received the same attitude as mine back from the other person. I substantially care about you! I am available from Monday to Friday; weekends are days off from 7 Cups for me as I practice Self-Care on these days. We all deserve to have some me-time to care for ourselves. My general response time is within 2–3 days. If I am unavailable or offline, you are so welcome to leave me a message, and I will try to respond as soon as possible. I have some triggers that make me feel uncomfortable in chat. Please avoid sending one-word messages involving 'okay', 'k', 'huh', 'heh', ok', 'oh', 'ah' and 'hmm'. I would appreciate your understanding nature toward me. My Involvement in 7 Cups Group Support & Chatroom Ambassador  As a Group Support Ambassador, my focus area includes Group Support Leadership, Engagement and Quality Aspects of the rooms. As a Chatroom Ambassador, my focus area includes complete management of the Chat Support Team. I also assist with Chatroom Mentor/Teen Star applications & onboarding processes.

Hello ! My name is Gustavo, I`m 39 years old and I`m from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Although I travelled to a lot of places in the world). I am happy you found me here on 7cupsoftea. I`m a trained active listener and I like to support people who are struggling. If you'd like to talk about serious issues in your life then I'm your guy. However, if you'd like to also talk about trivial matters then I'll lend my ear for that as well. If I am online, please feel free to start a chat and if not you can always send me a message to set up a time for a conversation ! If you find our conversation helped you, you can always reach to me in the future :) The only  topics I`m not comfortable talking about are  "pronouns", and raising children  based on their prefered gender. I respect your feelings and I think they`re valid but please don`t msg me to talk about that, thanks.

As Salamu Alaikum  The weird listening wizard. Made In Bangladesh And So Easy To Understand, I am An Asian. Don't Be A Racist Claiming Asians Aren't Good In Listening. Serving This Ground Since 2016. I Claim Myself The Greatest And Classiest Because I Have Never Taken a Break From This Ground Since I Entered. Now Easy To Understand Because Other Listeners Here Who Show Too Much Excitement And Passion For Listening Often Break Their Own Mind And Hide Themselves Suddenly. I Can't Be That Careless Like Others, So That's My Biggest Point To Claim Myself The Greatest And Classiest of 7 Cups. Consistency Matters Most When The Task Is Voluntary. I Believe Taking A Break And Hiding From Those Who Seek Help Is Cowardice.  People Often Call Me A Narcissist, But I'll Say To Be A Narcissist, It Needs Some Unique Ability To Define Your Statement, And I Have That. And Lastly, Don't Waste My Time By Showing a Lack Of Consistency. I Trade Modesty, So Be Modest. Also, I'm A Muslim, So Choose Those Topics That Suits A Muslim Because It's Fun To Kick Someone When He Selects A Wrong Topic To Share With Me. 

Hello! I chose the picture of an apple because it represents to me growth and potential. The apple can grow to become the best apple it can be. I think we all have potential, and I also believe that most people are not solely good or bad- we are a combination of light and dark. That's just human nature. I've been here since 2013, and I am now in my 30s. I have always been told I'm a good listener and person to come to. People have come to me years after talking to them because they remembered I was someone to confide in. I like to think of myself as open minded, non judgmental, and compassionate. I try to be honest, but tactfully so. I find the best people in my life are those that tell me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear, and that is something I practice with others. I hope to be here for you, and I will cheerlead you on. I cannot give advice, but I will be a support for you. I take casual chats, so even if you're just bored or need someone to talk to and don't have a pressing issue, I am happy to talk to you.  My strengths lie in the subjects I have listed on my profile, so I will not be the best fit for everyone (and that is okay!). I hope everyone can get the help they need from whoever it is, even if it's not me. If I cannot help you, I will let you know and try to connect you with someone that can. I do the best with chats that can be asynchronous, as my schedule varies and I don't want to promise I can sit down for a real time chat if I cannot. That is unfair to both of us time wise, and time is a precious thing. Updated March 23, 2023 I have joined the admin team as a Quality Specialist for the volunteer community. I am still involved in all the things below, but as I am now involved widely across the site in different ways, if you need to know who to talk to regarding any of the below activities, please PM me and I will direct you to who you should talk to, whether it be me or someone else. If you have questions about anything Quality related, please PM me!

Hi all, I'm glad you've found my profile here! I truly love to listen and help others, and am particularly versed in eating disorders, work stress, and sexual assault, though happy to discuss anything, including sexual issues / sexuality. If you feel like you could use some extra support or help working through a problem, please reach out! I am not taking live chats right now, but can message back and forth not live if useful. I'm a former ambassador and still happy to support listeners or offer a place to vent when needed even though I no longer hold any formal position beyond listener after stepping down from my leadership roles. If you see me in the forums, you'll know I have a few favorite quotes around recovery and strength that I throw around all the time, so I'll share them here, too. "You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think" "Never forget you are worth more than the value you place on yourself." "Every day might not be a good day but there is good in every day." Much love to all, Anomalia

Hello there! I am so glad you stopped by! Call me Nutella. I have been here since 2016 and done a great deal of things on 7 Cups. I used to be a Peer Supporter, a Global Chatroom Moderator, and a discussion leader. I'm currently a Community Leader. I'm taking a break from being a Listener Verifier, and have been focusing more on 1-on-1 chats. I listen to both teens and adults. Having hands-on experience with real life therapy for years gives me the skills to be listening people who are going through something similar, so don't hesitate to chat to me! ❤️ Just note that I'm not taking any chats regarding sexual matters.

🤍💜🤍💜🤍 Im available to listen to and hold space for these topics: anxiety, chronic pain and ptsd 💜🤍💜🤍💜 Trauma: An unresolved state of distress   emotionally, mentally or physically. 🤍💜🤍💜🤍

“Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.” ― Rumi *** I am not suitable for long-term care. If you need a Listener that is long term, please locate someone else on 7 Cups that can provide that service. I'm excellent for short-term, single chat sessions as my work schedule (the one I'm paid for) is unpredictable. Please Note: I *ONLY* handle relationship issues, marriage/boyfriend/girlfriend, including but not limited to alternative relationships (poly, sharing, etc.) and sexual issues of any type - men or women. I am VERY strict about it. If you have OTHER serious conditions for which you are also seeking support - I am not the Listener for you. My background includes extensive experience with handling situations of infidelity, relationship problems, sexual problems, and various open or closed relationships.All other issues - please find yourself another Listener. I do NOT accept Listener Chats. If you'd like to talk with me, must be a member account, no exceptions. I am also not the type of Listener to tell you what you only want to hear. There are plenty of other Listeners who do that. I'm more factual, to the point, sometimes blunt, but always reasonable and fair without ANY judgment whatsoever. Selecting me as your Listener is YOUR choice, not required to do so; no one forces you. There are MANY talented Listeners on 7 Cups to choose from, so if you are very sensitive and prefer someone to tell you pretty things without any substance or depth - please find another Listener to support you and your needs. Not that it matters, but I maintain an MA in Marriage and Family Therapy from a regionally accredited university - Summa Cum Laude (3.973 GPA), and I'm currently working on my Doctorate, which will be completed in Jan 2025.

Unable to take member chats at this time.  "You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think". - Winnie The Pooh I believe that all people need something to do, something to aspire to and someone to love. I believe that angels walk among us, because God is a really busy person-solving lack of world peace, world hunger, etc.  He sends angels to us even in human form to help the cause.  Look for them...now, look harder. I believe what you seek, you shall find. I believe that we all have something to learn from anyone and everyone that we meet. I believe that happiness is a journey and not a destination. I believe that kindness matters, always.
