Members - Welcome to 7 Cups! Introduce yourself Here!

Hi

I am a Uni student and I wish to offer support and an listening ear to people suffering in this platform. I have been through depression and PTSD and during those times I wished I had someone to whom I can talk to, who will listen to me in a non judgemental and supportive manner. I can empathize with the people who seek support but this is my first time as a listener here. Needless to say, I am nervous. Any tips from people who listen and/or seek support here?

Welcome everyone

Hi All! Hope you're okay!

I've been a been on the other side of the chat so I understand how much it can help people. That's all I want to do really is just help. Sad thing is, is that I'm not very good at help. When people tell me their issues I just freeze and don't know what to say. I just end being very empathic and sometimes offer advice which I hate doing coz it doesn't help..! So I've come back to learn how to be a better listener and help people in my life and on this platform. I am also considering being a Art Therapist so this is a good way to get experience in talking to people having lots of different issues and seeing if I can handle it.. I am very sensitive so get very emotional and I'm too good at putting myself in other peoples shoes as I feel what they are feeling very real.

Hopefully with time and practice it'll all get easier.

What brought you here? :)
