Needing listener for social anxiety, panic disorder, and loneliness

Hi there,

I am looking for a well-experienced listener with understanding/experience with social anxiety and panic attacks, potentially someone who has struggled with social anxiety themselves.

I prefer to really be the leader of the chat and mostly just vent about why I am feeling anxious or upset. I am not really interested in advice, critiques, or teaching. I actually have a particular anxiety trigger around listeners who give unhelpful advice or insist on their advice or opinions, partially because this brings up memories of my sexual assault and also having narcissist/emotionally abusive parents, so anything that has a parental/professor style where the listener tries to give me advice or tell me what to do is not a good fit.

To me a good listener is able to show compassion even when someone is in a bad mood and maybe feeling a little frustrated, and also should show compassion and flexibility around the fact that the chat itself or certain comments/chat styles make me very anxious and be willing to allow me to set the course and lead. I like the listener to be compassionate, comforting, and affectionate and really just focus on cheering me up, helping me with loneliness, and just being a supportive and caring friend. If you just like to help hurting people feel good and help them with healing, it will probably be a good fit.

Thanks,
Day
