Finding a listener
Hi so am i the only one struggling to find a listener? All the ones I’ve tried either never respond, take forever to respond or they’re not online for days at a time. Does anyone have a listener that they would recommend?
Agreed.Im also having some difficulty finding a long time listener and I have reached out to a few different listeners on 7 cups
@TiredSoul99 No, you are not the only one. I've seen other members express similar frustration in the forum.
If a listener has a Chat Now button, they are very likely to respond. If a listener only has a Leave Message button, they are not required to respond to messages that are left.
Many dedicated listeners only log in once or twice a week, so it's true that they are "not online for days at a time". Listeners are not required to log in every day. Of course, you can message a listener as often as you need to, even when they are not online.
Many listeners provide long term support but they are not signed up to the Long Term Support scheme, so when you are using Browse Listeners to find a listener, it can sometimes be useful to leave the Long Term Support checkbox clear.

I know what you mean! But don't worry, there are lots of great listeners here! I personally have chatted with KindnessMatters2020. She was awesome and spent lots of time supporting me when I was a first a member here.
I am having the same problem. When I look at the one’s with the green dots, I can’t find one with my topic. I have left messages with several and it’s been days with no response.
