Looking for friends
Hi everyone. I struggle with depression and social anxiety and am just looking for people like me to talk to and get advice from. Would love for anyone to reach out!
@Justlove310 hi welcome to cups ❤ I hope you get all the support you need and deserve here ❤❤ gives you a giant tiny hug ❤
@Justlove310 Hi, I'm also struggling with social anxiety and I will like to talk😊
@Sweet2Ash So glad you reached out. I am new to this. Is there a way to chat to each other or do we just have to talk on this thread? Still trying to figure it out. :)
do you use ***?
@magnificentForest17 I may be slow but do I use what, exactly??
@Justlove310
7Cups seems to like censoring weird things like FACE BOOK. Weird. lol!
I'm here, we can chat anytime.
@Candice777 Thank you so much! I just really need some people to talk to.
@Justlove310
hiiii welcome to cups!! we can totally chat if you need someone:) i hope you have a great time and find people you connect with and support you here!
have an amazing day
@steph8402 Thank you! Can we chat each other or do we just talk through this thread? I'm new to this so I am trying to figure it out.
@Justlove310
yes we can just chat in here(: or if you want we can make a separate forum page for just us two so it’s not lost in a sea of other forums
@steph8402 Ok! Here is fine. I'm just struggling as a single mom trying to find my own path outside of my kid. With my social anxiety it makes it hard to make friends. It's like I want to have those connections so badly but I don't know how to make it happen.
@Justlove310
ah yeah it must be hard! but that is amazing you are a single mom. my mom is a single mom and i cannot tell you how proud and amazed i am by all the single mom's. you guys do so so much for your kids and it's amazing!! im very proud every time i know one(:
social life is hard especially as a parent, so i've heard but i'm glad that this can help be a source of friendship and support for you(:
@steph8402 Thank you so much for that encouragement!
@Justlove310 of course!! there is also chat rooms that you can enter in where it’s a lot of people talking about things if you are ever interested in that. and if you want more 1-on-1 connection there are listeners who are just members who decided to help out and listen to other fellow members, and they help support and encourage you too(: just some lovely thing cups has to offer for you(:
@Justlove310 HIII i would absolutely love to be friends, and would love to be an advice giver (not to boast or anything but i give killer advice) and even though im extroverted i usually make friends with the kids with sever social anxiety lol. who knows we could be a friend match lol. tell me a bit about yourself!
@EmmyMarie06 Thanks so much for reaching out! I just really need some people to talk to. I'm a single mom and taking care of my kid has been my only focus for a while. I need to find a way to enjoy life again, with friends!
@Justlove310 i totally understand. being a single mom is hard, especially when your being responsible and making them your entire focus. find time for yourself. you cant be, all you can be, without a little rest and some self reimbursement LOL
@EmmyMarie06 You're right about that! I just have a hard time getting out there and doing things. My social anxiety gets the best of me.
@Justlove310 i understand. sometimes putting yourself out there can be scary. but be sure your social anxiety isnt also affecting your kids. (not saying it is, just be aware of it)
sometimes the most scary things, are the things that we need to do :D find someone you fit well with and become friends! go and have a ladies night out! you got this!
@EmmyMarie06 Thank you! I am trying so hard to overcome my anxiety.
hey, as long as your trying, your doing great!!!!!
@Justlove310 well how are you today?
hihi @Justlove310 welcome to 7 cups ! :>🤍 I’d love to be your friend🤍 how’re you today ?/nfta
Hi
@Justlove310
Hi there :) , I understand the situation and pain.. : (
I'm here for u as much as i can🙂
Hi I Stephanie I'm trans 38 and love talking.i suffer with anxiety and depression also and I would give you advice if I can.i know people can be funny talking with a trans girl but I lived as male for 30 years and got in to boxing when I was 15 to try prove to me I am masculine and I was surrounded by real men so have knowledge speaking to males and also speaking to females because I now live as female.what I have been through helps to understand different problems I can talk about.i wanted to tell you about me to hopefully not put off with trans people.i done drugs for years over my gender confused head and when I finally gave up I got diagnosed with depression and anxiety.i think I was always a sufferer but didn't know.i am really interested in people who I talk with and we will have good old talk if you want speak soon hopefully
