2) Community Questions and Answers - The Basis of Mental Health Awareness and Support
As previously introduced, the Questions and Answers Pages at 7 Cups offer a wide range of quality based answers to common mental health questions
Questions and Answers are available for 38 main categories, ranging from General Mental Health, Disabilities, Managing Emotions, Loneliness, Grief, Recovery, Student Life, Work Stress, and many more!
Through this directory of available knowledge, awareness, and support, 7 Cups is equipped with answers to the common questions and concerns people have. Most of these Questions and Answers are featured in search engine results due to the value of the content they contain.
The main community Questions and Answers Page offers a recent questions section as well as a section containing the most answered questions.
All 7 Cups users are invited to search for or ask new questions through the main page. Community users can also participate in this area by submitting their answers, which are reviewed by a team for quality and other important requirements.
Through this discussion, we will discuss the basic requirements needed to research as well as write quality answers for the Question and Answer Pages. Additionally, we will optimize the drafted answers in light of certain guidelines.
(i) Basic Research and Writing Requirements: When writing answers to community questions, keep in mind these tips:
-
You need to write a minimum of 150 characters and 100 words.
-
If research is needed to guide your answer, consider only learning about the topic and avoid direct copy/pasting researched tips, advice, or information.
-
Consider verifying the information or facts through at least 2 reliable sources.
-
When researching possible answers or things the person can benefit from, consider their circumstances and if the tip is do-able and generally applicable.
-
Avoid plagiarism.
-
Use professional and appropriate language.
-
If comfortable, you can add a personal anecdote to help add meaning to your answer. However, avoid turning the answer to just your account or an entire focus on your experience.
-
Be empathetic, and consider using active listening skills to help not only answer their question but their feelings - this adds connection and meaning to your answer, as well as identifies understanding, which can lead to trust.
-
Answers should be related to the question and must contain tips or approaches to help deal with the question/situation instead of vague responses, even if positive.
-
7 Cups is based on avoiding direct advice, this is because we do not know the complete scenario or situation a person may be facing. Keeping that in mind, avoid giving answers that provide one possible “solution” - a good tip is to consider encompassing all possible outcomes or more than one thing the person can try.
(ii) Ensuring Optimized Answers: Although the above requirements and tips help deliver a great answer, further optimization of drafted answers can help ensure their quality.
At 7 Cups, the Content Team uses researched and identified important keywords to guide their research and the writing process to result in optimized content as answers to community questions. In this regard, the basic tips/requirements involved are:
-
Ensure answers have at least 8 to 10 sentences.
-
Ensure the usage/incorporation of the maximum number or all of the provided keywords that can relate to the topic.
What are Keywords?
Generally, keywords can be thought of as terms or phrases that describe a piece of content. Related keywords are supporting keywords that can help further describe or expand on that initial content. For example, for the keyword “anxiety”, related keywords can be “anxiety symptoms” or “anxiety treatments”.
Keywords help with search engine marketing and hence are an important part of SEO strategies. A simple strategy to find keywords is to look for Google Related Searches. These related searches are searches that relate to your term. For instance, a Google Related Search for “anxiety symptoms” is “what is anxiety” - using this insight, you can consider including this phrase alongside a brief category of your content outline to help strengthen the optimization of your content.

Review this Sample Optimized Answer:
Question: How do paper bags help with panic attacks?
Provided Keywords: asthma attack, heart attacks, asthma, problems, brown paper bag, medical conditions, hyperventilation syndrome, mouth, respiratory alkalosis, common causes, chest pain, benefit, stress, medications
Approved, Optimized Answer:
While panic attacks might mimic the symptoms of heart attacks, they can be caused by several other problems and medical conditions. These include feeling stressed or facing medical conditions such as asthma attacks, hyperventilation syndrome, or even respiratory alkalosis. Although the common causes may differ, common symptoms include chest pain. Deep breathing through the mouth or by using a brown paper bag has its benefits, as it aids in the restoration of the loss of carbon dioxide in the blood during the panic attack.
Notes: The question was general, requiring general research-based knowledge on the process of using paper bags for panic attacks. As the keywords were essentially covered, note that this answer does not have 8-10 sentences, but further supporting information or even a personal anecdote can be added.

