Need to talk to someone?

Hi my name on cups is paws.  I really like helping people out so I thought being a listener on cups would be a good fit for me. What I like to do in free times is eating , films , sports , hiking, being out in nature and a lot more. i am a big fan of psychology and I a big life long learner, i am huge cat person.

1.) Introduction I've been through anxiety myself, and I know first hand the struggles of feeling alone and left out. Together, we can take our first steps towards operating more consciously and break the automatic negative cycles of anxiety.  2.) Personality 💛🍋I'm a bittersweet lemon💛🍋 I am also an INFP; 4% of the general population Introverted; Indicates a person who is energized by time alone. Intuitive Who focuses on ideas and concepts rather than facts and details. Feeling Who makes decisions based on feelings and values  Perceiving Who prefers to be spontaneous and flexible rather than planned and organized ❇ I'll always be less than my other selves So I feel like I'm competing with someone else ❇ 3.) Likes and Dislikes Likes 🎡 Motorbikes 🏍 🎡 Photography 📷 🎡 Anime 🉐 🎡 Rain and Thunder ☔ 🎡 Martial arts 🙏 🎡 Alternative Rock 🎸 🎡 Video Games 🎮 🎡 Mechanical Pencils ✏ 🎡 Psychology 💭 🎡 Chicken noodle soup with a soda on the side 🍜🥤 Dislikes 💀 Sea Food 🐠 💀 Plane crash documentaries ✈ 💀 One word replies 🆗 4.) My perspective  An important point to make is that sometimes the way we feel is nothing more than an echo from the past. It's been conditioned into you. Scorched into your brain. If you sit around and choose to wallow in that familiar pain, then you can never hope to feel relief. Even in the fell clutch of circumstance, you do have a CHOICE to make. Choose to get up and DO something. It's not about the hand that you are dealt. It's about creating your own reality and label the old feelings for what they truly are; Pathological liars. If you never allow your mind to be saturated with healthy, positive emotions, then you will forever be stuck in your own quicksand, sabotaging yourself. I know that it may be a slow step by step process but that first step is all it takes. °·.    ·  ✦ ·* .  •    ·  •.   ✶˚  .   ·*✧* ˚  · . ·* . ✵.         ✧✵ .·    ✵  ✫˚            · · .             ·✦ ˚  · .           ⊹   · . *            ..   . °  You are never as down and out as it may         seem, and you are definitely not alone.

🥀 I do my best to be present in the chat with you and respond in a way that feels caring. We can just sit together with the feelings that you're having, and focus on helping you know that you're not carrying them alone. I'm available for casual chats and long term support. I strongly believe that a trusting connection can create space for positive healthy growth, and I would be honored to be someone you can talk to and lean on along the way.   🥀 ------------------------- Honored to wear the Tulip Badge Formerly an Adult-Teen Listener Proud to have earned Verified Listener status Former member of the listener Peer Support group  Former member of the Anonymous Evaluations team Grateful to have graduated the Quality Listening Program - with honors ------------------------- 🫂 Thank you for stopping by my profile, I'm proud of your courage to seek out support, please take a hug with you before you leave 🫂

