Not currently taking new member chats  Hi there! I'm bookworm274 but you can just call me bookworm, book or worm. My chat style: My chat times range from 20 minutes (typically a more casual chat) to 60 minutes. However, I am always happy to do longer chats as long as they have been scheduled. Please scroll down to the list that states the topics that I am comfortable taking before asking to chat with me, thank you. Status meanings: My status is typically on Red or Orange, I hardly ever have it on Green. So please feel free to send me a message no matter what colour my status is because I may be on the site!

 Here for you 

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!

Hi there, I am married and have two kids.  I have personal experience with depression, anxiety, and parenting a child with autism.  However, I am comfortable discussing a wide range of topics so feel free to leave me a message and we can schedule a time to chat.    I am LGBTQ+ friendly.   My chats:   I do scheduled chats for 45 minutes with the option for a 15 minute follow up chat at a later date, if necessary.  However, at this time I am not taking repeat/long term chats.  If you require a long term listener then I can help you to find one who is able to work with you.   Also, I prefer not to take chats on Eating Disorders or medical issues.   Please note:  I get many PMs every day so sometimes it takes me a couple days to reply.  Thanks for your patience. My status:   Online:  I am online and available to take a chat. Busy:  I am busy with chats or projects on the site.  You can leave me a message and I will respond when I can.  I may or may not respond before I log off. Offline:  I am not presently online or I am busy with projects/chats.  You can leave a message and I will get back to you at my earliest convenience.
