Decreased ratings after seeing abusive member

...See more Hello 7 Cups Community! Thank for you all that you guys are doing to keep the site up and running! So far it's been a pleasure to be a listener, and be a helping set of ears here. I've enjoyed being able to talk to most of the people who've decided to come here. However, I've also encountered some pretty nasty people. Each time they came and left, I suspect that they had been leaving negative ratings for me. There were two people were particularly abusive (like, they would come on and refuse to talk, and call me expletives as I tried to assure them that I'm there to help). Even though I can't really help my ratings (they are what they are), is there any way for my ratings to be reconsidered? I don't feel that I should be taking the brute end from people I'd report. Thanks, KnittedPenguin25
Re-discovering the therapist in me

...See more I've recently graduated from college. Throughout the entire time, I kind of fought with every thought that's ever come to me. I initially wanted to go to school to become a psychotherapist. Yet, I'm also a debater at heart -- so, I came up with a lot of excuses not to become what I initially wanted. I thought that I couldn't empathize with people; facts were superior, and I can debate about that too. I realize that I'm not as stone-cold, and facts driven as I initially I would be. I kind of regret being so hesitant about trying new things, and exploring my options through actions rather than thoughtful decision making. But, I suppose now comes the opportunity to try and act, instead of argue (no matter how counterintuitive that is to me). So, with open ears, and eyes (as we do here), it's okay to open up and allow others to come in, whether they come with facts or not.
