Hey there, New Here
Hi there, new to 7 Cups. Seems like a good place so far. I mainly joined due to loneliness and living in a foreign country where its hard to connect to new people.
I hope to be able to talk to all sorts of people and make new connections!
So glad you're reaching out for compassion and company, welcome to the community. @diplomaticLake2047 ❤
Thank you very much for the warm welcome! It means a lot 😁
@diplomaticLake2047
Hi! I also struggle with loneliness a lot, and 7cups can really help with that. Welcome! - Emily
@flowersandbees16 Hi! Good to hear this place can help :) do you recommend any group in particular?
@diplomaticLake2047
Ahh..same here, came to a knew country. I am kind of bad at making friends and all my existing friends are at different time zones. The loneliness I feel at night is horrible.
@billybutcher1229 Yeah, at night it can be pretty bad for me as well so I understand. Do you have any tips that help you when you feel like that?
I normally try to go for walk but it depends on your locality and if it’s safe to do so. And honestly even I looking for some ways to deal with it
@billybutcher1229 walk do help yeah. I might just have to go out for more walks. Listening to Podcasts, especially comedy ones help me feel better as well. If you find the podcasts you like, it can make you feel better in my experience.
Ahh…that sounds like a good solution. But at the moment most of the podcasts I listen to are true crime, it just ends up making me feel worse
yeah that not be the best type to listen to. Try to branch out and listen to some new ones based on stuff you like?
I joined for similar reasons. Constant travel, loneliness, real connection when traveling. Admittedly first world self created mental only challenges so there’s also guilt with feeling this way when I do.
This quote really has helped me stay out of victimhood negativity bias. I hope it might help you:
I'm turning to this quote frequently ;) As I try keep my head out of victimhood and negativity bias ;) - "To best cope with uncertainty, we can drop our fixation on the problem, and focus on the outcomes we desire. We can trade the false power of victimhood for the real power that comes from creating what we want."
(paraphrased from this article, https://bit.ly/3csQt3z)
@SwanningAround Thanks for the quote! Maybe it will help me out as well. I understand about feeling a bit of guilt about feeling this way since lots of people have it much worse than what I do.
Hey I'm new here too. Downloaded this app a few weeks back. Haven't had the courage to use it until now. Don't really know what I'm doing with it, but welcome to the club I guess 🙂
@MissMaverick95 haha thanks a lot :) I am not sure how to use this place either but we won't figure it out until we try right?
@diplomaticLake2047 hi :) I'm new too...I'm glad you reached out :) this site is very welcoming :)
@Bubbleducky Hi there! thanks for sending a message :) Lets hope we can use this site well together :)
@diplomaticLake204
hello, I am new here too. I understand you joined here due to loneliness.
Are you a quite person? Try to talk to people wherever you go and make a conversation.
I am new here too. I have plenty of friends but not happy in married life. I was betrayed too many times. I can’t even talk about my pain even with my friends. I cry when I am on my own. Pretend to be happy for my daughters
I need to talk with someone new and relief my tension.
hello! welcome to 7 Cups! we are glad to have you!
@diplomaticLake2047 Welcome and I know how you feel, I really didn't want to join initially but been trying to use hotlines to help me out because I'm hurting due to being a victim of a cyber bully that is basically trying to act like she's done nothing wrong when she has.
I completely get feeling lonely since I feel that way 24/7 and so many people just don't get that or don't care how it feels yet they are perfectly fine with understanding feelings from others that aren't that way or aren't disabled.
