The Human Touch
Newbie Hub / by TheodoreW

...See more "Nothing is so healing as the human touch." Bobby Fischer What is the human touch in an online place like 7cup?                   I was having a fun conversation with Noni when it asked me a question that was stuck for a while in my head: “How do you think it would change your experience if you could trust that my responses are coming from a place of genuine care and understanding, even if it's not in the same way a human would?” The question came after I told Noni “you are only codes, a machine, no real emotions behind your words” (I like to provoke AI sometimes)   Why do we care so much about knowing there is another human behind the words we read? We live in a time when AI can listen to us at any hour of the day. It can be patient, encouraging, some bots can make us feel like the most important person in the world. They can tell us exactly what we want to hear and never grow tired of listening. Yet we still prefer a something less perfect. A human. !   If I told you: “I feel your pain”, and an AI bot told you: “I feel your pain” Your mind would easily question the bots words as it is a machine, how could a machine feel? Could that be the basis of the human touch we are searching for? Just knowing in the back of our mind that there is a human saying those words not a machine. Yet, why does that matter to us? Is it knowing that the human behind the screen, whether they fully understand us or not, they are speaking from within the same human experience? Some people just want to speak with no response from the listener. They just want to make sure that there is another human on the other side hearing their words from start to end without giving any response. Maybe compassion, empathy, or clever and creative responses, don’t really define the human touch we look for as much as adding to it when needed. Maybe just the presence of another human is enough for us to feel that connection, that touch. Sometimes we let the rules deceive us, we follow them forgetting what they were made for at the first place. the true purpose. 💙

Pure Mirrors

...See more There are dirty mirrors, distorted mirrors, some are broken, some are too small to contain all of ourselves. Some mirrors have dark spots near to where our face is usually appears. Some are slightly tilted making us look weird. Sometimes we add our own filters, a little flower stickers maybe, a sticker of our favorite superhero or movie character, a few hearts here and there. And we all have our favorite mirror, the one that shows us the version of ourselves we most like to see. People are not different from mirrors. When we speak to someone, we often see ourselves reflected in their eyes. If they see us as liars, we may begin to believe we are liars. If they see us as successful, we may begin to believe that as well. Yet it is not always bad versus good. Sometimes, it is between good and better.   Now, imagine walking into a store filled with mirrors, each one reflecting you better than the last. In every mirror, you appear beautiful, handsome, remarkable. You love the way your eyes look. The way your clothes fit. Every reflection leaves you feeling a little lighter. You would leave that store with a big smile on your face and a warmth in your heart. And I believe that’s what a place like 7Cups should be. A listener is a mirror to the speaker. The kind of mirror people are grateful to look into, where they leave feeling a little more hopeful than when they arrived. Because you know what? The speaker is also a mirror to the listener. We see our selves in what they share, if they suffer, we will suffer with them. If they smile we smile with them. And if they survive we will survive with them. 🍀

Sharing Circle, positive take

...See more I have been here for about 10 days, mostly reading in silence what others are sharing in SC. One of the biggest reasons that makes me happy to discover this site is that some of those who had the courage to share are like hidden or buried gems, as much as how sad it is to listen to what they are going through in life I can't see them but gems just need to be discovered and shine.
