Listeners becoming dependent on members
Hi,
I'm just wondering if there is a support chat for members who need advice on listener behavior? I had been going through a hard time and I got chatting to a listener who seems to have become dependent on me. They will message me multiple times everyday and get anxious if I don't reply. I am not in a position to support them as I am dealing with my own issues, but I don't want to abandon the listener either.
Thanks,
Willow
@helloWillow7636 There really isn't much support for dealing with that other than to report, because a listener should be in their listener role. If a listener needs personal support, they should really be on a member account. You can tell them this if you wish, or just block and report. You shouldn't be getting pressured when you're correctly using a member account when needing support!

I am sorry this has happened - that is not correct listener behaviour at all and they should really use their own account to get support. You can block the listener so they will not continue contacting you but I ask that you leave a review/report their behaviour so 7 Cups can discuss this with them and hopefully prevent it from happening to someone else.
You can get in touch with another listener about what's happened and to get some support.
