Not fitting in.

I have always had a problem with fitting in. It has gotten worse as i get older, i am 56 now.

I don't even fit in among my so called peers. I feel like I am intruding on someone else space when I am in chat. Weather its someone muting me because they don't like something i have said or having posting deleted because they are not sufficiently upbeat. Either way i don't feel welcome and comfortable to speak my mind.

is 7cups just another dead end?

From what I understand, you are looking for a sense of community. And instead of connection, you are finding rejection. I am sorry.

@Gettingbettertoday I'm sorry you have been feeling so alone and unheard. I would be happy to set up a time to chat with you more about what you have been dealing with. To answer your question, I have really enjoyed my time on 7 cups, both as a member and as a listener. I know there are so many great people here, but it might also take a few tries to find someone you really connect with. There are also awesome resources here for dealing with things like depression, anxiety, and loneliness. I wish you the best, and feel free to reach out!

With 7 cups, it can be about finding the right spot to build community. Here is a great location.

It is a bit slow, but I will answer your post every day. I won't delete posts or blame you for not being upbeat enough.

All of this can be very, very hard.

But the key is that we don't give up on one another. @Gettingbettertoday