We have all felt this feeling of self-doubt. We question whether we’re good enough for our parents, partner, or family members. We also start to get into negative self-talk mode where our harshest inner critic resides, telling us that we’re not good enough. Social media also adds fuel to fire because we see people that seem to being doing better than us, which lowers our self-esteem.
I want to first say that’s it’s going to be ok. These feelings are natural for human beings, and it gives us the opportunity to learn about self-love and self-confidence. Self-love and self-confidence are important because it allows us to be ok with our flaws instead of comparing ourselves to others. They also help us understand that the people closest to us are not focused on our flaws, and that they see us for amazing person we are.
Now, the question is “what to do when when you feel you are not good enough for someone?” I don’t think there is one perfect solution that will work for everyone. There are many paths that people can take to help with self-love and self-confidence. A few of paths can be trying to avoid thinking negative thoughts about yourself, talking to a trusted therapist, or stating 3 good positive affirmations about yourself. These are only a few paths, but at the end of the day, it all comes to down to what will work best for you. It also important to remember that it takes time, so take it day by day. I hope this answers the question. Take care everyone!

I like how the answer is flowed from starting with identifying the problem first because to find the best solution, we need to find the problem first. Then reassuring the person to be okay with that issue.
Third, is how to work on that issue. Very informative and assuring to develop positive self care attitude.

Hi Ocean,
Here is my quick feedback for you.
3 strengths (things done correctly as per discussed guidelines)
1.) Your work is 100% non-plagiarized 👍
2.) I like the friendly tone you use in your text, and that would definitely give comfort to the person reading it 👍
3.) You made realistic and actionable suggestions, like putting sticky notes, and even I would do that 👍
1 tip for improving the answer.
1.) I noticed a few spelling errors, but that could be avoided if you simply used tools like Grammarly to correct your article.
@magicalOcean594
Hey! I love your post. Specifically, I think it's great that you had positive affirmations in your writing. I also loved that you offered easy solutions such as writing sticky notes. Your introduction grabbed my attention and I liked your writing overall. I think it was easy to read; however, it may be good to consider spacing out your ideas in mini paragraphs. Small pieces of writing are easier to read and will grab the attention of your audience. Overall, great job!
@SoulfullyAButterfly
What to do when you feel you are not good enough for someone?
We live in a generation where we constantly have to prove ourselves to others in order to feel adequate. Plus, social media plays a huge role in how we measure success these days, and if we do not meet these standards created by society, we end up feeling like we are not good enough. It's even worse when we feel like we are not good enough for someone. Most of the time there is a voice inside of us, the inner critic, that affects our self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-worth, causing us to constantly talk negatively to ourselves, to doubt ourselves, and to think that we are not good enough for anyone - be it our parents, our partner, or our children.
The good news is that there is a way to combat this feeling. Of course, you may think that the best thing to do is to ignore the thought completely or have a thick skin, but how long can you ignore the thought without dealing with your true feelings. There are many ways you can deal with this problem and some of them are listed below:
1. Self Love.
The first step is to love yourself. Love yourself enough to prioritize your mental health and do things that will help you improve. Take care of your well-being by being kind to yourself. Also, acknowledge the fact that you cannot change certain things about yourself, and that is what makes you authentic. Always remember that you are who you are and that you are a wonderful person.
2. Communication is the key.
Surround yourself with family members and friends who will support and encourage you to become a better person by celebrating both your small and big successes, but also being aware of your weaknesses, not disapproving of you for the mistakes you make, and always reminding you of what you did wrong.
3. Find your tribe.
First, you must forgive those who have not been kind to you so that you can build trust with new people and welcome the right people into your life who are good to you and have no bad intentions. In this way, you can cultivate healthy relationships and create a safe space where you can share your thoughts and feelings without judgment. However, if you cannot find people to support you, you can always seek therapy from a counselor.
4. Live in the moment
Stop looking for the real reason why you are not good enough for someone by digging up information about the past and constantly worrying about what others think of you. Embrace the moment and instead try to pay attention to everything that is happening around you during a particular task or activity. This will help you bring more awareness of the present moment into your life.
Good Luck!

Question: What to do when you feel you are not good enough for someone?
When you feel like you are not good enough for someone you may doubt yourself and perhaps even talk about yourself negatively. In such a situation, it is important to catch yourself when you think those key phrases and turn them into something positive, so that you can improve your self-confidence and see you're true self-worth. Because you are an amazing person!
Often when people feel they are not good enough for someone, they mean their loved ones, such as their parents, their children, their friends, or their partners. One of the best ways to get rid of this fear is to communicate with your loved ones and talk to them about your feelings. At the end of the day, communication is key to healthy relationships and if the person truly does love you and sees you're worth they will reassure you of this as many times as you need!

