Managing expectations towards others
...See more Let’s start with a brief story about expectations She was angry, very disappointed and in disbelief about what just happened!  “I’ve always supported her, stood by her side and now she goes against me in front of everyone!” “I’m stupid, nothing I do is right and they treat me like I am worthless!” “I deserve this” “I don’t know what to do, what I want. How can she leave me now?! I need her to be here and fix this situation!” The end What could have gone wrong here? What could be the problem with having expectations? Here are some things to consider * Don't assume that everyone will agree with you every time. The majority of people have their own thoughts and opinions. Expecting others to consistently agree with yours is unrealistic. * When you criticize yourself, don't expect other people to acknowledge you. If you don't treat yourself with respect, you can't expect others to respect you. * When someone is ready to leave, don't expect them to stay. Letting go can be hard but it can also be the best for everyone. * Don’t expect others to be mind readers and know what you think. It does not work. Begin by being truthful with yourself about your thoughts, feelings, and desires. After that, you can begin telling people about it. * When you are unable to solve problems for yourself, don't expect others to do it for you. There are times we simply need to reach out for professional support. Participation question: * When things do not turn out the way you hoped, do you stay calm or experience resentment? * How are you dealing with feelings of resentment? Helpful Videos: Relax... Everything is Going to be Okay! [https://youtu.be/RVzIDLcGzYw?si=Gdjq5d32I-5Fk8ia] Helpful Resources: The Psychology of Expectations [https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/cui-bono/201802/the-psychology-expectations?msockid=090361324baa6f391c9674664ae56e99] The dangers of expectations [https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/putting-psychology-into-practice/202501/the-danger-of-expectations-how-they-shape-our-lives?msockid=090361324baa6f391c9674664ae56e99] Seeking Help  Mental stress can cause us not to be able to see the good things in life and lead to excessive rumination or worries which can result in serious health problems. If you have serious, long-term problems with negative thinking and feeling depressed, see your doctor or talk to a therapist if they are related to any mental challenges.  Are you looking for a therapist? 7 Cups has online, certified therapists with a paid option.

Updated Version: Member Compassion Course
...See more Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well. This post is about - the 7 Cups Compassion Course [https://www.7cups.com/forum/welcome/Resourcesat7CupstoHelpYou_1275/ReIntroducingMemberCompassionCourse_252883/] which we reintroduced in 2021.  The goal of this course is to understand and know the basics of practicing compassion and help & support our members to have a compassionate experience in the community. This course allows you to foster healthy conversations and connections as well as be a compassionate, loving, supportive, and amazing member of the group support chats [https://www.7cups.com/connect/groupChatrooms.php] and the community. Based on the feedback we received, we made some changes and improvements to make the course a bit more comprehensive as well as covering different topics like compassion, self-compassion, universal compassion, benefits, and challenges, etc to foster a better understanding and practice of compassion in our daily lives.  Who can participate? Any member can take this quiz. Even if you are an experienced member, give it an attempt. Because we are all learning and practicing compassion. How can a member participate? * Once you have completed the course, please let us know in the comments of this post. * Also, tag any 3 members you know to invite them to take the quiz as well. If you do not know anyone, that is okay. * Your responses to the course will be auto-graded and if you successfully pass it, you will receive a “Compassion Hero” badge. * If you didn’t pass, that’s okay. Feedback will be shared and then you can retake the course. Why should you give it an attempt? Because it presents an opportunity to take a moment to self-reflect and assess self-awareness. Here is some feedback that we received on why one took this course.  * I appreciate the opportunity to take a moment and reflect on self-awareness. It’s a good exercise to be intentional and concise. Life is a daily practice, and practicing compassion never hurts. * I was nicely surprised to take this course because sadly some people need to be refreshed on how to treat others, and it's a great feeling knowing that 7cups take that extra precaution to protect all of us on our journeys. Thank you! * How engaging and thought-provoking the questions were. * I liked that the course made me stop to think about compassion and how I can be more compassionate. * I learned a few ways that I could be more compassionate. I'm not the best at reaching out.  * The course helped me understand more about compassion and gave me questions that got me to think. >> Take the Compassion Course and share your score in the comments. Let's celebrate our commitment to kindness together. 💖 [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScMEXP6lopKu4ZJAtmctmwk0vq9Fp7T892gWJteqmQoIJa_Dg/viewform]<< (Text is hyperlinked, click it to start the quiz)

Struggling
...See more I am so lonely and depressed. My bf is sitting in the other room and the situation is messed up. He might be going to jail and we have no money for bail.
