I'm a little nervous to be a Listener but I am so ready at the same time! I'm wondering how long i should wait for someone to reply because I dont want to wait for half an hour if they end up going to sleep. I know I've done that before and sometimes the person is still waiting its crazy

@pineapple7722too It's completely okay to feel a bit nervous at the beginning, but your eagerness to help shines through, and that's wonderful!

In terms of response times, I think waiting around 10 minutes is a reasonable timeframe. If there's no response, sending a friendly message to check in and possibly suggesting a reconnect at another time is a considerate approach. You're already displaying a thoughtful and caring attitude. Trust yourself, and you'll do great as a listener!
