♥︎ Welcome ♥︎

Hello, I'm a verified listener hoping to help some lovely people in need of support. I'm fifteen, as of now, but I have a lot of experience up my sleeve. I'm currently studying psychology. 

I am LGBTQ+ friendly, religion/spirituality friendly, neurodivergence friendly, personality disorder friendly, dissociative disorders friendly, and disability friendly. 

My pronouns are he/him. I only take chats in English. If you wish to chat to someone in another language, please go to the Browse Listeners option in the chat menu. 

I take 1-2-1 chats, and will be active in group chats. I offer casual chats, support chats, and distraction chats. You do not have to book an appointment, but please be aware that I may not answer as fast as you'd like. 

If you'd like to chat again after our first initial chat, please do so, or let me know! I'm happy to be a regular listener of yours. Maybe we can even become sponsor/sponsee =).

The dots by my profile picture indicate my activity. The colour meanings can be found below.

Red dot: I am not online, and I will not be answering any messages. I am probably sleep, or my personal life is very busy. I may be active in listener-only chats, however. I will not be taking general requests for 1-2-1 chats. 

Orange dot: I am online, but my replies will be slow, or I'm only answering regular members, or I'm in active in a group chat. I am probably too busy to chat, and we won't be able to have a live 1-2-1 chat. I will not be taking general requests for 1-2-1 chats.

Green dot: I am online, and I will answer you quickly. I will be taking new general 1-2-1 requests, as well as talking to regular members, and I will be active in group chats.
