Members: I Have A Question For You!
As you may already be aware, the listener side of 7 Cups is a bustling land of opportunity! In addition to listening, listeners can get involved in numerous projects, join various teams, and learn and grow within new roles (like peer support, moderating and mentoring). We're aware that right now, there is a lot less opportunity on the member side and we're feeling a little bit bad about this. 
So far, we've offered members the opportunity to lead discussions and to become Welcome Guides... but at 7 Cups we believe that you are actually the experts on you. With that in mind, it makes sense to just hold our thoughts for a moment and ask the experts themselves!
╰☆╮If you could create a new role or project on 7 Cups for members to get involved in, what would it be?╰☆╮
✦ It must be something that you would like to do as a member.
✦ It's absolutely okay to think outside the box and be creative.
✦ And that's all! :)
Please post your thoughts and ideas below. I'm excited to hear what you come up with!
A spirituality discussion chatroom where interested people can discuss any aspects of spirituality. It would have a great impact on our understanding of god, freedom, sufferring, death, life.......blah blah
A place where people who need friends or doesn't have anyone to talk to can make friends for longer run maybe lifetime. Like secret dairy friends. People could be anonymous if they'd like. It would let people open up, have a friend to talk about anything and everything. And someone to guide them.
@Anseela..... Honestly your more didn't than you know because I almost can't let anyone in. After 8 years of just....... Yeah will leave it at that. No I know if I trust anyone they will let me down... I have a different life nowe and my babies are safe and I have y'all thank God I find my home.
It would be great to have an easier way to post pictures.
@Lila22.......I have no clue still....😶😵 how and where? Lila if you don't mind I mean... If yourbust really get it 7 cups needs there people.:)
Something I'm unsure of is if the standard options I have to receive a growth point in an hnlaid version of the app are all there are in that feature. I know there's an option to list gratitudes, watch a video, listen to a tape, etc. This is my main benefit from the app so far, this little activities. I look forward to them. :) But I'd love to see more options, such as maybe saying what you love about yourself, or uploading a picture of a time you enjoyed, or posting a goal you have, or anything like what's already available. 
I think a blog where anyone can post their problems and random people can give their suggestions anonymously, would be awesome
😄
@whatdoyouwant
This is actually a really great idea.
@SenpaiXD
thanks buddy 😄
@whatdoyouwant I love writing so, yeah! will be great 
@whatdoyouwant This is such an awesome idea. I would totally take advantage of a feature like this. 
that actually sounds like a great idea.where you can let you mind wander free and explore different options@whatdoyouwant
@whatdoyouwant that will be a really amazing idea!!

How to be happy again
I would love if there was some sort of positive message network that's soley for telling happy stories that are 100% trigger-free. Example, if someone has a really cute story about their new puppy and all the cute and happy things he did today, they could post that. I would love to read some stuff like that when I'm not feeling positive.
@scarletLyricist that's a great idea! I also think it'd be good for not only the reader, but the person sharing the happy story. it could reinforce to them that happy things do happen sometimes, and help them feel even happier by knowing they're helping! c:
@years Yes, exactly!
How about a role where they act as a mediator between members/guests and moderators. I noticed that mods are getting alot of negativity at times...Maybe if we could have something like that...a mediator from the listener side and one from the member side. The mediators are who ppl go to about complaints and concerns.
Also how about a room for positivity, all positives...quotes, stories, chats. If a listener can be in this room often to help guide ppl to the right direction.
These are just thoughts...
@Destiny7575 Not always knowing what or wanting to talk exactly but I come here quite often lost and very not myself... Not a clue in the world as to what might help but somehow 7 cups has never let me down... something thats a reliable source of positivity that one may look forward to or even depend on has great potential to become what so many could truly benefit from.
@TIGGERinSEARCHofLOSTstripes .... thank you. I have been with 7c for a while now and have seen the changes. this is why i would like to have a positivity room for people to just go in...no drama, no arguements, no nonsense except positive vibes. hope it happens :)
@Destiny7575 a positivity room would be awesome!!
@purpleVase8255 .. Thank you, I think got a support site, we can't have only rooms where we let out negativity, we need positives too without anyone feeling awkward about it
@Destiny7575..... Your right because sometimes you need something but you don't want to talk about the pain or abuse it any terror just nice to know w when I get off of work I'll get see all kinds of thing that I know will set right. You seem like s pretty cool chick.😎 i do you know how I found 7 cups? And how did you if you don't mind me asking?
@TIGGERinSEARCHofLOSTstripes ... I found 7c thru Google. It was a bad night for me, worst ever, I needed someone to talk to..it was late n my therapist isn't available n my friends were already asleep. So I jus decided to search and tried this site out and I've been here. I enjoy it here...ppl became family
@Destiny7575.... Absolutely identical to how i found my 7 cups as well!!! Lol....I thought I was in desperate need to talk to someone about my many problems late one night but befor I knew it just listening to others actually did wonders for me in many ways. My dad is a recovered alcoholic 4 years this September and he goes to meetingd all the time. But 7 cups is just always with you... ;)
@TIGGERinSEARCHofLOSTstripes ... That's me too, talking and listening to others made me feel better and the convenience of having 7c all the time is wonderful. My psychiatrist said to keep it up with 7c.
@TIGGERinSEARCHofLOSTstripes Same! I joined as a listener & member around the same time. I really needed a sense of purpose at the time & I've always found purpose in empowering people. Empowering people offline was more risky though, at least how I was going about it. I've been through some stuff & I finally met some people who could relate in college. Some were at a point in their lives where they needed a friend but thought they needed someone to take the bullets for them. I cut them off which was good for me but I felt like I'd lost my biggest way of making an impact on the world. As a student I work hard mostly so I can make an impact someday. I need to know I'm contributing something to the world around me now to stay sane. I wrote some blog posts I didn't publish anywhere until much later & then a friend told me about this site. It was perfect. I could offer my services to people who actually wanted them. Offline, a lot of people's cries for help come in the form of hurting themselves or others, yelling at you, talking smack about you, even actually trying to sabotage you. It's really sad to see & as much as I try to help them, there's a limit to what you can do w/o putting yourself or others in danger. Here, people want my help & I don't have to disguise it as something else or worry about if it's a good time to bring it up. It's a beautiful world where people can be open.
@HaileTruci I am new this app! I want to know how can I cancel this app and pay my money back?
I hope there's a donation button.
I appreciate every listener who has spent their precious time listening to my meaningless talk.
For some listeners, I really really thank them. They are really nice people, like angels. I want to do something for them, apart from a positive comment. I don't have big money, but i still want to contribute a bit, financially, to them. If some day i have more money, I can come back and contribute some more. Just like i contributed some small donation to wikipedia, i really want to contribute some to certain listeners. Maybe not much at the moment though, but it's my humble thank-you from the bottom of my heart!
