Seeking Long-Term Listener Who Can Straighten Me Up
General Support / by OptimisticBirch

...See more Hi, I am desperate. I want to know if it's possible for some listener to want to be my long term listener. I am in dire need of someone that can help me think through things logically and maybe beat up some sense to my head since I am such a drama queen at several points in my life. Really I think that if I didn't do this, it'll be hard for me to make my life better. To be honest, I will be expecting a listener that can be a mentor in life to discuss and also analyze things that I do badly. I didn't really need an everyday conversation honestly. Once in a week or maybe once in every two weeks is enough for me. And I need to warn you, I am trouble and I have so much baggage that I wish I could just throw up to the sea or just burn it so I can see it's ashes flying to the sky (lol) If you wish to help me, I will be very grateful :)

...See more I just notice recently fter/when I talk to some listener, the chats seems to disappear and I can't no longer chat with the particular person. I wonder if it's just me or is it my fault that I cannot chat with a particular listener? Thanks

...See more Hi, I want some insight in name introduction in 7cups personal chat :) I'm both a listener and a member on this sites for over 2 years by now and has been tremendously helped by all people here be it when becoming a listener and a member and honestly 7cups has give me a journey worth to remember. My journey here has been pleasant with only one or two inconvenience so far. Recently though, as a listener and member. I encounter listener or member asking about your personal contact or your real name. Although it's established already in a protocol of not sharing your contact details. I was wondering if that also includes not sharing your real name if it bothers you? Because I like 7cups the most since it can perfectly hide my identity and I feel very uncomfortable when I was in terrible state and just want to chat but instead I was asked to introduce myself. After I tell the reason why I am here (lenghty reasons), it's usually followed up with "How are you?" instead of "What's your name?". And it's making me very uncomfortable. Although I know this might be a custom for some people. What do you guys think?

...See more Hi, I guess. I just feel the need to join this community and I guess to make myself belong somewhere. I have not gone to the doctor yet to confirm my suspicion if I'm depressed or not. But I take a lot of tests and read a lot of article about depression though. And I kinda think that the description fits me. I'm not sure if I'm depressed or not. People might say that it's just because I'm sad because I have just deal with a break up but I don't know if it's just a sad thing, because you see. I've been through several heart break before and the aftermath is not this big. I don't suddenly break down crying when I'm driving or lose apetite in eating or just losing sense of why I should live. Though it's not like it happens everyday, I just feel so scared when I am alone and have no one to talk to. I hope I will find some support here? Ah, and thank you for letting me join this community..

...See more I really need advice on this T-T Starting from several months ago(not as often as now though) I've been unable to distinguish several episodes in my life. I didn't recognised it myself until I brought it up with a friend of mine. At first it's only an insignificant episodes like chat experience with my friend that actually didn't take place. But recently it kinda escalated to conversations I have with numerous people and truthfully it's quite scary for me T-T It make me confused which of the event actually take place T-T I would love to actually confirm several episodes but the thing is some of those episodes can't really be confirmed, like discussion with the boss. I do really have the conversation in real world but the content of discussion seems to be mixed up with the one I have in my dream T-T Anyone ever experience this and know how to deal with it?
