@xoxorachelleit is not uncommon to get guests/members that hard to connect with or that just say very little. It's important to remind yourself that there is only so much you can do and don't be hard on yourself if the member isn't meeting you half way. Here is the link for the mock chat transcript, it has a variety of situations that often face as listeners. Perhaps it will be of some help next time you find yourself in a similar situation.smiley Keep your head up and don't get discouraged.https www.7cups.com/forum/ListenersOnlyForums_38/MockChatTranscriptLibrary_109/

I actually just saw this but my first conversation went great! The person eventually opened up after asking a lot of open ended questions. I was thinking I was nervous at first that's why I freaked out but I calmed myself down and got to business! :) Thank you for the advice!

I'm so glad things worked out for you. Of course you are nervous, it's your first day with us. Just breathe, smile, relax and most of all just keep on swimming swimming swimming (sorry, but I'll always love that movie, Nemo)!! wink

Thank you so much for being so supportive! Oh my, that's my favorite line! It's an inside joke I always have with my friends. Love that movie and especially that quote!

Questions like these may be better if posted on the listener side of the forum :)

Hi Dears,

Is there any way to find a Guest User who i have been talking too? Kindly note that the username is not availble under "My Impact".
