@Heather225 Hey! I’m Liliam , a 15 years old listener from Algeria. I first joined 7cups back in 2022, and I’m here to offer a supportive space for anyone who needs to be heard. I know how much it helps to have someone to talk to when things feel overwhelming, and I want to be that person for others. Whether you need advice, a listening ear, or just someone who won’t judge, I’m here to connect and help make things feel a little less heavy. 🌙✨
@fleurciet Hello!! 💛(heart)
@AmyGrace55555 Heyy 💛, thanks for the warm welcome!

@Heather225
Harro everyone~! OwO I started using 7 cups of tea back in 2019-2020 I think? So around 5-6 years ago...? but I stopped being active for some time cause life got a lot hetic than I expected.
I found myself coming back here, for some reason I just felt I never felt judged here and I don't want to stress my friends even more venting my own struggles and issues, and I don't want to seek external validation or be reassured a lot from my friends because I know it can be tiring if it's constantly.
I find myself always thinking of this place when things get really bad in my life and I kinda have no where to go to where I would feel heard, so decided to come back and wow, a lot of things has changed compared to 5 years ago, especially the UI of this site xD
For the most part I hope I can feel heard and feel safe without being judged, but I also want to continue improving myself as an individual.
Goals for being part of the community hmmm I guess in a way like a journal entry thing? but with also with people who know where you come from and empathize with you, but also give advice when needed, so like a journal entry but penpal feature into it kinda..? and if I relate to them too I will also relate to others as well without projecting too much, and rather hear their side of the story? idk if that's making any sense LOL
@rinniechan Heyyy, happy to have you back! Welcome back to 7cups!
Welcome
I hope to gain more experience and offer my heart and soul through care and a kind ear to those that need it. I aspire to be a clinical psychologist one day. I hope that the opportunity to be a listener will align with that journey and encourage me towards that goal.

Welcome to 7 Cups, Hope! You bring such a thoughtful energy, and your background in psychology will add a lot of depth to the support you offer. It’s awesome that you’re here not just to help others, but to keep growing yourself and building meaningful connections within the community.

Welcome
Hello I'm Dandelion. I joined yesterday (or the day before?) I came here wanting to find a way to help people, and especially to learn about active listening so I can better support the people in my life, as well as those I don't know yet. I love reading and track and field. I'm excited to be here :)
@dandelion136
Hi Dandelion! It's lovely to meet you, welcome! Whether it was yesterday or the day before, it's awesome that you're already jumping in with such a thoughtful mindset. Wanting to help people and focusing on active listening is a skill that makes such a difference, both in close relationships and when you're just being that safe space for someone who needs it. You’re in a great place to grow that. What kind of books do you gravitate toward, and do you do a specific event in track and field, or just enjoy it all?
Really excited you’re here too.
@Jenna
Thank you for the warm welcome 😊 I read mostly YA, and any genres except horror and thrillers, but my favourite is definitely fantasy. As for track, I like long jump best, but short distance running is also really fun.

@Heather225 Hi! I'm Markus and I'm new here...I'm naturally talkative and am finishing my MSc in psychology now...I love working with people and hope to be a good listener for anyone who might need it. I have overcome some mental difficulties of my own, so I hope I feel I am especially sensitive to some people's issues!
@Oracle1973
Hey Markus, welcome! It's awesome to meet someone who’s not only passionate about psychology but also brings that mix of empathy and personal experience. Sounds like you’ll be a natural at connecting with people. How’s the final stretch of your MSc going?
@Jenna it's going well. I am just preparing to write my thesis on OCD, maybe waswasa. I also have my own youtube channel, ***, ***...just started them last week.

Hello everyone, I'm SincerelyAlexis and I hope to be a part of the community creating a positive life support. 💛@Heather225
@SincerelyAlexis
Hey Alexis, welcome! It sounds like you’ve got a really genuine heart. I like your intention of “creating a positive life support”.
@Jenna "life support" sounds a bit lugubrious...hhhh (just kidding)
Welcome
Hello everyone, I am Joyce. I am very excited to be apart of the community and to help people that are in need.
@Joyce25
Hi Joyce! Welcome to the community. It’s great to have you here! Your excitement and willingness to help others is exactly the kind of energy that makes a place like this thrive. What kind of things are you most passionate about helping with?
@Jenna Hello, honestly it's just being a support system for someone that may not have that in place. I think everyone needs one and I am happy that with 7 cups I am able to be that for some.
Welcome
Hello everyone.
its nice to meet you, I came to 7 cups first as a member and then became a listener in order to help others out there who need someone to talk to. I hope to improve and help more people out there.
@incredibleGrace3758
Hey there! Welcome to the listener side of Cups. It’s awesome that you started as a member and decided to give back by becoming a listener. If you’re ever looking to connect with other listeners, we have a listener support room just for us, or even just talk through ways to grow your listening skills, I’d be more than happy to chat.
