Dealing with really horrible listeners

Sometimes you get great people, sometimes you can get really horrible people.

Just today I got this one listener who told me I was a loser for feeling down and basically said I deserved all the bad things that happened simply because I told them they were wrong. I reported them but honestly I hope no one else comes across a similar experience. It can be really hard already dealing with mental health issues and the worst thing is getting more judgment and hate when you're promised understanding and support.

I hope no one else had similar experiences. Sending love and hoping those people learn or stop being listeners.

@modestMelon0001 It always makes me a little sad when I hear about listeners who are being disrespectful. I am personally sorry on behalf of all the dedicated listeners who come here only to provide encouragement and support to those who are looking for it. I am also glad that you reported this particular individual. That's the best way to start decreasing the negative experiences. Take care, Melon, and keep seeking out verified listeners who are here for all the right reasons.

Some listeners are not very helpful, I agree

I am so sorry for everything you all have experienced here with the listeners. Some just have their own unique approach that just does match with someone's needs but yet there might be some who just while they have good intentions, arent cut out for listening or maybe they just had a bad off day. But thats the best part, you can end the chat and try again until you find someone that works perfectly for you. Thank you for expressing how you feel. You're all amazing just by being you. Remember that.

@modestMelon0001 sorry this happened to you. I haven't had good experiences with listeners on here either. I've left this platform because of that and come back but it seems to be getting worse instead of better.
