Need to talk to someone?

🎭

I have always been interested in understanding people, especially what goes on beneath the surface of someone’s thoughts, emotions, and behavior. I enjoy learning about psychology and the brain, but I also believe that sometimes understanding someone starts with something much simpler: listening. I try to be the kind of person who makes others feel heard rather than judged or rushed. I have learned that everyone has experiences that you cannot always see from the outside :)

Hello, my name is Dara. I am someone who deeply values kindness, empathy, and meaningful human connection. I have always been interested in understanding people, their emotions, and the experiences that shape who they are. Through my studies in psychology and my own life experiences, I have learned the importance of having someone who truly listens without judgment. I enjoy being there for others, offering a safe space to talk, and helping people feel heard and understood. I believe that sometimes people do not need someone to solve their problems—they simply need someone who can sit with them, listen, and remind them that they are not alone. I am here to provide a compassionate ear, support, and encouragement. Everyone has their own story, and I would be honored to listen to yours.

✨ Welcome, dear soul. This is a safe space where you can speak freely. I'll listen with kindness, support you without judgment, and remind you that you don't have to face everything alone ✦

I love basketball and traveling and cooking! 

Not taking new chats. ------------------------- Coming, going, the waterbirds don't leave a trace, don't follow a path. I'm Charlie and I'm trained, verified and experienced as an active listener for both adults and teens. I like to support people who are struggling with something. Also people who aren't struggling with anything. And people who aren't sure whether they're struggling with anything or not. Please do not message me hoping to start a chat. I am not taking new chats. The poem is said to be by Eihei Dōgen, a Japanese poet who wrote it around eight hundred years ago. I don't know why I like it. I just do. My photo is the moon shining on the sea. There's some darkness and some clouds there but the light of the moon shines on everything. I like this too. Thank you for reading my profile. I'm glad you are here! ------------------------- In an emergency or a crisis: If you are in an emergency or a crisis—for example, if you are at immediate risk of suicide or other serious harm—7 Cups is not the right place, because we cannot deal with emergencies or provide crisis counselling.

Please do not message me from a listener account to chat about personal issues. Use a member account for that. To understand why, see: Listener and Member Roles [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenersOnlyForums_38/GlensThoughts_143/ListenerandMemberRoles_210/1/] Schedule: I don't have a fixed schedule. I'm online some weekdays between about 4:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. US Eastern Time. In the UK this is 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. On other days and at weekends I'm often online too, but at times that are not predictable. If you message me or tag me in a forum I'm usually able to respond within a day or two.

Life is too deep for words. so don’t try to describe it - just live it.

Hey there! I'm Samantha, currently pursuing my Master's degree in Art Therapy. Throughout my journey, I've found solace in art and spirituality during challenging times. From personal experience, I've battled through grief and loss, feelings of shame and isolation, and addiction. If you're going through a tough time, here's a song I'd like to share with you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Nri2626CfI  Remember, you don't have to face things alone. Some people genuinely care about you. Reach out your hand, and we'll go through this together. 💙💙💙

A good best-friend material. Attentive listener. Ordinary person. 

Welcome!
