Online Volunteer Opportunities: Why should I be a 7Cups listener?

Being a listener is truly an amazing experience. If you're someone who's a good listener, likes to try and help other people, and just want to talk in general, it's a great thing. Once you're a listener you start to learn new social skills such as how to talk to people about very specific situations, how other people look at situations, and you get to meet people that might be going through something that you once did. Personally for me I've learned tons on how to be better at listening, I've found ways to deal with my situations differently and better after talking to another person who had a similar situation, and best of all it's just an amazing community to be apart of.

I have experienced so much issues in my years living on this earth. I found 7c one night when I felt I was losing it. I connected with a few listeners and made several friends and since them 7c have been my family. I feel like i know how valuable a listener is and that I can pay forward what I received here as a member. That's why I became a listener, to help others the same way I was helped by my listeners and friends.

7 Cups of Tea is a wonderful site that allows you to provide anonymous support to whom ever you wish whenever you want. It gives you the potential to make a positive influence in someone's life, and create change.

I think if we will try tracing back evolution, we will find we all have the same roots. I mean we are all in this together! We all want to love and to be loved , accepted , and understood . And may be sometimes life doesn't work according to us at that time we may feel hopeless.. that's the time we can help each other. Personally i feel happy and satisfied after helping a person .

Im here because of my internship. Another reason that made me be here is because I love helping. I can totally understand when people want to talk and to be listened. Im glad I have found this site

You should be a 7 cups listener because you have the opportunity to help people in need and make a difference in how many people feel. You could actually make a positive impact on someone who has been burdened by sadness or depression for a long time and helping someone like this could help you too in a way. And it could help improve you as a person if you want to do more good.

Being a 7Cups listener is one of the most rewarding things I've ever done. You get to help people, and you're not only making them feel good, you feel good yourself.

It's an amazing experience, you get to meet and help new people, be a support for people who need it, better understand yourself and explore problems, make friends with other listeners, and do things that really make a difference; I will never regret my decision to join- best choice of my life.

I have found that Listening on 7cups has helped me in just about every aspect of my life. It made me realize what I want to do for a career, it cheers me up, and it helps other people! Why NOT be a 7cups listener?

You should become a listener because it's a great feeling knowing that you may have help someone cheer their day up or have helped them with a problem that they may have had

Being a 7cups listener helps teach you the difference between empathy and sympathy, helps you become even more compassionate, and helps you learn how to talk less and listen more. Additionally, you will find many people with varying degrees of different issues and backgrounds, and those people can help you feel not so alone in your own struggles, or even teach you something new you had known about or realized before. After being a listener, I have found myself using listening skills offline in casual conversations all the time, and it has improved my social skills significantly. I also listen to myself a little easier and am a little kinder in my internal dialogue. Great question!

Becoming a 7 Cups listener not only gives you the opportunity to help others in need, but also helps you to learn, grow and mature!

This is the most rewarding thing I have ever been apart of. You meet people form different situations and you are given the unique opportunity to help them. I am so happy I am apart of the 7 cups family.

If you have the experience that could possibly help someone, why not? You never know unless you do it.

Its a wonderful feeling when you help someone :) I became one because I knew a listener helped me, so at first I felt like I had to. Now I just love 7 Cups.

Being a 7Cups listener is a big responsibility, but it makes you feel special because you are helping people to deal with their unspoken problems. It gets hard from time to time, but seeing someone thanking you and dealing with their issues instead of hiding then is worth the time.

Being an active listener is an extremely fulfilling opportunity - it allows you to volunteer (which is always great if your work or an organization gives you brownie points for it) while talking to people and giving back a little bit of what has been given to you.

You should become a 7Cups listener because it's a great feeling to help others and know that they are happier . This site saves a lot of lives in my opinion.

Being a listener helps you to feel better about yourself when you are able to change the life of someone else, by just listening, or sharing a friendly caring word with someone, its also a learning process that helps you gain the knowledge you need in order to become a better listener and to be an all rounder to be able to deal with a variety of situations.

When volunteering to help others, we ourselves feel good because we know we're useful in some way. To make someone else's day is probably the best thing anyone could do!
