Bio
hello! i'm rrretsuko ! at the moment, i'm working on freshening up my 7 cups account as i have been inactive for a while. please be patient with me as it will take me a while to adjust to being active on the site once more <3 i am a college student with a job, so i currently have a very busy schedule. for this reason, it will take me a while to get my listener account back on track.
i have a passion for helping others and i am comfortable with providing support for most topics <3. though i cannot say i've had experience with every subject, i like to try my best with listening to others who need someone to talk to. i love poetry, music, ecology, and traveling :)
my availability :
green - i am online and accepting chats !
orange - i am online but either busy helping a member or in the support rooms. if you leave a message, i won't reply until i am done helping the member i am listening to at that moment or when i leave the support rooms !
red - i am offline and not responding to any messages at the moment. if you leave a message, i may take awhile to respond depending on how busy i am !
mondays - thursdays : i am typically quite busy on weekdays as i have college classes to attend and work. my availability throughout the day will vary, but i will likely be most active after 5 pm until 9 or 10 pm :)
fridays - sundays : i don't have a set schedule for anything during these days, however, they are my designated days for relaxation, studying, and doing whatever else i need to get done. for this reason, availability throughout these days will vary
my roles on cups ! :
i am refraining from holding any roles as i feel i am not able to fulfill any other responsibilities <3
• verified listener : i have been verified by the community based on my commitment to active listening skills and quality chatting ! i passed a mock chat with a mentor in order to receive this badge :)
previous roles: peer appreciation team member, listener check-in host, forum supporter, subcommunity leadership events team member, listener events team member, LDP mentor, project agent, listener verifier team member, teen discussion host, chatroom moderator, safety patrol member, peer supporter, and listener coach
chats i do not take ! [please read] :
• any flirty or sexual conversations
• chats from members who are suicidal or actively self-harming and seeking crisis support as it is against 7 cups guidelines and a big trigger for me. please refer to a hotline here instead
• roleplaying chats of any sort
• chats from members who treat me disrespectfully
• topics on age regression as it can be triggering for me
• chats that get too graphic/detailed when describing sexual events
side notes ! [please read] :
• i do not recommend relying on me for fast replies if you message me out of the blue for an unscheduled chat
• there are chances i may not get back to you in certain circumstances. this most likely means that i am busy and unable to give you support at the time. you can find another listener here in the meantime !
