Bio

Hello! I look forward to chatting. I’m someone who suffers from various things, and I like to help others with their suffering, if I can. Sometimes the only thing that makes sense is being there for someone else. I am able to understand those who travel alone in life. There is a type of person who does not often find a home in this world due to their hyper-vigilance and deep understanding through deep pain. These people are often exiled to the margins of society, and their intellect furthers serves to isolate them. People without affect, honest people, aware people. If you see it all you're in the right place. If you decide to message me, please be able to tell me about your issues. Please meet me halfway. I am a regular, hurting person volunteering my time.

...See more Hello everyone, I am very motivated to make friends as I have none.  A little about me: I am 38 and a man, and I am in touch with my feminine and childish sides.  Making things and helping others are central in my life.  Living for values such as truth, love, beauty, charity, etc., I feel out of place in this self-centered, materialistic world.  I am an excellent friend because I am an excellent listener.  I see people and I take time to sincerely learn about people, delving deeper into the things they share.  This is something I have never really received in return.  I fear I am one of those souls who ends up giving all of the time.  Chances are you reading this can relate to that, and I'd like to hear from you if so.  I will not cut you off, I will not make your things about me, I will not put you into any boxes.   I write and record original music, paint and sell Hot Wheel theme cars, build dioramas, crochet, learn new things, do NYT crosswords, birdwatch, needlepoint, cook (mostly vegetarian), bake, write fiction, etc etc!  I love philosophy, psychology, cookies, and animals.  Sometimes I get down on the floor in the living room and play with toys.  I'm not embarrassed by things like that.  I am embarrassed by my moral failures.  I am disabled and have a simple, stable life, and a lot of time to invest in new friends. I long to share my life with someone in a special way and I believe that person exists somewhere.  I have a lot to give and look forward to talking with new people.  Thank you for taking the time to read this, I am so isolated and this is a rather bold move on my part; I usually prefer to remain hidden.

So far this person has really helped. It's felt very difficult to connect to people in the past because they didn't care enough or don't know how to connect with my thoughts like tothesquare has in minutes.
It was very helpfull
Excellent listener, intuitive and empathetic, patient and insightful. I had a very deep existential conversation that left me feeling extremely happy and hopeful!
Understanding and compassionate,asks good questions,thank you so much!
Second time I've spoken to ToTheSquare and I'm just so thankful that he exists. He asked the right questions to help me unfold my innermost feelings and gave me just the right amount of input/comment to help me see things in new ways. This is a listener who has respect for you and your own power to help yourself, and who wants to help you find it. Highly recommended :)

Helped me feel better. Great guy.
He's so easy to talk to. Calming, mature, and empathetic. I felt like he genuinely cared about what I was telling him. He wants to help. Honestly, tothesquare is the best listener I've ever been connected to. Thank you so so much.
I believe he is helping me go somewhere in my current situation.
so helpful... really got what I was going through!
Honestly, in the years I was in therapy I never had a better connection with anyone.....He made it very easy to talk to him and did not patronize me at all..something I greatly appreciated
Very sweet and intellectual. Asks questions that make you think, and that is extremely helpful.
He's the best. I felt much better after speaking with him, much needed perspective
best listener i have come across, thank you so much
Very nice and patient
What a breath of fresh air! An hour of his time made me feel so heard, understood, and worthy of better days. He offered clarifying questions and insights along the way gently helping me adjust my thought patterns. The road I face already feels a little less bumpy and lonely, and I have him (and 7CupsOfTea) to thank for that.
Simply amazing. Highly recommended. I don't have words to describe how truly awesome you are.
One of the best listeners you will find here
He's a very good listener

I'm chatting with him right now as this popped up..I like him. He's very sympathetic and understanding....Johnny
Tothesquare is a very respectful and nice person. He gave me a lot of time, listened to my problems without judging, and gave me some very helpful strategies to deal with my problems. This was by far the most useful "online" conversation I've had for mental health support.
A beautiful, wise, and healing guide with profound insight.
Kind and understanding person, very thoughtful and empathetic. : )
Truly amazing to chat with! Everything I needed and wonderful advice!! Thank you :)
Firm and polite even though i threw him a lot of garbage!
The single most selfless, caring and understanding person I may have ever come across in real life or online. He is endlessly generous.
An intelligent and thoughtful listener who really takes the time to understand you. I felt completely respected and validated, and I appreciate that he offered his insight and wisdom rather than personal advice. Thank you, again!
Very helpful. I found him to be very supportive, respectful, and non-judgmental. Very kind, insightful and helpful. I write this note with a lot of gratitude.
tothesquare has been very understanding, empathic and approachable.