@SoulfullyAButterfly
Do you feel you are not good enough for someone? Let’s take a step back and think about it.
You love people. You have good intentions. You strive to do the right thing and at the end of the day, you are the person you want to be.
Nonetheless, you consider the opinions of others because you also want to be an amazing person for them. Your family members, children, and/or partner are important to you; however, you don’t truly know what goes on inside their heads. Unfortunately, you take a guess and your inner critic thinks the worst. You want to do the right thing; but, you judge yourself harder than you would ever judge someone else.
I encourage you to consider open communication as a solution. By vocalizing your thoughts you can maintain healthy relationships while also setting your mind straight. Self-doubt is often based on thoughts rather than facts; however, further information will ground you in the reality of the situation.

@SoulfullyAButterfly
Question: What to do when you feel you are not good enough for someone?
Our past actions often sit in front of us, potentially causing us to wonder if "I am lacking somewhere" or if "I am not doing enough". That usually happens when we are making a decision for ourselves. Our inner critic comes knocking twice or three times a day to instill self-doubt in us. It creates a negative self-talk environment by draining all positive self-talk, and we begin to question our self-worth based on our accomplishments.
Many factors become catalysts to this, including comparing ourselves to others on social media and in general, relationships that aren't working out. We feel alone when we experience feelings like hopelessness, guilt, grief, and anger. We may be experiencing some difficult and painful emotions, but we are not alone. Feelings are energies that may be influenced, not fact
s. In fact, we are all amazing and meant to do great things in our lives;our mind is not our enemy, but sometimes we let our fear control us. The good news is we have a whole life in front of us. As long as we are willing to learn, and we're having a good time, it's okay. Having open communication with our partner, family member, or support system, our parents to preserve a relationship with them, writing a journal since taking a step back is also progress, and some positive affirmations for anxiety are all helpful. However, self-esteem can sometimes be a roadblock to our aspirations. The first step is to give voice to our thoughts and concerns, understanding and feeling our emotion, then accepting them. rather than running away from them. Introspection has always been the most effective for me. It allows us to investigate and comprehend on a profound level. Paying attention to oneself and asking the appropriate questions for self-reflection boosts our self-confidence. I hope this was helpful.
At the end of the day, we're all doing our best and trying to do the right thing; let's move on and not become prisoners of the past. Good luck!

@SoulfullyAButterfly
Everybody has their strengths and weaknesses, it is often difficult to always look at the greener side but understanding one's self worth and capabilities can take us to greater heights and make our parents, partner and friends proud. It makes the relationship with oneself more healthy. The first step is recognizing our weaknesses and working on them while polishing our strengths together. Not everybody we meet can always resonate with our energy, not everybody we want, will stay in our lives. you are an amazing person and the actions of others are never in our control. It is difficult to let go and accept it but it is what we can only do. It is the best way to grow and transform into a better version of yourself.

Feeling of unworthiness and similar kind of self doubt may arise due to several circumstances. For example: Social media in some cases. We often feel down comparing ourselves with others every time and criticise ourselves. But if we practice looking at our brightest sides and trying to be less harsh towards of less liked self helps us become a better person. No one is perfect or too good or too bad for someone. Everyone is unique. Embracing ourselves regardless of strength and weakness is never easy. But know you're an awesome person and you deserve good things. When one negative self thought arises try to replace them with your three best qualities. It's difficult to find them at first but when you look close you can! Try communicating with your friends and family members to know your best qualities when you find it harder to see. A healthy relationship embraces people as they are and makes them feel at ease without the pressure. Voice your opinion and you'll surely see how others view you. Sometimes we are our worst critic. Please be kind to yourself.

Is to put your writing into paragraphs as some might find it easier to read.
All the best 👍

What to do when you feel you are not good enough for someone?
Sometimes, the real reason we feel insecure and as if we are not good enough for others, is due to the negative conditioning we have absorbed from childhood. Often one may pick this up from parents and family members as it is unfortunately an ongoing generational cycle.
In this case trying to recognise negative cycles in one's family and having open communication could be beneficial for you and your family.
However, feeling good enough is not about others or how someone else may view you, but rather about how you feel about yourself. The first step is to realise that you are infact good enough! Everyone is, but many do not realise it.
Working towards combating the inner critic and shutting of the negative self talk is crucial. Some ways of doing so is to: practicing mindfulness, going to therapy, chatting to a trained listener on 7cups and meditation.
Building the self confidence you need might seem challenging to at first but it is a beautiful journey to becoming a better person, the best version of you. You will reach this by unconditional self love and positive self talk.
I leave you with a quote by famous poet Rumi, "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find the barriers within yourself thay you have built against it"
Wish you all the best on your journey❤
