I used to feel extremely awkward on this site, but now I feel good about being a listener. It took some time, but hey, it was worth it. :)

I'm still trying to get the hang of everything as an intern and a listener. It can be a lot to handle but I'm really loving the impact we all make on people here :)

7 cups has been a wonderful addition to my life. I've always loved to listen but now I can be available to someone who needs to talk. There is such a wealth of information here to help me along on this journey, and so much human support. I am trying to find friends that will listen because it is such a good experience. Yay 7 cups!

I started out as a member as many others did. Soon after I realized I could use my story and what I have been through to help others. I love this site and all the good it is doing in people's lives!

Yes, I used to be very unsure of myself when I started out, very nervous to be a listener. Now I've grown more comfortable and sure of myself. I've learned a lot about people and how different the world really is. And even though the world is so different, people can be so similar when they're countries away. It's truly amazing to think about, and I love the idea of being able to help people.

@BLTmaster

I know what you mean BLT, I used to think if I turned to peer support, they would think I was a rubbish listener! I was totally wrong, because receiving peer support is building our foundations to become a better listener 😀 and equally offering support back👍

I've been here for a little while but still feel like I have a whole lot to learn. At times this website feels like a labyrinth
