Thanks for tagging me lovely❤😊

I love your profile pic btw, it's super cute😍

I am not great in answering questions but I will try my best. Loneliness is really difficult to cope with. Sometimes, we feel lonely even if there are people around us. It's really unusual feeling and can't be describe in words and at that moment we need someone to talk with us or to care for us. Everyone needs someone to talk and to care for them which is quite understandable. And I guess we should treat the person who's seeking help with loneliness very kindly and friendly. Because in loneliness, you don't want anything except someone's company. And for initiating chat with someone who's lonely, you can talk about their loneliness, reason behind loneliness moreover you can explore interests and hobbies, no one knows if you can be their best friend. And in the end, you just need a cute hug 🤗❤

@Arunarora12 I do not understand this question. If someone is seeking help, then they already initiated.

I mean, how do you know they are seeking help with loneliness? The person must have told you this. Therefore you do not have to initiate the chat. You only have to listen to what the person said to you and respond to what they said.

Maybe you asked this question for a different reason? Can you explain some more?

@RarelyCharlie

there is a header under each req which tells us about the section they want help with so i was referring to that

@Arunarora12 Ah yes, you're right. So in that case you would normally reflect their choice. Maybe greet them first, and welcome them to 7 Cups in the usual way, and then:

Can you tell me more about your loneliness?

Of course, that is a closed question (with a possible yes/no answer), so you need to be prepared to follow up with an open question if they don't tell you more.

@Arunarora12 Thanks for taking your time and sharing your concern. so they are a few ways to handle these chat's the best is if we ask open-ended questions so the chat keeps flowing we basically use our active listening skills and its important to set boundaries when chatting with such a member. I hope this answer's your question you can always PM me if you need more help.
