Bio

Hi 💙 I’m Raphael! 16 yo. bi male, loves science & writing. I'm here for anything you need, whether its just a distraction or listening or a friend through a hard time.

Feel free to message me anytime, although I may not respond right away- unless my status is "online" (green), I'm probably tied up in something else at the moment. It's best for me if we can schedule a time to chat, but if it's urgent let me know! I can make time 💙

Not every listener is a perfect fit for everyone! Don't feel bad if you need to find someone who really clicks with you. 💙

I hope I can help!

Something to try

...See more One thing I really don't like seeing is posts with few replies. On some of them, it's due to length, others due to the difficulty of the question, others simply unlucky. It's something that really gets me so I thought I'd suggest something to whoever sees this, and watch if it works? The main way, I think, that posts get seen is simply via the community pages. They show the last active post. I think what ends up happening is that a post may not have any responses at the beginning, so it just gets pushed further down and down the list. You can help combat this! Even if you don't know the answer, don't have the time to really engage with what they're saying, choose a color heart: 💛💙💜💚💖 and post it. You're doing more than just showing your support- you're actively allowing this post to reenter circulation. That way, people whom the post connects with will find it and be able to respond, or the post-er will at least have a ton of hearts in their mailbox 💙 It doesn't take too long, so hopefully we can all do this a little more? Replying to help the right people find the post is one of the best things you can do for a member 💙 thanks for reading!

...See more Sorry for the language, but things are really *** y right now for a lot of us. It doesn’t help when a call for help is met with only a few replies, when your life story is met with silence. It’s so hard to get everyone the care they need, so I thought I’d try something different. I don’t know who you are but I care about you. I want to hear your story, I want to get to know you, I want to help you. Reply down below with your own venting, issues, and calls, and I promise you you’ll at least have me in your corner 💙

Anyone like psychology, philosophy, or physics?

...See more I recently found out I can chat with other listeners and members to just talk about random interests and I'm very excited 😃 I, personally, really enjoy discussing psychology, philosophy, and physics (the three Ps lol) because when you go high enough, they kind of blend together in a really satisfying way (specifically, if you're interested, because they build on each other; philosophy governs understanding and what's logical; physics drives the universe we live in; psychology describes the way we work. It's like 3 colored glass panes stacked on top of each other, look in from a side and you'll see something vastly different than if you looked at the pane alone :)) I've been writing about it for a long time and I'd love to chat about any one of those three you're interested in! Send me a message if you'd like :) and maybe respond here as well, so other like-minded folks can see that you're someone to talk to as well 💙
