Hello there. This is Mints. As with all listeners on this site, I'm trained in active listening. I initially joined because 7 Cups provides more training on how to work with various issues. That said, I'm not a therapist. I have experience (some firsthand) in helping people deal with:

- Anxiety,
- Bullying,
- Depression,
- Familial strife,
- Friend/relationship troubles, and
- Work-related stress.

You're welcome to talk to me about those things, or if you just want to speak with someone who will listen without judgment, that works too.

After some consideration, I’ve decided to forgo a fixed schedule to come online, but if you’d like to talk to me, feel free to leave a message. For your reference, I go by UTC+8 Hong Kong Time. Please keep in mind however that if you are:

- A GUEST, we’ll only be able to talk when online at the same time.

- A MEMBER of 7 Cups, the site will save up to the last 10 messages we send and receive to each other. More than that, and the first ones will be forever lost. Of course, ended conversations are automatically deleted as well.

- BELOW 18, I am not allowed to speak with you on 7 Cups. However, there are both TEEN LISTENERS (teenagers) and VERIFIED TEEN LISTENERS (adults) that are allowed to speak with you here. Please check the Browse Listeners page to find them.

- 18 OR ABOVE, I am here to listen and support you. I am not here to serve as a potential hook-up of any kind. If I find reason to feel I am not the right person to listen to you, rest assured that I will let you know and tell you why.

Where necessary, I'll do my best to refer you to other people or places that may be more resourceful to you.
