Need to talk to someone?

10/20 - 7/14

Reaching out is a great thing, a strong thing. Sometimes just talking helps. Listeners are eager to acknowledge what's said without judgment; to empathize; to encourage self-reflection, honesty, and mindfulness. There are always choices, no matter how small or undesirable, and those choices can be explored safely.

Hi! I'm from the UK. I'm very happy to reply to your messages when I'm online (like a text chat) , or for us to arrange a 45min session - your choice! For a session let me know when you are free, days, times, and your time zone, and we'll set something up. I am a senior, and I particularly enjoy working with adults (not teens) who are sincere about their own personal development.   I should tell you that I work with most people well, but I do have some doubts about online-only romantic relationships (I don't think they are a substitute for physical contact, basically, and can even be a way of avoiding intimacy), so if that is what you want to talk about, that's fine, but do please be aware of my views (Difficulties in online romantic relationships come up a lot on 7C, and, in my view, there are good reasons for that). My hobbies include reading, playing and listening to music, meditation and TaiChi. I also waste a lot of time,  which you can help me fill usefully ! I am spiritually minded, and I do not believe any religion or atheism is the one true way. I am happy to answer  your questions about this, however this quote may help you to "place" me, if you need to. There are three truths which are absolute, and which cannot be lost, but yet may remain silent for lack of speech.  * The soul of man is immortal, and its future is the future of a thing whose growth and splendor has no limit.   *The principle which gives life dwells in us, and without us, is undying and eternally beneficent, is not heard or seen or smelt, but can be perceived by the man or woman who desires perception.   *Each man and woman is his own absolute lawgiver, the dispenser of glory or gloom to himself; the decreer of his life, his reward, his punishment.  These truths, which are as great as is life itself, are as simple as the simplest mind of man. Feed the hungry with them. (The Three Truths - from The Idyll of the White Lotus by Mabel Collins) I have no connection whatever to any other DavidEss on the www, this username is unique to Sevencups..I would also like to emphasise that I have nothing to advertise or promote apart from my presence and awareness :) .

Hi there and welcome, 😀 I’m Rosie, a verified listener and I’ve been here on 7 Cups for five years. As I’ve gone through some difficult times myself, I know just how good it is to have someone you can talk to.  As I’m passionate about mental health I’m here to listen and be there for you. Please be reassured I'm non judgemental and want to help make you feel supported and heard. LGBTQ+ friendly 🌈  If I’m not online then please feel free to leave me a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. My only ask is that you please share a little about what it is you’d like to chat about in your message, thank you.     PLEASE NOTE:  I’m here to listen and chat…NO sex chat.  I do accept casual chats. I'm not comfortable with sexual health related topics. As I follow the community guidelines, I do expect you to as well. If you need immediate support, please browse for a listener who is online. Thanks Rosie 🌹 Graduate from the; Quality Listening Program Leadership Development Programme Inner Development Goals Course 🌹 7 Things about me; I’m an animal lover, especially dogs and have two myself  I love dark chocolate I prefer baking to cooking  I’m a proud LGBT+ ally I work and am also a pt carer for my lovely mum who’s in her 80s I’m a coffee lover and could just drink one now  I like to laugh…so do it as much as I can 😀 ******* 🌹 One of my favourite quotes; When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hold on. 🌹 A few things I remind myself of; ‘Staying positive doesn’t mean you have to be happy all the time. It means that even on hard days, you know that there are better days coming’. ’Everyone you meet is going through something that you have no idea of. If you can’t help then at least be kind’. ‘To get a rainbow you have to first deal with the rain’ 🌈 ******* 🌹 When away from 7 Cups I find the following helpful to relax;  Reading, swimming, walking my dogs or sitting out in the garden with a nice cuppa.

This is a test, a test to see if you are a human. Please note if something applies to you: Have you ever eaten a booger long past your childhood? Have you ever made a small, weird sound when you remembered something embarrassing? Have you ever purposely lower-cased the first letter of a text to come across as sad or disappointed? Have you ever ended a text with a period as a sign of aggression? Have you ever laughed or smiled when someone said something unpleasant to you, and you wondered the rest of the day why you reacted that way? Have you ever put on a pair of pants, and then realized much later that there was a loose sock smushed up against your thigh? Have you ever tried to guess someone else's password so many times that it locked their account? Have you ever had a nagging feeling that one day you will be discovered as a fraud? Have you ever hoped that there was some ability you hadn't discovered yet that you were just naturally talented at? Have you ever broken something in real life, and then found yourself looking for an "undo" button in real life? Have you ever marveled at how someone you thought was so ordinary could suddenly become so beautiful? Have you ever stared at your phone, smiling like an idiot while texting someone? Have you ever subsequently texted that person the phrase, "I'm staring at the phone, smiling like an idiot"? Have you ever been tempted to, and gave into that temptation, of looking through someone else's phone? Have you ever had a conversation with yourself, and then suddenly realized you're a terrible person to yourself? Has your phone ever run out of battery in the middle of an argument, and it sort of felt like the phone was breaking up with both of you? Have you ever thought that working on an issue between you and yourself was futile, because it should just be more natural than this, or this is supposed to happen just naturally? Have you ever realized that very little, in the long run, just happens naturally? Have you ever woken up blissfully, and suddenly been flooded by the awful remembrance that someone had left you? Have you ever lost the ability to imagine a future without a person that no longer was in your life? Have you ever looked back on that event with the sad smile of autumn and the realization that futures will happen, regardless? Congratulations, you have now completed and passed the test. You are human. Want to know who has the best 7 Cups profile? Click here!
