I'm having trouble becoming a listener, I go to settings and log out, but I can only change notifications,please help!
@Fox123456789123456789 Here is the link to become a listener :D
Whenever my partner shows sign of anger or dislike towards me I react aggressively to the situation and the more he becomes repulsive at me the more aggressive I become. This, I notice as a reaction of my fear towards dealing with my partner's way of expressing his anger/contempt. How can I curb my fear and aggressive reaction if this sort of situation occuring again?

Hello there, lovely Yuanita, I am so sorry to hear that your relationship is so troubled at the moment, and I'm so proud of you for reaching out to get some help. I had a look through the Q&A, and I found this, this and this, which might be good reading for you, but it would be amazing if you could submit some questions, you can find out how on the first page of this thread :)
I hope things get easier for you soon, my love, and please remember that all listeners are here for you if you want to talk. It sounds like you might really benefit from someone to talk to 1 on 1 right now, so please don't hesitate for a moment to reach out to a listener! You can choose your own listener here or post here to explain exactly what you'd like from a listener.
All my love, Lyra
Am I a bad person if I don't feel any emotional connection with my parents? I try to have a relationship with them even though they have abandoned me on and off throughout my life, but frankly if I never saw or heard from them again I wouldn't be upset. Life is just easier without contact with them. Friends tell me that I will regret not having a relationship if/when they pass, but idts. Am I wrong for feeling this way?
@honestApple8697 Your not a bad person for feeling that way:) You said that they're abandoned you when you were younger and they were in your on and off. I think that might be one of the reason why you don't feel a emotional connection with them because they weren't there for you when you were younger. But I do think you should have a talk with them if they do reach out to y
@honestApple8697 *you your friends are right you are going to do this for you. Good luck :)
@honestApple8697
Hello there, lovely, thank you so much for asking this question. I had a look through the Q&A, and I don't think anyone has asked anything similar! It would be amazing if you could submit some questions, you can find out how on the first page of this thread. But, the short answer is that you're not a bad person <3 Your life is your own, and your decisions are yours to make, so you should do what makes you happy!
I hope things get easier for you soon, my love, and please remember that all listeners are here for you if you want to talk. It sounds like you might really benefit from someone to talk to 1 on 1 right now, so please don't hesitate for a moment to reach out to a listener! You can choose your own listener here or post here to explain exactly what you'd like from a listener.

Hey, I'm new here as of the last couple of weeks or so. I am enjoying getting to know 7 cups and what it has to offer, it seems like an amazing community. I have read some great posts on the feed and felt inspired to make a couple of my own. One was a post that my growth path encouraged me to make and another was about spreading love in the wake of Orlando. I've noticed everyone's posts getting reactions and hearts but not one person has reacted to my posts. Am I missing something?
@Sydney33 Check again 
. Those two feed posts are so definitely HEART worthy! ♥︎ I'm glad that you came across stuff that inspired you here! That's awesome and really good to hear! :D . The reason that you might not have gotten any hearts or reposts earlier could be because your followers didn't notice your posts, just yet. Your post is STILL incredibly AMAZING, no matter how many hearts or reposts it has. It is so sad though that sometimes beautiful, inspirational, marvelous posts like these get lost in between, unintentionally, slipping our notice. It would be an honour to be tagged in your future posts because I'd love to see them, heart them and repost them so that more people can be inspired by it too! You can tag anyone too, if you want at the end of your feed posts, as well, (any listener, any member, ABSOLUTELY anyone you want <3 ). This will create a notification for those who are tagged, so that they will notice your posts and spread it ;)
@skyisblue
Thank you skyisblue for your kind and beautiful words. I'm still trying to figure out how it all works. Do u have to tag people or have followers for people to notice your feed posts? I will def tag you in the future. You are wonderful, thanks!
@Sydney33 Yep, generally, that's the case. Unless somebody randomly checks out your profile. For your followers, they notice because the feed posts that you make appear in their feed, automatically, along with feed posts from others they are following. For tagged individuals (listeners/members) we get a notification that directs us to the post :D . Now you know, awesome! :D
@skyisblue
Ah ok, it is all becoming clearer! Thanks for the help! One more thing tho...I can't figure out how to follow someone's feed. There is no obvious "follow their feed" option.
