I want somebody to sit down with me and listen to my problems. Not just anybody but someone who actually wants to. I don't know what to do?

You find a friend, near you in a similar circumstance. If you are a young female in her first job, look for another young female in her first job. If you are a middle age man with a wife and kids, look for another middle age man with a wife and kids. Spend time together, either going out to a bar/restaurant/coffee shop to chat and meet people if you are single. Or have lunch together once a week, or after work drinks, if you are a married guys. Talk about the issues you are going through, and they should be similar for your friend. You can listen to each other and console each other or swap advice.

I think that you've found the right place to start. This platform has always been here for me whenever I have gone through something, but it is obviously not real-life. You should try to find a therapist that is close to you. Most people are scared to ask help from a therapist because they feel that their problems aren't big enough, or that there is someone else who is struggling more than they are. Truth is, most people need a therapist, just so they can cope with the events that they are going through. So until you have found a real-life therapist who can help you, 7cups is always here if you need someone to talk to.

It's natural to feel so. We all want someone who can listen to us and talk to us. It's natural human necessity. Don't judge yourself for feeling so. Wanting to talk with someone who feels comfortable is as important. Talking with right person matters. That's why it's necessary to make friends. But not just friends and family listen, listeners at 7 cups too. You just have to take the effort to reach out and talk. By trying you will find the right listener for you and it will help. Don't close yourself. Reach out. Seek company and find the right one. best of luck
