Hello! Welcome to 7cups, I'm glad you've made the decision to join us today! I've been here since 2016, but have taken many extended breaks over the years. I come back whenever I feel like I need community support, and it never disappoints. I usually lurk in the group support chats on my member account, but I like to spend time as a listener to pay it forward. Please note I am not currently accepting new chats!

Hi, I'm Julia, and I'm here to listen. I know that going through tough times can feel isolating. I hope to offer you a safe space where you can express whatever you're thinking and feeling. I'm here to listen without judgment, and to make you feel safe. You can talk about anything you like. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

❤️💛💚💙💜 My name is Heather (my nickname is H), and I head the 7 Cups Community Management Team. Please drop by my PMs if you have any questions or safety concerns! Fun fact: I have a bird! His name is Flip: https://imgur.com/a/7CE0WQG ❤️💛💚💙💜 NOTE: I am unable to take member support chats as a listener. To find a listener click the Browse Listeners. Listeners indicate if they are taking on new chats in their profile. The green dot indicates they are currently online. For urgent needs please join the general queue ("Start new chat" on the app) and the first available listener will connect.

Please note that I am only active periodically on forums/group chats at this time. Consider seeking another listener or other resources here on 7 cups if needed. There are times that we really think to ourselves, "man, I've seen much better days." I infer that's why you are here. I'm here to hopefully help make what you may be going through feel a little lighter.  Pronouns: He/Him Important: Please note that listeners do not give advice. ______________________________________________ Please find a different listener or contact your local crisis resources if needed.  

People find it easy to open up to me but i am straight forward and brutally honest i dont beat around the bush,"casually cruel in the name of being honest". so if you wanna get real i m here

✨️please read me✨️ Hello  I'm here to hear you out. I can guarantee complete discretion and acceptance. With me, you'll have the time and patience to share whatever you feel like.  I have myself had experience with various mental health and chronic conditions. I have life experience and I've been through a lot of things. There are the positive reviews to vouch for me as well.  In my free time I write, I play guitar a little and paint. I have a few cats, dogs and a pet bird. I love animals, music and films. I listen to old american folk and some indie bands, I like watching arthouse films.  Text me if you need an ear to listen. :) Due to some very uncomfortable and serious situations I'll mostly be accepting direct requests. I hope you understand. :) I don't feel knowledgable enough nor do I feel comfortable talking about: * Severe abuse  * Sexual topics and abuse * Extreme poverty * Relationship/breakup drama/blame games * Gambling/crime * Dangerous situations/physical violence * Untreated bpd/other personality disorders * Self diagnosing/using a listener to diagnose you  Before contacting a Listener please read Safety guidelines https://www.7cups.com/community-guidelines/p/General-Guidelines-f9210097010243cba35a46e219dc2214 P.S. * If I don't answer right away have patience, I'll get back to you as soon as I can. (The app can be buggy, the internet slow and other things that obstruct conversation flow) * If you are not in the mood for a conversation please do some self care and come back after you're ready * If you don't know what to say I'll try and help lead the conversation. If you expect me to entertain you I will end the conversation. If you don't respond within 10 minutes I'm ending the conversation. * I'm not a professional, don't treat me as one. * If you're not a native English speaker, message a listener that speaks your native language (language barriers can limit understanding and create unnecessary tension or conflict) * I can only talk for about an hour per member a day. * Chit chats and casual chats are okay and welcome. Feel free to check in. * If you have an emergency seek out services in your country. * I can't offer advice nor share my personal info. Please be safe when using the app. Emergencies include : actively or passively feeling suicidal (not feeling like being alive), dealing with crime and actively being in danger. Listeners can't help you with everything, seeking professional help is always better. * If you're being rude, passive agressive, manipulative, harrassing, insulting, patronizing or you ask for personal information persistently you will be blocked and if there is a reason I submit reports regularly. Thank you.

***Please note: I am not currently available for 1-on-1 support chats. With my roles as a community mentor leader, group support mentor, and chatroom moderator I will be focusing my efforts primarily on community teams, forums and group support activities.*** It's not a community without 'u'! About me: Others have described me as an empathetic individual who strives to be objective, motivational, and empowering. I do firmly believe that if you challenge yourself to look at a situation from a different angle you will see options you have overlooked, and that sometimes even unpalatable solutions need to be seen for what they are, possible solutions. I aim to offer a respectful and non-judgmental ear, keeping in mind that my personal values and beliefs are just that: Mine and need only apply to me/my life.  I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community, some of the labels I use, or have used, to describe(not define) myself include but are not limited to, lesbian, homoromantic asexual and demiromantic. While I am open to and accepting of all members of the LGBTQ+ community, I feel my personal experience makes me most suited to supporting those who relate to or don similar labels. Now entering my 40's I have had experiences with a variety of issues from early childhood to present. I have found this can enhance my natural ability to empathize while still offering alternate perspectives. I primarily provide support for and am most comfortable with topics I have indicated in my profile. There are certain topics that I do not take chats involving, namely drugs, alcohol, detailed discussion of sexual topics, or any which contravene the rules of 7 Cups. "No matter what we have come through, or how many perils we have safely passed, or how imperfect and jagged our life has been, we cannot in our heart of hearts imagine how it could have been different. As we look back on it, it slips in behind us in orderly disarray, and, with all its mistakes, acquires a sort of eternal fitness, and even, at times, a poetic glamour." – Randolph Silliman Bourne

I'm Kelly, I've been a listener here on 7 cups for quite some time now and I'd like to think that I've learnt a lot about how to support people who need it. I, like most people have been through some really difficult life challenges but I believe that by listening to each other and talking about our problems we can comfort each other and make things a little easier.
