Hi everyone , just became a listener yesterday. Hoping to improve my listening and observational skills, and being there for those in need.
@colorfulSalamander6047
That's wonderful! Becoming a listener is a great way to make a difference. How has it been for you so far?
So far it's been wonderful. I've had a chat with few people now and I'm slowing learning how to respond better.
@colorfulSalamander6047
Sounds like you're making wonderful progress in your listening skills and finding ways to support others. The more you engage, the more you'll develop your own approach. Is there anything specific you've learned so far that’s helping you feel more comfortable or confident in those conversations?
@colorfulSalamander6047 Hi, Salamander! Welcome to 7 Cups!

Hello everyone I am 38 old male and I struggle with diagnosed shizofrenia and a lot of other stuff like anxieties. I have social problems, for months i rarely get out of house, now rying to change that 🙂
@Luluxviii
Hello! Thank you for sharing this part of you. Schizophrenia, coupled with anxiety and social struggles, can be incredibly challenging, but it’s inspiring that you’re looking to make positive changes in your life. Welcome to 7 cups!
@Jenna
Yeah the social struggles includes forums too😅 but I'm glad I joined Cups. Thanks for support.

Hello all!
I am Ellaina and I am here because I have a passion for helping people. I am an active listener with a lot of empathy to give! I look forward to all of the one on one conversations with others.

welcome to cups.
if you ever have a listener the listener support room is a good room for that.
Hi everyone!
I’m wannaPeace68. I actually joined 7 cups 6 or 7 years ago when I had my struggles back then. I’ve returned again to this space as I am now coping with new struggles. At the sams time I guess becoming an active listener helps me too. It makes me feel better knowing that I could make someone’s day!
@wannaPeace68
It's great to hear how helping others as a listener brings you fulfillment during your own journey. Welcome back!
@wannaPeace68 Welcome back! We are glad you're here :)

Hey everyone! I'm Asher (or Ren!) and I'm Korean 😋 I enjoy playing rhythm games and love Maretu and AJR. I'm on here to try and ease or manage my anxiety and depression better, and I wish good luck for anyone else here to try and heal! 🫶
@asherhereofc Hi Ren what games do you enjoy?
@Heather225
welcome all

Hi everyone! I am still new here and learning the best ways to listen and to support people. I was interested in psychology ever since I was younger and am perusing it as my major. However, I struggle with finding the right words in real time, I am trying my very hardest to practice these skills for when I need them! 🤗
@coffees Hi there! Welcome to the community!😊 It's wonderful to hear about your passion for psychology and your commitment to learning and growing as a listener. It's completely normal to feel like finding the right words in real time is a challenge—many of us have been there! What matters most is your willingness to practice and your genuine desire to support others, which already shows that you're on the right track.
@coffees Hey, Coffees! I am also a psych undergrad:) I felt the same way when I first started taking chats. Active listening skills get better and better the more chats you take. I promise it will get easier:)

hi I’ve been on here since 2018 the year my grandfather died I am a dog mom I volunteer at a senior center I am a listener on here, but haven’t been up to the task lately I never want people to feel how I have felt
@GoodTrouble19 Hi there! Thank you for sharing a bit about your journey. It’s clear how much you care about others, and it’s amazing that you volunteer and listen to support those around you. It’s okay to take a step back when you need to; you can’t pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself, and know that your kindness and empathy make a real difference!
@GoodTrouble19
