Hello, I'm glad to be here. I signed up to be a listener because I know what it's like to either have no one there when you need to talk about your problems, or no one actually listens to your problems, and how lonely and hard it can be, and sometimes it's easier or better talking to someone you don't know, or who doesn't know you, especially when it comes to situations we ourselves find embarrassing. Growing up my friends always came to me if they needed someone to listen or wanted advice, I always got told that I was a great listener and that I had a lot of wisdom because when it came to advice I looked at the whole picture and not just one tid bit of it, and I more help them guide themselves to the answers they needed, but was there to offer a friendly ear, and to help lift them up when life got them down. I've always enjoyed listening to and helping my friends, family, and random people I come across while out running errands that you can just see on their face or in their eyes they need someone to talk to, someone to listen to them, and to be heard, to get some of the pain and burden they are carrying out and off their chest. And the thing I love the most is watching that weight they've been carrying for so long lift off their shoulders, and their eyes go from sad and dull to having joy, relief and a sparkle in them, where they no more are being dragged down by the burdens and are free from the gloomy shadow that had been attached to them for so long, dragging them down, holding them back, or holding everything in and barely able to contain it any more. Seeing how much better they feel, how they come to life, and joy back in their eyes is so amazing to see, and melts my heart each and every time. So for everyone out there, You're not alone, you're not invisible, we see you, we hear you, You Matter, You are Important, and when you're hear you will always be heard, let's take some of the burden, and the weight off your shoulders, and release some of that tension that has been weighing you down. Me and the other listeners are hear to listen. talking about things can be hard, especially difficult times in life, but let me say this, By coming here, you've already made the hardest and the biggest step, everything from this point forward will be easy compared to the strength, bravery, and courage it took to come here, even if you don't talk the first time or 100 times you visit you still came, which shows strength, bravery and courage, and also means one more tiny step to go to reach your goal of needing support, someone to talk to , you've got this, I am in your corner, we will walk this path together, and if you're too shy to reach out and talk talk just send me a message that says hi, i'm here but i'm not quite sure i'm ready. I'll say hello and to take your time, breathe, lets start this journey together, when your ready. I'll be here no matter how long it takes.

Thank you for sharing this—it truly touched my heart. Your compassion, patience, and the way you genuinely see people shine through every word. The world needs more souls like you who listen with their whole heart and create safe spaces for others to breathe, heal, and feel seen.
Anyone who crosses your path is incredibly lucky to have someone so kind, present, and understanding in their corner. Please know that the warmth and care you give out come back to you as well. Sending you gratitude, love, and a big soul-hug right back 🤍✨
Messaged you, sounds like you might make a very positive contribution to helping others.

welcome
Hello, I am hoping to help someone in anyway. I joined 7 cups as listener. I am natural.
Welcome to the community! Thank you so much for helping the world become a better place!
Hi, Im new here. I found this site by looking for someone I could be a listening ear to someone that feels alone, someone that feels like I do. Because no one should feel alone or ashamed because of an issue they are facing. I wanted a way to let at least 1 person know that they are enough.
Welcome
Hey, welcome! It's an incredibly noble initiative, thanks for joining! Welcome here and thank you for helping make the world a better place :)
@Butterflystrong hi and welcome to 7cups! i understand you wish to be a listening ear to other people. the good news is that you can become a listener here and help people as much as you like. a listener is a person who is like a peer councilor who improves the lives of members on 7cups when they are lonely and distressed. i hope you concider doing this. and welcome to 7cups, i hope you enjoy your time here!
Hi.
I'm here because I'm looking for a journaling community. I will start from there and maybe explore other options later.
It's been a few years now that I find it hard to deal with my anxiety. It seeps into a lot of my every day tasks and I thought I would try journaling and meditation as a way to deal with it.
Welcome! Hope you find what you're looking for in this beautiful community :)
Warmest welcome 😃 @Rocksandwater,
We are happy you are here. The 7 Cups community is here for you. May you find all that you seek.
Welcome
@StormCloudSilverLining
hi new listener in town🥰
@StormCloudSilverLining
welcome
Hi, recently joined after app recommended on phone.
Been struggling for the past 2 years in particular wit self confidence and social awkwardness but theres far more to it than that unfortunately 😣😣
Hoping to engage with as many as possible to try and overcome my awkwardness, will connect with bot and listeners more first and then maybe try therapy in the New Year. Knowing on a bit now and dreading retirement in a few years time 😕😕😕
Quick question is there a way to track posts that I've commented on, been quite active over Xmas period and yes itbha helped cope with the loneliness 👍👍👍
@Madcyclist19
Hi 😊 Welcome!
I’m really glad you found this place. What you shared makes a lot of sense, and it’s great that you’re taking small, thoughtful steps to connect — especially after a tough couple of years. I’m really glad this community helped you cope with the loneliness over Christmas 🙃
Taking things one step at a time, including listeners or therapy when you’re ready, sounds like a solid plan.
Be kind to yourself — and welcome again 🥰
@RunningMachine
Welcome! Hope you find what you're looking for and wish joy and happiness for you!
Feel free to reach out if you need to!
Thank you, been chatting with 'Noni' which has been helpful and arranged a chat with a listener for next Sunday. Not expecting quick results and appreciate it will take effort on my part 😜😜😜😜
Welcome to 7 cups ð¥³ð¥³ hope u have fun
@Heather225
Hi I'm a 15 year old girl, I enjoy things like basketball, marvel movies and hanging out with family. I came to this site because I struggle with Self Harm. It is something I've done before and I thought it was done after 8 months of not doing but about 2 weeks ago I started again and it's been rough I have not done it for 2 days now and am planning to keep it that way. I had a very unconformable conversation with my parents about it and they sent me to a family friend that counsels people, I also struggle with a little bit of a gray feeling where you wake up and it doesn't matter how pretty of a day it is you just feel gray and you stay that way no matter how hard you try. This site has already helped me some. The people I've talked to on this site have been amazing thank you guys and I love to talk anytime
@basketballkid23
