Terribly afraid of 1-on-1 conversations
KnotTheNorm October 22nd, 2016

I've tried a couple of times to open up to a listener here, but every time I become so riddled with anxiety and back out of the chat with without saying anything at all or after nervously making no sense. I really want someone to talk to about moving forward with my life, but I can't seem to shake this terror when it comes to live chatting with another person. It even gets this way with people I know and am familiar with, so the idea of opening up to a stranger almost immobilizes me completely.

But I'd like to change. I really am motivated to talk to someone if anyone is patient enough to give me a chance.

@KnotTheNorm you can talk to me, I'm not officially a listener, and I guess you can message ppl privately on here, but I'll be glad to listen if you want to reply

Hi, You can message me anytime you want and we could talk at your pace. If you want me to listen quietly, I would. Good luck with your anxiety. *hugs*

Hi there! I can totally relate to your anxiety that you are feeling while chatting. I'd love to talk with you - just go to my profile by clicking on my name and start a chat with me. I'll respond to you ASAP.

If you're interested, you can always message me. I understand it's nervewracking and we can take time to get places. If it's best for you to start with idle chat, we can definitely do that and go from there. I hope you have a good day!

Hi @KnotTheNorm,

Feel free to send me a message https://www.7cups.com/@NatureWalk

If it helps you feel a little less nervous, I don't have the app on my phone. I sign into 7cups online when I have time and feel able to offer a listening ear. That means I don't get immediate notifications when someone sends me a message. You can send me offline messages and I'll read them later that day or later that week - and respond then. If ever you reach a point that you wish to have a live-chat, you can mention it and we can sort out a time to both be online.

I'm not in a rush, so don't worry about taking your time.

Best of luck
