Questions to Let Your Inner Leader Out

@Fristo

What used to be your favorite area of cups when you first joined? How did your interests develop or change over your stay at cups?

My favourite area of cups when I first joined was 1-1 as I didn't know much of anything else. :p I barely went to the TCL or whatever that room is for like 5 times? Anyways when I came to the adult side i started exploring the forums and a member suggested I get a mentor (😛😛), then I became interested in the VL project and started going to LSR to get 2 chats and seeing the leaders there made me curious to learn more and as I learned more my interest developed in group support, though I'm 86% introverted. 🏃‍♀️

What used to be yr favorite area of cups when you first joined? How did your interest develop or change over your stay at cups?

Talking to a listener was one of my favorite areas as I was going through a bad phase in all aspects. Upon further exploration, there are other things going on, e.g. sharing circle, forums, support groups. It made me aware that there are also others suffering too. I was not alone in this and am glad to help someone in need, even tho it's just a little. 🙂

   It was 1-on-1 chats for me. I loved helping people out through my experiences. And then, as I started knowing the site better - my interest grew towards the forum discussions through ice-breakers, quizzes, monthly events. I loved the idea of getting rewarded through badges, certifications and even cheer points. Later, I took an interest in the 7 Cups' internship program(it was when there was no 7 Cups Academy and this was the only program available). After graduating with honours, I was curious to join other roles such as translations, safety patrol, social soldier(this interest was fulfiled by the revamped lightship team) and I did. 💜

   I was never interested in group chats as I saw people talking about random things, being sarcastic and even making fun of people. There was someone who once interfered and discouraged people saying how they don't like when strangers ask each other how they are doing by being extra nice which looked fake to them. I mean how else could someone break that ice on 7 Cups? It's funny how people judge others so quickly even in such supporting rooms. I was never made fun of by anyone but I mostly felt unwelcomed as there were people who already had a group of friends only chatting to each other. I did join some guided sessions and they were great but that's about it. So, I concluded that group chats are not my cup of tea as I cannot withstand people getting mocked when the primary goal of these groups is to provide support and not otherwise.

4. What do you like most about us, the 7cups community?

   Everything ❤ that is why I am here.

5. What message do you have today for all the cupsers?

   Regardless of whether you're a listener or a member, I highly appreciate your presence. ❤

6. What are your dreams on cups and beyond?

   To help humanity selflessly. 💜

7. What tips do you have for us to evolve as good human beings?

   These tips are for me first and then for others because I believe in practising what I preach.

   "Never judge a book by its cover"

   "Every one of us is fighting our own battle. So, be kind to all."

I would like to be a listener and also go back to school to be an addictions counselor. Live in peace and avoid controversy.

@Fristo

1. Everything mattered. I was a child, open to every wonder. Open to other things too. I mattered. Hopefully, despite everything, I still do.

2. I refine that message every day. My message is never ending. I've almost always sent the wrong ones... I'm trying to change that.

3. I started needing to talk. I also wanted to listen and did some volunteer listening. Now? I'm going through the hardest and most meaningful times I've ever known. I may be all over the place sometimes.

4. An online mental health community like this is probably the most needed thing ever.

5. Stay strong. Forget the freak, you're just nature. Look for solutions, don't actively look for the obstacles. Maybe there are none. You're in complete control when you're ready to be.

6. My dreams? I'm trying to get ready to be master of the universe. That's not really ego, I just want things to be more interesting and to cut all the cycles of abuse. Any way that I'm not ready to be doing that is a way that I could be better. Though, indeed, I'd have an impossibly long way to go. Still, I promise flying beds, no disease, and video games for everyone.

7. Evolve as human beings? Just listening. Exactly what we're doing here. Get out of the clenches fists of our egos and the confines of our minds. Positivity and humor are everywhere. Think a thought every day that helps you be the solution.

@Fristo

I'd like to answer just two questions

4. What I like the most about 7cups is the idea and ite value. A bunch of people, coming together to help others. I know it may sound generic
