Bio
Hello! I'm Jacob (but you can call me Jake.) I'm glad you have found me on 7 Cups of Tea. I am a trained active listener and I love to support people struggling with anxiety, panic, depression, grief/loss, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and loneliness.
I, myself, have struggled with Major Depressive Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Avoidant Personality Disorder, and PTSD from abuse and loss. I also have a lot of experience dealing with sociopaths, narcissists, and am familiar with many abuse tactics.
I am a passionate nerd with an interest in philosophy, science, logic and reason, human nature and emotion, consciousness, epistemology, the paranormal, conspiracies, mysteries and unexplained phenomena, sexuality, films (horror, drama, and documentaries), and music.
I value empathy, altruism, loyalty, honesty, and self-awareness.
If these patriculars matter to you, I am non-binary and gender nonconforming (I am not the most qualified to address LGBTQ+ issues; I'd be happy to listen, though); I can fluctuate between INFJ and INTP on the Myers-Brigg scale; I am an anti-theist and secular humanist.
". . .the discussion about what is good, what is beautiful, what is noble, what is pure, and what is true could always go on. Why is that important? Why would I like to do that? Because that’s the only conversation worth having."
