New person here...
I'm new, and I don't really know what to do, because even though I've been looking for a place like this, to really talk, now that I've found one, I feel stuck. What am I allowed to say? What can I not say? Am I allowed to just ask for advice? Or talk about all these emotions I don't know how to say to someone face-to-face?
Hello @VayRainbow, welcome to the community.
It is okay to feel stuck about where to begin and how to go about things, starting out something new definitely does that to us. Glad you're reaching out for support.
Typically, you can talk to listeners in 1-1 about whatever you like (you may see their bio for the topics they support, or if they have any topics that they don't support, as many do mention what they may be comfortable with and aren't etc.)
You can browse for listeners here using filters also, https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/.
Advice isn't allowed in 7 cups, and a listener must refrain from sharing any. However, if you are seeking, y'all can brainstorm any possible alternatives, discuss pros and cons regarding any X thing, and they can help you more in exploring how you feel, your thoughts etc.
This is an emotional support platform, so yes ofcourse, you can expect a safe, comfortable, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings, open up about anything bothering you, vent emotionally etc.
Besides 1-1 listening, there's the community forums on various topics, the group chatrooms if you prefer support in a group setting, topic focused growth paths, to name a few, that you can explore along the way!

I hope you find the support and company you're looking for!❤
