Creepy Listeners
Anyone else have experience chatting with a creepy listener? This listener called [name removed] wanted to chat on Skype because 7Cups was laggy and she really wanted to help me with my problem. I said before adding her that I am only comfortable chatting and not video calling and she said she was fine with it. So we were talking on Skype and she barely acknowledged my rant and started pushing me to video call. I said I didnt want to and her reply was just to see each other real quick. I asked what for and she stopped replying. Blocked her, left a negative review, and reported her to the staff.
It wasnt that bad but it sure was inappropriate. I checked Reddit and the reviews said this is really common here. Anyone else experience this? I mean, I know anyone can be a listener but damn.
This listener yesterday said "If you are hungry, we can have sex." I reported them and apparently, I got an email today that said their account was removed.
Got into an argument with user here in the forum and the user tried to contact me via the listener account so we could "take it privately."
I am genuinely disturbed that this person has a user account (because what they said would affect people who have certain traumas/issues. I reported to 7cups but never heard back. Good job, site. :/
Thats disturbing. Ive had a couple Listeners who I think were just bored and trying to kill time, nothing creepy though. One just responded with dang to anything I said.
I finally found a Listener that I clicked with yesterday, it was awesome and I felt really comfortable. Now hes gone.
I removed the name, as even when someone is inappropriate we keep who we have 1-1s with confidential.
No listener should ever do this and it's really frustrating that this is a problem, but I can't imagine we'll be getting rid of inappropriate listeners completely in the near future.
It helps to stick to the no off-site contact rule and report any issues that do come up.
@EmilyEarwig your frustration is understandable yet you willingly went on Skype to continue??
one time i had a listener who said that he is a professional therapist so he would help me if i pay him like 50 dollar more or less, talkin bout creep he's a fraud careful kids
