Change in life with more openness
Helloo,
I want to tell something about myself.
When I joined 7 cups I thought it was only work like a messaging app. But now I able to understand it is more Than that. I always want to work on myself but I wasn't knew how do work on myself but its help me.
So I always being an introvert person. I don't know why but I was not like to talk with other people maybe because of fear. I want to share it here which I never been share with anyone I have always a fear if I share my problems people will judge me like see how she is stupid or how she is foolish even sometimes I know the answer in the class I thought everyone will laugh. But all this is past. And I past is always past it never comes back.
Now i want to be more open and more courage ful in my life. Because with out being courageous we can't do anything in life. We need to be courageous at every step. So I can share anything what I want to share. I always want some guide always want to get some people who understand me. Iam trying to work on me every step so I will be a more better person and there something good come in life which is holding by future.
Now I got it I need to work on myself and be more try new things.
I hope so someone want to share something with me about this ?
And tell how they are working on themselves for be a better person?
Hi @Feelfree667nice to meet you ^^
7 Cups is a platform for everyone to talk and get support when needed. So I'm happy for you that you found us and found a place where people can talk without judgement. Becuause that's really important to this community. No judgement! 😁
I can understand you so well! I always struggled with talking to people about my problems and feelings. I know exactly how this feels! *offers hugs* Being an introvert isn't always easy but everyone can learn to express themselves more openly. And I think 7 cups is a great place for that. Our listeners will listen to you at any time and support you the best thay can. So will I and I hope to help many people in the future.So I'm here for you if you want to talk about it or just casually chat. You can reach out to me at any time. ^^
But I'm also a little scared of this, it's new to me. New things scare us sometimes and I think it's so brave of you to start being more confident with so much confidence. You seem to exactly have in mind what you want to achieve, so I'm positive that you will reach your goal. You're strong, you have a plan, you can do this!
I'm rooting for you! You are awesome! ^^
Keep it up and take care ^^
*hugs you again* 😘

Hey there! I've been on this journey in 7 cups for 4 years now and I can proudly say that I've certainly broken out of my shell. Listening to people express their feelings has a profound impact on the Listener, it helps shed light onto things you've never thought of or experienced; it helps expose yourself to new and intriguing situations and conversations while challenging you to express empathy and understanding.
With time, this practice becomes easier, more innate, but it certainly takes the effort to actively grow and experience these things!
I've noticed myself applying active listening skills in real life too, making me a much more approachable and expressive person- therefore exposing myself to new situations where I can show my skills! It's a gift that keeps giving, and growth comes naturally hand in hand. 💛

Hi, I am also an introvert. I don't think it's because of fear though. I just didn't like people and found it hard to be around them in person but with seven cups, I've been able to understand people better and also let them open up to me as a listener.

Hi😊! I'm so glad that being on 7 cups has helped you. In my personal life, I'm also an introverted person, but ever since becoming a listener, I've realized that I am able to express myself more easily. Your fear of being vulnerable is valid and I relate to you on that. However, just by sharing your experience through this post, I can tell that you are indeed courageous.
7 cups is an amazing community and place for growth and becoming more open as a person. By practicing and applying active listening skills, you're not just creating a safe space for others, but for yourself as well, because when you display empathy, validation, ask open-ended questions, etcetera, it makes you realize that you can extend and apply those same skills towards your own journey and growth.
There are different ways in which I personally implement those skills in my life. With empathy, I label my emotions as they come by acknowledging how I feel. I also engage in mindfulness to help cultivate that. When I accept my emotions without judgement, I tend to feel validated. Journaling is also a habit that allows me to reflect on those emotions, such as by asking myself, "What is causing me to feel this way?" and "What are some things that I can do to allow me to feel better?" or "What did I learn from this experience?".
Working on yourself takes courage and the willingness to be open. I think that first begins with having the right intention and mindset which you seem to possess. I wish you all the very best on your journey. You got this!

hi its good to hear you are trying to work on yourself but remember not to be harsh on your self during this process as there may be times you will feel you are not making any progress but remeber you are doing your best and just do whatever best you can make out of the next moment
