Looking for empathetic, validating listener for anxiety/social anxiety
Hi all,
It's nothing personal but I seem to have had some rough experiences with listeners in the past, so I am hoping to find people who are better fits/better suited for the style of listening that works for me.
DO:
1.Validation = I hear you. That is a good point. You have a right to feel that way.
2. Empathy/kindness – That sounds rough. I am sorry you feel that way. I well do my best to help you feel better.
3. Encouragement- you are a great person. You can get through this.
DON'T:
1. Be patronizing
2. Talk too much/interrupt/walls of text. I prefer for me to talk more
3. Give unsolicited advice/opinions. Be pushy about said advice/opinions
Thanks for reading.

How old are you? Where do you live? What topics do you want to chat about?
I might be able to help. I'm 25 years old, Female. I listen to both adults and teens. I live in Romania, GMT+3 / ET+7. Feel free to send me a message!
@cristiana33 It says "listener unavailable" on your page?
@Daydreamer47
It does, but if I am offering myself it means I choose to help certain people and am not available for all. :)

Hey there!
Its great that you have come to the fourms to find a suited listener, explaining the type of listener which your looking for, really gives the listeners an opportunity to respond. I really hope this works out for you.
Your welcome to send me a message, however at this point, I'd like to explain, I will be taking a break within the next two weeks, so if I can help in the meantime, sure, go head.
That goes for you too @brightSouth4419
Take care!
Thank you all for your help! I will follow-up as soon as I am able.
Hello I am also looking for a listener who has been through anxiety/depression , who understands what its like to feel stuck for a long time despite our best efforts.Someone who understands being in an "inbetween" state (being aware of a new reality/consciousness from time to time,seeing life as it really is).Also maybe problems of entering relationships.And not being able to let go and experience feelings.
Someone my age (26) or above would be great!!
ok i know this sounss very specific muhaha but I often feel people dont understand my feelings as its a little extreme and I feel a bit isolated.Someone who has gone through the same (if that exists) and overcame it would be awesome.
Many thx x
