Need to talk to someone?

My name is Asher, and I valued empathy and emotional awareness from a young age. Even as a child, I naturally found myself being a comforter by listening to others, offering reassurance, and staying present when someone was struggling. Over time, this habit has grown into a genuine commitment to supporting people with care and intention. During school retreats and community experiences, I often find myself following my teachers and pastors. I spent time talking with others about their stories, challenges, and successes, learning how meaningful it can be simply to listen without judgment. I notice that when people share both their struggles and their joys, I feel a sense of connection by experiencing sorrow with them in difficult moments and happiness with them in moments of growth. I find deep fulfillment in being a listener for others, and I am motivated to join this organization because I believe everyone deserves a safe and supportive space. It would be my passion to contribute my time and care to helping others feel heard, understood, and less alone.

I’m not here to fix nor diagnose. I’m not a friend, nor your guide for the happy ever after. Not giving advice nor the replacement of a therapist. Just a quiet passerby, like those you see in the blur of everyday life. Maybe we speak, maybe we don’t. But if we do, I’ll hold space for your words, without judgment or expectation. (Only in the mentioned topics in categories section.) Important Note: If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, intentions, or attempts, thoughts or acts of harming others, or if you are in any dangerous situation such as sexual assault, self-harm, abuse, or any form of violence, or facing a medical emergency , please know that 7Cups is not a crisis or emergency service. We, as listeners, are volunteers who offer emotional support only and are not professionals trained to handle these situations. I kindly encourage you to reach out to the proper emergency services or crisis lines in your area as soon as possible. Your safety matters.💙 https://www.7cups.com/crisis/ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1111z8brHtY2wphqibHXoxo8t45ExFbm5K_rVimZKwiA/htmlview#gid=1239984559 https://www.7cups.com/forum/listenerjourney/ListenerResourcesMockChatGuides_2381/HandlingMedicalEmergenciesinChats_74187/ Arabic Translation: أنا مش هنا علشان أصلّح، أو أشخّص. مش صاحب، ولا دليلك لحياة سعيدة. مش بدي نصايح و لا بديل للمعالج النفسي. أنا مجرد عابر هادي و بسيط، زي اللي بنقابلهم كل يوم في الزحمة من غير ما نحس. يمكن نتكلم، ويمكن لأ. بس لو اتكلمنا، هسمعك من غير حُكم، ومن غير ما أستنى حاجة. (بس في المواضيع الموجودة في خانة مواضيع الاستماع). تنويه مهم: لو إنت بتمرّ بـأفكار أو محاولات انتحار، أو أفكار لإيذاء غيرك، أو في أي موقف خطر زي اعتداء جنسي، إيذاء نفسك، عنف بأي شكل، أو أي حالة طبية طارئة , لازم تعرف إن المنصة هنا مش مركز طوارئ أو أزمة. إحنا كمستمعين هنا متطوعين بنقدّم دعم معنوي بس، ومش متخصصين ولا مدرّبين نتعامل مع الحالات دي. 💙 من فضلك تواصل فورًا مع الجهات أو الخدمات المتاحة في بلدك اللي تقدر تساعدك بشكل مباشر. سلامتك أهم حاجة https://www.7cups.com/crisis/ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1111z8brHtY2wphqibHXoxo8t45ExFbm5K_rVimZKwiA/htmlview#gid=1239984559 https://www.7cups.com/forum/listenerjourney/ListenerResourcesMockChatGuides_2381/HandlingMedicalEmergenciesinChats_74187/

I like the 3.a.m version of people, vulnerable, honest & real

I can't provide you with answers or advice, but I will listen and try my best to understand your situation and the feelings surrounding it. Don't hesitate to message me - your emotions are valid, your needs are just as important as anyone else's, you deserve to be heard out. 

Hi :) I hope to listen to you and help in any possible way whether it's through working together to find ways and resources to help you out of whatever situation you're in, or simply being a non-judgemental listening ear when you need one. Send me a message if you'd like to talk, I'll reply as soon as I can. 

People change, circumstances change, and sometimes we change our minds too.

Here to listen to your problems, no matter how big or small they are!

The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience. A process that cannot be understood by stopping it. 

- 🌼 If you reach out to me while I am offline, please keep in mind that it will likely take 1-2 weeks for me to respond. Briefly introduce yourself and what you would like to talk about and let me know what days and times would generally work for you, so we can set up a time to chat as soon as possible 🌼 - ------------------------- Hey! Great that you found me here on 7cups. My screenname here is MoonlightPrimrose, but you can call me Louie or Lou if you want. My pronouns are they/them and he/him. I've been listening on and offline for more than 7 years now, I like to read, I like to be creative in many different ways with photography, drawing, painting, writing and playing DnD and I have a gentle spiritual self-care practice of Tarot, Yoga Asana, meditation and other grounding and connecting techniques. I am also quite passionate about social justice and try to learn and unlearn every day. I do my best to consider my own positioning as a white, upper-middle class neurodivergent disabled queer trans person in my listening work. I am very queer. I use a lot of different words and labels to describe myself, depending on people and situations in my life. Some of them are: trans*, non-binary, gay, transmasculine, greyromantic, or simply queer. Feeling alone, overwhelmed or sad is something I know, but I also know how much it helps to just talk to someone... It's not always a solution to every single problem, but it's often a relief to know that there are people out there who care for you and who know what you are going through. We are meant to support each other. We are not meant to fight through this life on our own. I've experienced struggles with bullying, school and family stress, anxiety, depression, coming out and other issues of queer (gender) identity myself and this might help you feel heard if we share these experiences. If you feel like we might be a good match: Just send me a message. As mentioned above it might take 1-2 weeks for me to respond, but we'll schedule a time to chat if I have capacity and see where it goes from there. The chats I schedule are up to 50 minutes long and my timezone is CET. If I have the capacity and feel like we match well I will offer follow-up chats towards the end of our first one. As you might have noticed: I'm from Germany and German is my native language. So if there are fellow Germans out there who want to talk, schreibt mir einfach, dann können wir natürlich auch Deutsch reden :) ------------------------- - Louie -
