Looking for a long term listener (who doesn't mind lots of rambling)

April 23rd, 2016

I've seen other people try to find listeners here, so I thought I'd try my luck toocheeky Well, I'm looking for a listener who is maybe a bit experienced? Although, it's definitely not a requirement for me. I'm really just looking for a person who wouldnt mind a member who could ramble and tell you their background story and help me when I'm feeling especially sad or maybe when I just need a little positive feedback. I've tried going through the search for listeners, to find a good one that doesn't mind building up a long term support system but I ran into problems. They either end up leaving the site (if i enjoyed speaking to them) or just never connect with them enough to feel comfortable contacting them again.

I don't think I'm too much of a pain but I've really been wanting someone I can continue talks with, without having to explain my whole story over and over to a new listener. I've felt like my growth process became stunted from having to always explain myself and I lost hope in getting support from a listener. So, I guess that's why I'm here on the forums now, asking for help. I've seen alot of lovely listeners here on the forums, so I was hoping I could snag one of you! laugh

My talks usually consist of issues surrounding depression, anxiety, disability support, breakup recovery, loneliness, family stress and forgiveness. I'd really would like someone who is on fairly often and does not mind having long talks at times (I really meant it when I said I can ramble on cheeky). Right now I am on a tablet because my laptop is being repaired, so I'd like someone who doesn't mind a slow typer while I am on my tablet. Although, I am very fast when I am typing on a keyboard and most of our talks will be me on my laptop, after I get it back.

Well, I think thats all, phew! This took me forever to write, so hopefully someone actually reads this! haha

Hello :)

I am on most of my daytime ( I live in IST). I don't mind long talks or slow typing. I am a slow typer myself(I use a tab and hadn't gotten used to touch screen yet). Please don't hesitate to pm me anytime, and maybe we can see if we connect..

Take care!

@TrueArrow - Not sure if I'm what you're looking for or not, but I do enjoy working with longer term members. It's hard for me to do super frequent live chats (I usually can't do more than once a week for live chatting), but I am also open to more of a back and forth messaging as we each see each other's responses - more email style, but via PM. If that sounds like it would be helpful, I'd love to help, and if not, I hope you find someone who is a better fit for you! :)

I also moved this to the 'Member Classifieds' forum so that more listeners might see it

@Anomalia Thank you! I wasn't sure where to place my forum thread cheeky I've thought about it and I'm actually thinking that maybe having more than one listener to speak with on a semi-frequent basis may be best for me. I'm definitely the type of person who likes to stick with one person but I feel I may overwhelm someone by having them as my sole listener. I'd definitely be interested in IMing you or anyone else that would like to listen to someone when they are available.

I spoke with Eunoia for awhile today and they were absolutely lovely but I'm still open to any other listeners that wouldn't mind listening when I need to talk. Thank you for moving my post and I'll keep you in mind the next time I need to speak to someone! heart