@Sydney33 Once you go to somebody's profile, you should see a "chat now" button or a "leave a message" button (for listeners) or just a "follow" button ( for members' profiles) . When you click follow, this means that whatever feed posts they post will now appear in your feed ;) That's all there is to "following" somebody :D
@skyisblue
thank you!! : D
@skyisblue
Omg, one day I will figure this all of this out! Thanks for your patience and I def appreciate your help!!! I tried to go to your profile and another profile and saw none of the buttons you said I should see.
@Sydney33 Oh, woah, that's weird! Are you on the app? Or the browser version?
@skyisblue
the app
@Sydney33 Okay, that makes sense then! These buttons that I see are on the browser version. I can't seem to figure out how to follow somebody on the app either. I can't figure out where that option to follow is. All I can see is the number of followers and number following, on the app. So you're not the only one who doesn't get this . Hopefully somebody more well versed with the app, can answer this question. You could post your question, in a new thread, in the questions or feedback section over here , maybe? That way more people might benefit from the answer as well, rather than in this crowded thread xD.
@skyisblue
Good to know! Thank u again for your help : )
Hi! I've noticed a lot of amazing people posing some awesome questions in this thread! I was just wondering if it might be a better idea if these questions were submitted to the NEW and UPDATED (exciting right ) Q & A section which is what this forum thread (in the original post) is trying to publicize and inform everyone about! You can read more about it and then decide if you want to submit your question, and if you do, just follow the steps outlined in the first post. If that idea doesn't appeal much to you, you can maybe consider submitting your question over here - a section of the forums dedicated to YOUR questions :D Or in one of the support sub sections of the forums even! I think the Q and A section would be ideal though because many listeners can offer their thoughts and answers, which you might find helpful. These answers are also assessed before they are approved.
There's nothing really wrong with posting your questions here, it's just that it would be sad for these questions to go unanswered.
How do I help my boyfriend with depression who has broke up with me because he feels like he is dragging me down and will only hurt me?
How do I help and support my boyfriend who has depression and has broke up with me because of this? He feels worthless and that he is dragging me down. He wants space and for me to move on but I can't.
@Rowedawg
Hello there, lovely, thank you for reaching out in the forums. I'm so sorry to hear about the situation with your boyfriend, it is so incredibly hard to support a loved one through depression, and it takes a lot out of us, so I'm really proud of you for reaching out to get some help for you.
These questions have already been asked in the Q&A, they might be a good read for you:
I'm dating someone with depression and anxiety. What to do?
What do I do when my husband is depressed?
Why do depressed people push loved ones away?
You can find out how to submit your question on the first page of this thread :) In addition, all listeners here are here to support you, if you want to go 1 on 1 <3 I hope this helps, and I hope things get better for you two soon.
All my love,
Lyra
@Lyra thank you so much xx
Any advice for High School??New here!
I have been in a relationship for almost 2 years now. In the beginning he treated me like his everything. He got jealous. I thought it was sweet. Then he started to get REALLY jealous. We worked together. Every time he would see someone talk to me he would freak out and follow me around work asking me about it threatening to beat guys up. I would convince him that I loved him and we would be fine.
Then things got more serious. He was a Virgin when we met and I wasnt. I've been in two other serious relationships. We had sex. He never complained about my past until we moved in together a year ago.
After we moved in together things changed. I noticed his temper. He gets really mad about small things. His shirts "Never fit right". People pull into a parking space as soon as he is about to get out of the car. The Internet never works when he is trying to play a game. He throws things and when I ask him to stop he starts yelling at me. "You're a slut. Go fuck some more black guys you fucking slut." (I'm half black and my ex is black) all of a sudden he is a racist!
There's so much more but I'm running out of characters. Please someone help me I need to tell SOMEONE about what I have been dealing with.. I am all alone and I just need someone to listen
I clicked the wrong subscription when signing up. How do I switch from yearly to monthly.
