Member-Member Interaction Tips

Why do members join 7cups? To get support.

Each of us on our member accounts has come here to get support. We are struggling in ourselves, some way or the other.

With that in mind, the following should make a lot of sense:

1. If a fellow member is not nice to you, it is not because of you. It is their mental struggle speaking.

2. Thus, forgive them for their flaws and look out for good in your fellow member.

3. Step away when a member's behaviour gets uncomfortable or triggering for you, but without holding a personal grudge.

4. When someone is particularly kind and supportive to you, focus on them and let them know you appreciate them.

5. If you are in a position to do that, look to support the members who are genuinely seeking support and a hug.

6. Bookmark and put to use the Member Appreciation/Report Form (clickable). Appreciate good behaviour, and report the wrong one.

7. A behaviour could be good or bad, ugly or beautiful, regardless of it we believe each person carries the potential to emerge and grow as a fragrant flower -in the community and in their life.
