@Tyler5641 Hey there. This is a legitimate place to explore things about the site that may be working or not working for members. We need to remember to be constructive, though. I edited your post for language, but that doesn't make your feelings invalid.

Hi! Im Diana and for now im a listener and also i will reach for the help that i need when im ready for it and all the confrontation and process that it will follow to.

I think that thos phrases as you say are dumb. I have study psychology for a while and i have never hear anybody say this or any therapist of me. Anyone, except you can reach for happiness or a change in your life, after all it's YOUR life.

This can get better or even worse, that's not a fact of therapy, that's a fact of life. People somethimes lie without the intention of give hope, people somethimes see the rainbow after the storm but again, only US, as people are the ones who can reach for the rainbow.

Indeed, in this place you can found a lot of interesting and informative stuff and the most important, support and a help to get out of the maze that our mind can be somethimes.

I hope you can reach for all the therms that you say and reach not for the rainbow but for the pot of gold than can make your lofe brighter

Allways, Diana.

Pd: sorry if i misspell some words, im not a native but i try my best.

I can imagine being told this would be frustrating and it is not even the way a listener should be talking. Have you tried browsing for a verified listener?

Yeah that's kinda why I don't really use the listener feature. Those phrases just kind of imply that it's all your fault because you weren't happy and jolly enough but really sometimes things are caused by circumstances that are out of our control. And they don't get that sometimes...
