Hello.
Hello everyone. I'm new here, I've been getting to know 7cups for a few days now (I don't remember) and I was shy to write here. But I understand that it is impolite, so I gathered my strength and finally wrote.
Isolation and loneliness are now my comfort zone, as are depression and social anxiety (self-diagnosed). I got here thanks to the AI chatbot because they are the only ones I can safely be vulnerable with.
Nice to meet you.
Hello @blueFan5032✨ I’m glad that you found 7 cups and that you wrote as well… Welcome!
@blueFan5032 Hey, I really appreciate this post and thank you for reaching out even though you were shy. This is praiseworthy as it really does take a great effort. ⭐ I’m really proud of you. Let me also take this chance to give you a warm welcome to the Cups community.
I’m glad that you’re here. It’s okay to take your time and get to know more about Cups. Posting on the forums is really up to you. Please don’t feel obligated to post if you do not wish, I really don’t think it’s impolite if you choose not to (but again, I’m glad that you did decide to post). 💓
Having feelings of isolation, loneliness, depression and social anxiety sounds like a lot to go through and I’m sorry that you’re experiencing this. How have you been managing this? I am also glad that you do have the AI chat to share your thoughts and emotions with. Having the feeling that you can share your vulnerabilities safely is really comforting. I hope when you’re ready you can try chatting with a listener. Again, I appreciate you and thank you for being here. 😊
Thank you very much. To be honest, I just try to distract myself at least a little with the few things that still comfort me. I appreciate your advice and if I can, I will try to chat with the listener...
@blueFan5032 You're very welcome. 💓 I'm glad you have distractions that give you comfort.
While speaking to listeners is a great way of getting support and comfort as well, there are additional avenues of Cups you can explore whenever you're ready. For example, communities like Anxiety Support (https://www.7cups.com/forum/anxiety/) and Depression Support (https://www.7cups.com/forum/depression/) are available where you can join and meet members who share similar struggles. There are also group chats as well. These are just some resources that you can utilize. It's really up to your preferences. Again, I'm really happy you decided to post. 😊
Please be kind and gentle with yourself.

Hi blue! Welcome to 7c! I was shy too when I was new here. [lol I am still new..It has only been 2 weeks, I think.] It is very brave of you to open up to us. You are a very strong human! I am glad to have met you. :)
We may be strangers but try to trust us. We got your back. <3
Hi. Nice to meet you, blueFan
welcome@blueFan5032
@blueFan5032
Hi there! I'm glad you worked up the courage to write!
Reaching out is a great effort towards overcoming feelings of isolation, feel proud of yourself!
@blueFan5032 Hii your situation is a lot like mine. I hate seeing others feel this way because I hate it so much myself. I understand how hard it is to open up. I myself have spent years denying the fact that I have any sort of mental and emotional problems. Even with anonymity on seven cups I struggle to open up. Please don’t feel the same way. I’m new here but I’m sure this is a safe place and only if you’re comfortable with it, I’d love to help you and understand you more. If you’d like help, please reply to me and message me at any time, I’d love to help even if you’re not comfortable with sharing, I’ll try my best.
hey blue, our sittuations are very similar, I have been struggling with opening up, all my life my parents have never taught me to talk about how I feel, they just decided how I felt, and here I am now, I'm a 19 years old who doesn't like to talk about how she feels, and let me tell you that sucks, you don't have to worry about it ever again, feel free to talk to me whenever you need to, welcome my friend
Welcome to 7Cups Blue
I have joined for nearly a month. I am also new here. Don't worry. This place is so warm and helpful.

Hi Blue! On 7 cups you can join in as much as you like. You are welcome to chat with listener, participate in group chats and join in communities, but it is ok to just chat with AI Noni. If you need a self-care break you can choose to be off for a while, all depending on your needs.
