Hello, I'm Bali. I'm a 48-year-old single woman. I live abroad and due to COVID policies, I've beeen home all summer by myself. I'm a teacher. Well, I talk to people all the time. But yesterday, I got overwhelmed. When I get overwhelmed, I vent to friends. But I guess I can be intense. Yesterday, as I was venting to my friend, she shut me down and said, "you vent toomuch." We were supposed to have a phone call yesterday evening, but she cancelled. I feel very hurt by this and so, I'm trying to find another way to express my feelings without bothering the people in my lives. Thus, I joined this forum.
@BaliPaul relatable I want to not do this to others. This has been done to me too. Personally I realise people are afraid they will say the wrong thing so they dont listen or run away.
hello everyone! i'm ky and i found this website while looking for someone to talk to about my disordered eating. in real life i'm a little introverted but i open up once you get to know me! i enjoy talking to new people and broadening my perspective is one of my goals for this year, along with helping others who are in a similar position or just need a friendly person to listen. i'm glad to be a part of this site and hope i can help even a few people <3

Hey everyone
Hi everyone, very new to this and this is slightly stressful and making me anxious :)
Hello! I am Penny. I joined 7Cups a couple of hours ago and am still trying to get the hang of it. My first chat was terrifying, but I am more confident now... I suppose one can only get better with practice! I hope to learn and grow as a listener so that I can use these skills in real life too. Anyway, shouldn't there be an August 2020 thread now?
