I don't understand
I'm new to the app and I don't know how I'm supposed to act, what the social constructs withing the communities are, and I don't know what a listener is. I feel like this app can help, I'm just too afraid of messing up to join in on any of thr forums or communities. Any advice?
@BarbedwireCowgirl Welcome to 7cups :) You have several options of how you want to go about this site/app. You can participate in the forums, which are basically support forums where people discuss what's on their mind, how to cope with their challenges and struggles, or just share some uplifting things to brighten someone's day. You can search for a listener/choose to be connected to a random listener for a 1-on-1 confidential conversation. This is basically where your listener listens to what you have to say. They won't give you any magical solution or advice, but they will guide the conversation in a way that will lead you to bring out what you want to express. You can discuss a specific issue or trouble or just share your loneliness or what's on your mind. There are also group chats but sometimes they aren't moderated on time and a few mean people slip in. So I've stuck to the 1-on-1 listener chat and the forums.
Feel free to ask anything else :) and I hope you have a nice time here.
