Hesitations
Hi there, you beautiful people!
How are you guys doing?
I've been here for a long time, and whenever I'm feeling low, and I wanna talk to someone, I find myself thinking about how to initiate a conversation/break the ice, that's what stops me from reaching out to someone to share how I'm feeling.
What about you guys, do you hesitate to reach out to a listener? If yes, why?
How can we help?

Thanks for bringing up this topic. Reaching out for support can be challenging for many people!
I usually try to deal with my problems on my own but when I realize it does not work, I will reach out to someone here for support.
It's a good thing to realize that, I'm glad you're able to ask for help, many can't. Cheers!

Hi! I think the best thing to keep in mind is that listeners want to help you and are here to talk about your problems. Honestly, I joined this app as a listener because I feel better when I'm supporting people through their issues. So just keep that in mind that listeners really are here to help, and please don't hesitate to reach out!
Hey! I do understand that, and I am all for supporting people, but when I try to reach out, I just choose to deal with them on my own, and I've been here as a long for a long time as well, so I do understand how important it is to talk.

pretty good except for the extremem toothache
Hey! Hope you're feeling better. Or tell your tooth how beautiful it is, and how much you'd love for the tooth to love you back, it'll vanish! Haha.
I haven’t reached out to a listener. Frankly I’m not sure they would have the skills to help me.
It’s okay though. I have therapy and other supports.
Hi! It's good to know that something helps you and you have the support. And even if they can't help you solve the problems, the point is to he able to see the problem for what it is, and there are good listeners here who have had experiences with life.
But it's really good that you are getting help and support from other ways.
Cheers!
@MysteriouslyFound1893 nice to meet you. The biggest thing that would make me not reach out is inferiority and vulnerability 😊
@MysteriouslyFound1893 doing better as people like you exist to ask how I am .