🌸🫧 Hi there, I’m Lex 🫧🌸 Welcome — I’m so glad you found your way here 💖. Reaching out takes courage, and I want you to know you don’t have to go through things alone anymore. When you chat with me, you’ll step into a safe space that’s filled with gentleness, patience, and care. ✧˖°⌖⊹₊ ⊹₊⌖°˖✧ 🌼 Availability 🌼 ☀️ I’m usually around 9am–9pm (weekends included). ☁️ Sometimes notifications don’t come through, so if I don’t reply right away, don’t worry — I’ll get back to you as soon as I see your message. 🌙 I take personal requests/PMs only — so even if I look offline, you can still send me a note. 🌸 Chats are usually 30–45 minutes, but if you’d like to connect long-term, I’m more than happy to be a steady listener over time. 💌 Feedback means so much to me — if you feel supported, leaving a review helps me grow and connect with others. ✧˖°⌖⊹₊ ⊹₊⌖°˖✧ 🎧 My Listening Style 🎧 🌿 My style is soft, validating, and steady. I don’t rush you or push you to share more than you want. Instead, I’ll hold space for your feelings, sit with you through the heavy stuff, and remind you that you matter. 🌿 I believe in walking beside you — I won’t “fix” things for you, but I’ll help you notice your own strength and resilience. I’ll ask gentle, thoughtful questions to help you reflect, and I’ll always lead with empathy. 🌿 You’ll never be “too much” here. No matter how messy, foggy, or heavy things feel, I’ll be there to listen without judgment. 🌿 I also know that sometimes the best support is guiding you to someone else — if I think another listener could help more, I’ll be honest and kind about that. 🌿 At the heart of it all, I want you to leave each chat feeling a little lighter, a little safer, and a little more seen than before. ✧˖°⌖⊹₊ ⊹₊⌖°˖✧ 🌷 About Me 🌷 🌸 I’m 21 and currently in college, studying psychology, education, and human development. Helping others is something I feel deeply called to do, and 7 Cups is one of my favorite ways to offer support. 🌸 I’ve been listening on Cups since March, though I’ve been offering support for around 4 years now. 🌸 I’m bubbly and lighthearted (hence my name 🫧), but I also bring calmness and grounding energy to my chats. I can be a little shy at first, but I warm up quickly and love meaningful connections. 🌸 Outside of Cups, you’ll usually find me watching Grey’s Anatomy, The Resident, The Rookie, or Station 19,playing sports, or catching up on some much-needed rest 🌙. 🌸 The areas I take include: anxiety, depression, breakups, PTSD, eating disorders, self-esteem struggles, bullying, self-harm, and weight management. ✧˖°⌖⊹₊ ⊹₊⌖°˖✧ ✨ My Roles at 7 Cups ✨ Along with listening, I’m also active in the community in many ways: 🌼 Verified Listener & Peer Support 🌼 ATL & Chat Support 🌼 Listener Chatroom Supporter & Chatroom Mentor 🌼 Teen Chatroom Mentor & Community Mod  🌼 Community Leader & Listener Verifier These roles simply reflect how much I care about supporting both members and listeners here at 7 Cups. ✧˖°⌖⊹₊ ⊹₊⌖°˖✧ 🚫 Topics I Don’t Take 🚫 Just so you know upfront, here are the areas I’m not the best fit for: ❌ Sex, sexual health, or relationship-related topics ❌ Financial struggles ❌ Disabilities ❌ Chronic pain If you’d like to talk about these, I’ll gently point you toward another listener who may be more equipped to support you. ✧˖°⌖⊹₊ ⊹₊⌖°˖✧ 🌸 A Gentle Reminder 🌸 This is your space. You don’t have to have the “right words,” and you don’t need to apologize for your feelings. I’ll meet you right where you are — with empathy, patience, and care. Healing takes time, and you don’t have to walk through it alone. ₊˚ ‿︵‿︵‿︵୨୧ · · ♡ · · ୨୧‿︵‿︵‿︵ ˚₊ 💬 Quotes I hold close to my heart: 🌱 “Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed. It means it no longer controls you.” 🌙 “Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is just show up.” 🫧 “Even the tiniest bubbles can lift the heaviest waves.” Twin Listener: @compationaterainbow64  Some listeners that have truly impacted my 7cups journey, @ChillingRain @Sunisshiningandsoareyou @Jenna @AnnaSilverberg @SelfCareMatters @daydreammemories  With warmth and kindness always, — Bubbles 🫧🌼✨

***** Not taking any 1-1 chats right now please use https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/ to find a Listener. ***** Will not take any chats with sex of any nature  I am sorry ***** ***** Current Roles *****  Adult and Teen Listener Forum and Room Supporter - for Mindfulness and 50+ Community Mentor - 50+ Needs reply Charoom Supporter - Listener support room 24/7 Mentor for new Listeners Peer supporter  I joined in December of 2017, to help those who have nowhere  to turn. I am here for new listeners also to mentor because beginning a role like a Listener can be scary and want to give back to them. to help guide them and supply the appropriate tolls ( forms, links ) to help them succeed in their role. I help also with any concerns a new listener may have. I have real fun making forum posts for topics that help in my groups Mindfulness and 50+. I think of topics and write a forum post either to educare us more or just to update on a topic of choice. I enjoy writing the post and hearing feedback from others on how a person feels about the topics . My experience on 7 cups makes me love the roles I have and new roles I may apply for. I have grown so much with 7 cups and use certain chat strategies in my friendships offline.
