HI there,

I am Jesse. I am 20 and I have joined cause I am going through a hard tiime with my ex. We have recently broken up do to her friends thinking that she is too good for me and pressuring her to leave me. Just looking for the support and ways to convince her that this one particular friend is using her and that I love her and she shouldn't feel pressured to do what others want

@JesseSabala I think that's a very difficult situation to be in. I am sorry that you had to lose her because of a bad friend of hers. I hope she could give you a chance to show her how much you love her and this time, she won't be too blind to see your feelings for her. Have you considered perhaps, talking to this friend of hers too? So that you could discover why she (friend) is convinced you aren't a good match to this wonderful girl you love?

Sending you virtual hugs 💌

My name is Zach, I'm 17, a sophomore in high-school. I spent almost my entire life in the foster process or homeless. I've seen some pretty messed up stuff. I've been adopted for 4 to 5 years now, and I can't seem to be able to make and/or keep friends. I'm constantly making stupid mistakes in an attempt to have a normal life like everyone else that all I do is make people hate me. Honestly I just want someone to talk to.

Hey lets be friends!

RosesAndMosaics October 28th, 2020

@ZacharyClement Hi Zachary! I hope today is better than yesterday. If it isn't, I hope something comes along your way to make you smile at the very least. I know how tough it is to forget relationships -especially the "tricky" ones in high-school. Know that it is okay to struggle because relationships aren't really easy after all. Don't be too hard on yourself (I know it sounds cliché). It'll get better somehow; just remain true to yourself. It doesn't matter even if you only end up having just a handful (even 1 is okay) of friends. So long as your relationship turns out to be genuine, it'll be worth it. Keep reaching out and being true; it may take a while but keep believing that there are people out there whom you can connect with and who would try to understand you too.

P.S. there is absolutely nothing wrong with you as a person, even if you feel you keep on making "mistakes" in these relationships. Applogize if you've hurt somebody, learn to forgive (including yourself) and you'll be fine somehow. ♡

Hello! I am here because my relationship with my husband just became incredibly complicated and I am struggling to deal with the changes. I am comitted to our marriage, and I do not want to leave him. I'm just trying to process my emotions so I can function day-to-day.

AquaNavySky October 29th, 2020

Hi, I'm here because I've been feeling more and more isolated (not even because of COVID-19). I feel like I can't connect well with others and I have a tendancy to withdraw from other people. I really want to improve this. So hopefully I can try to do that here.

HI my name is Gary. I'm 66 years old and was married for 30 years My wife passed away and I've been dealing with stress and anxiety ever since. I am looking for a chat room

Crim1211 October 29th, 2020

Hi, i've never tried anything like this before... I have a few different issues that would take me to different forums, but the most recent and important right now is relationship related. I dont no how much detail im supposed to go into or how this even works, but basically i have no friends to talk to and my (ex) "fiance" is the main problem so i cant rightly talk to her.

quietPlane9908 October 29th, 2020

This is Quiet. I'm an introvert in real life and might as well be here. I joined here because I had a hard time due to my relationship. I recently broke up with my ex, who i expected to make a life with and he also expected the same. I faced many difficulties coping with this and found my flaws. I really think there are many things I need to change. Spending time at 7cups helps me open up to release my stress and reading at forum and growth path helps me good habits and make me reflect about myself. I think I've improved a bit and I hope to learn more here.

Hello, I am Han.

Because of this pandemic, I became more lonely and distant from people. I ghosted my friends because I feel like they don't like me anymore, we all changed, and with that change, we drifted apart. I have trouble communicating socially because I am an introvert. It's really one of my concerns because it makes it difficult for me to find friends in school. Because of my introverted personality, anxiety, and fear of talking I don't get to showcase myself and my potential. Hopefully using this app, I will improve.

Hello, I'm Tex

As an introvert myself, I absolutely understand what you're going through. I'd love to share my feelings with someone who'd understand me too.

littleBranch8910 February 21st, 2021

Hey all, my name is Josh. I am here for a little bit of guidance, but mostly just knowing I'm not alone. I am always wanting to learn more about mental health and improve myself.

My friend, I am going through a similar rough time. I didn't have anxiety before, but I developed anxiety, social anxiety and depression after being in an abusive relationship. I too am struggling to find friends, after having lost my friend circle when I broke up with my abuser. It is so hard to meet people! Like, how do you just become friends with someone??? It is just hard we are not the only ones who struggle with this. It is completely natural. And YOU WILL GET THROUGH IT.

I don't want to offer you advice because I am no expert, but you might consider therapy once a week. I have heard that social anxiety is a treatable condition. even if you are not sick, therapy can still help. Just a thought, have a nice day!

grampros February 22nd, 2021

After my divorce I thought I’ll take some time being single and enjoy my life and I did for a while. But when my time came to start thinking about a relationship, my life took unexpected turns that now I feel I’m going to be alone forever for no fault of mine. I’m losing my confidence and have anxiety and feel lonely
