Anyone for real deep contact?
I know it's totally useless writing this in here. I know I won't find it.
I'm not looking for cheers, sympathy or these things.
I'm just seeking someone interested in form a friendship. For real. Not those colorful fake ones.
I just wanted comprehension.
@Fehpa94 Hey i can be your friend if you want to ^^
@Fehpa94 For sure!
@Fehpa94
I am here friend
@Fehpa94
I am here:)
@Fehpa94 Unfortunately I agree. It's probably useless asking here. 7 Cups is intended for emotional support, not for real friendship.
As you are an adult member, 7 Cups only allows you to chat in private to adult listeners. Those teens and members who have replied cannot even chat to you.
Also, even if you do form a relationship with an adult listener here, 7 Cups does not allow you to make contact in any other way. You are not allowed to communicate outside 7 Cups.
Having said all that, sometimes deep and lasting relationships do occur here despite the restrictions. You could use the Browse Listeners page to search for a listener whose profile and reviews you like the look of, and then you could leave a message and see what happens.
If you'd like to chat to me, feel free to click on my profile picture and message me.

Hi there, as I guess you'll see I'm a newbie here and I just wanted to say, THANKS for explaining that and helping to set proper expectations, because I was thinking the same thing, how Is have liked to respond to that person's request for REAL friendship, but I thought, this is anonymous, I am not supposed to give my actual name or contact info, correct? So the benefit of this is to be able to vent anonymously and that's pretty much it, yes? Thanks so much for your candidness!! :)

Hi, I'm also relatively new here, but from what I've experienced in the past few weeks, you're very correct - we're all expected to be anonymous on this site (except for our user name of course, and some people do use their photo as their picture) and the benefit is that members can rant or seek emotional support without worrying that someone they know in real life would recognise them.

Thanks so much for your time taken and honest helpful responses....to everyone here that's looking for friendships...I'm 43, I love dogs (as says my name), I placed a baby for adoption when I was 25 (so he's 18 now) and I lived to tell about it, I battle drug addiction and suffer PTSD, anxiety, and depression, hence the self medication! I'm in a common-law relationship, of 10 years off and on (hard to believe it's been that long even saying it lol) and he's the first and only one to truly love me for me and not abuse me, physically, sexually and emotionally....I've come a long way, but I'm still a HUGE work in progress!
Any one of you who doesn't think I sound too boring and wants to ask me anything or share anything about their lives can feel free! I check replies to posts often and I enjoy being there to listen and help those who want it need to be listened to, although I'm still a newbie and not ready to be a listener yet....I'm here! You can reply right in this post and we can be friends as much as this allows! (Better than nothing, no?)
Nice meeting you all and I look forward to getting to know y'all better! I'm an open book, any experience I can share that will help another person with their own battles is here for the taking! I'm not perfect, or even that wise (ha!) But I've been through alot and have tried to learn from it so I'm willing to help others (and/or myself) do the same! Unsolicited advice welcome!😃
Peace and good bless!

Still learning the rules/ community courtesy of this app so I apologize if cross talk is frowned upon -- this post resognated with me as I am an adoptee (from birth) my biological mom was approx 25 as well. I too have PTSD, and struggle deeply with the complex emotions and loss around adoption. I've found it hard to connect with anyone my entire life who understands this pain as though something is missing from my soul. You are not alone. I would love to connect further with you on this.
@Fehpa94 I too want a real honest friendship. I'm here for you.
@Fehpa94 I can't promise you anything, sometimes people are just too different or can't find the connection due to other reasons, but I really would like to try to become friends!!
@Fehpa94
Hi Fernada. I signed up on this platforom seeking the same help as you... To have a deep connection with few people whose wavelength match with mine. I don't know how to message you personally since all these technicalities are a bit overwhelming for me. Hope you'll reply me back. Hope we become good friends.
@Debs12345
Unfortunately, as RarelyCharlie explained up-thread, it is not possible for members to message one another directly. The closest you can come to that is in in Sharing Circle or other chat forums that are found on the left side of your screen in the My Progress page.
@InquireWithin
* Er, sorry, the My Path drop down menu. Wish we could edit our own posts!
I appreciate all the comments and the discussion you all brought here.
I was only able to see that now.
Thank you for the support, guys. I hope you all can have the support you need.
But, even if not, don't give up your hope in yourselves, in the good things, in the best parts of you.
We all have something to bring up in this life.
