Listeners

idiopath February 20th, 2021

As a 50 year old, I’m finding it difficult to relate to most of the listeners here, who seem to be teenagers on average. I use the iPhone app, and I can search for listeners who are over 18 pretty successfully, but I’m not finding anyone close to my own age. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Hello @idiopath

Thank you for sharing this post. I can see that being a problem and I totally understand wanting a listener nearer your age group.

Were you aware that you can search for listeners who are 35+? I know it's not near 50, but that may help narrow down your search. Some listeners state their age, here is a 40 year old listener for example - https://www.7cups.com/@intelligentElementary62

You might also benefit from posting in the member classified area, where you could request a listener near your age and listeners will hopefully respond offering to support you. :)

Best wishes.

Yes, I am also in my 50s. I just rejoined after several years away. It does seem, now, that overall many of the listeners are younger. I do use the over 35 search-does seem to have older listeners, just fewer of them. I am glad the younger generation wants to help, and I know they have training- but thy may not always be able to understand us “older folks with issues.”
