Came in a Guest, Left a Listener
I came to 7 Cups seeking advice for a awkward situation and didn't have anyone in my everyday life that I felt comfortable talking to.
They whole system of communication here was great and the listener I had was so great to me and really helped me figure out how to cope with my sitaution.
After I got away from the computer long enough to manage my situation and finally get some closure, I could not believe how much better I felt.
That is when I decided that I wanted to do what that listener did for me and now I'm here.
Just being a listener for a few hours has felt so rewarding and I am so happy to be on this site. <3
@aeowen I am so happy that you are here and you had such a great experience of 7 cups that you have decided to give back! You seem like such a lovely and determined individual who is very empathetic! I look forward to getting to know you and I hope to see you around tons!!!

@Aeowen -- I originally found this site as a guest, as well (and sometimes still need help from the guest/member side of things!) :) It's really been awesome and rewarding to 'pay it forward' as a listener, and I've found it's starting to help me in my own situations and life in a way, too.
I'm still a bit of a newbie here, but I want to welcome you to 7 Cups and let you know that, just by reading your post, I can tell you will make a fantastic and compassionate listener for those in need. Take good care and I hope the site continues to be a wonderful place for you!
How do i become a listener? I love to help people and i have the time to do this. I believe i would be a good listener as i never judge and am v open minded
@Shelw8, all you have to do is complete the training and you can be a listener. Here is a link.

Thank you i have now completed the training. However, i have the app downloaded on my phone and it seems i am a guest here not a listener do you know if i can be a listener through the app or do i have to go onto the website?
@Shelw8, I am not sure about the app. Can you sign in anywhere?
If not, I would guess you can only be a listener from the site or you could message tech support to see if it is a problem with your app in particular.
I remember the first time coming as a guest, I had a bad breakup and was self harming, After talking to the listener and hearing the amazing words he had to say, I realized that I wanted to do the same not for me rather because giving a kind word and listening was the best tool I had. :) So I decided to become and listener and there is not one day that I look back and regret it. :)
@Emory20 Oh my gosh, you were the one that helped me ^_^
Thank you so much~
Your welcome. >_< that made me blush a lot but im glad that i was able to help you. :)

So how are you? We havent talked in a long while. How have you been?
@Emory20 I am fine, a lot better then when we last talked.
The situation I talked to you about has been resolved. I really wanted to let you know that talking to you really helped. I never would have made the phone call if you hadn't talked to me~
I'm glad that you was able to resolve it. I really am and I'm glad you are doing good. It makes me smile to know that I could help in anyway even if it was small or big. :)
