Introducing the (new) New Member Guide!

 October 11th
...See more The Member Welcome Pack has served us well over the years, however, it's a bit long and can be difficult for members to ingest. Our Ambassador @Jenna created a fantastic guide that presents an overview of our platform and includes the most commonly requested information (here) [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M53Nm5-pbtxx2_jKfXYgYzo3NgXxjNfMwfzVSRC1rZg/edit?usp=sharing]. It's a quick, easy, straightforward and visually friendly read with links to all the appropriate areas. As a community, let's switch to using this as our primary onboarding resource. (Note: the Welcome Pack will remain an active document, and it's linked at the bottom of the new guide.) If you're just joining 7 Cups, I recommend bookmarking this helpful resource, and if everyone can start sharing it around, we can get this in rotation ASAP! Thank you all for collectively caring for our community!

New Listener, What brought you here?
by TPM
Last post
 4 hours ago
...See more Namaste, New Listener! I joined here 9 years ago. I have been assisting on and off, based on my self-care and growth cycles. I have learned to remember and ground myself because seeing someone in distress or need, could make me to want me do more than I can (or are allowed on this platform). Allowing any feeling of helplessness if it arise instead of contracting myself, helps. The feelings of distress dissipate. When I joined here, I was going through some of the life's downs, and found that some times, helping another helps me experience the strength I hold in myself. What about you New Listener? What has brought you here? ------------------------- For non-urgent talk, you (new/old listener) could leave me a message and I could listen to you depending on my availability. Look after yourself, newbie!
Re-Introducing Member Compassion Course

...See more Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well. This post is about - 7 Cups Compassion Course [https://www.7cups.com/forum/KitchenTable_133/SelfhelplearningwithLaura_743/7CUPSCOMPASSIONCOURSE_6809/1/] which was created by Laura. The course is for members only. Not for listeners! The goal of this course is to understand and know the basics of practicing compassion and help & support our members to have a compassionate experience in the group support chat rooms. This course allows you to foster healthy conversations and connections as well as be a compassionate, loving, supportive, and amazing member of the chat rooms and the community. Who can participate? Any member can take this quiz. Even if you are an experienced member, then also welcome to take part in it. Because we are all learning and practicing compassion. How can a member participate? * Once you have completed the course, please let us know in the comments of this post. * Also, tag any 3 members you know to invite them to take the quiz as well. * Your responses to the course will be graded and if you successfully passed it, you will receive, “Compassion Hero” badge. * If you didn’t pass, that’s okay. Feedback will be shared and then you can retake the course. Please remember that this course is designed to help you practice compassion and empathy for yourself and others. Because it is kindness that makes any place a better place to live in. Also, it will make you feel more comfortable, and well equipped to participate and be a wonderful participant in the group support chat rooms and forums. If you have any feedback to improve the course or any other ideas, please let us know in the comments of this thread. On that note, I invite you to take the compassion course here: https://tinyurl.com/4us8x8ue A big thank you to @vivelespatates for single-handedly managing this initiative for all these years! ------------------------- Edit: by ASilentObserver on 04/06/2022
Let's be friends💙

...See more Hi friends, I'm Fahd, 18 year old male, it's my third day here. English is my second language, though I'm pretty confident in myself with speaking it, whether on text or in voice, and Arabic is my mother tongue. I discovered this app looking for support from people, after I went through my second breakup with a narcissistic cheating partner. I talked to a few listeners, and one of them was able to help me feel better, more hopeful, and now I wish to make new long term friends. I wasn't ever the socializing type of person who posts on social media or things like that, but I find it a good point to heal from. I want long term friends, that share our journey of healing together, against the difficulties we may get in life. I play video games(Mostly story games, and casuals) , ps, and I don't mind on phones. Anime Reading (Although it's difficult to maintain the habit) I yap a lot about topics like raising children, relationships, general psychology stuff, and islam depending on the person whether its comfortable or not for them. I'd be happy making friends from all around the world, male or females! ***: fahuu_0 Peace my friends💙
Posting once a week until I'm truly happy with life: #1

...See more Hello  I just recently joined and had some pretty bad thoughts about myself and my current life situation. I enjoy art, writing, some sports,  and dabbling in whatever creative thing comes up. I also enjoy games here and there. And since this is my first post I thought it would be best here in the newbie hub. I have many issues with myself at the moment. So I decided it'd be best if I came here just to sort out how I feel and maybe connect with some people. Right now I want to change my life for the better and I feel like sharing at least some parts of my life will not only help me reflect on how I feel but also serve as something to look back on. Don't get it twisted though I don't view this site as a personal journal but more as a community I can be honest with. I don't usually act this open in real life. I'm not certain if I'll post every week and I'm not sure how long I will post for but I hope that this will be some type of push out of the slump I'm currently in. And yeah I'll probably still come back to the website now and then to speak or listen to the lovable community here. Have a good night and if it's not nighttime where you are then I bid you a good day! - Sunnylake 
Autism and relationship struggles

...See more Hello! My name on here is going to be Shark. I’m new to this app and i’m looking for other autistic individuals to share experiences with and give support and advice on social things. I’ve been having a hard time balancing and processing my own needs and those of my friends and it’s starting to cause a rift in my friendships that i thought were solid. I have always had a more difficult time in groups but usually any time my friends want to hang out it is in groups so i will find one person to stick to since switching between conversations or paying attention to many people at once is difficult. They have recently started to complain about more to the point of sending me long rants complaining about it and i am not sure how to get my views across. It’s not a nice change and it seemed very sudden to me so I don’t know how to manage it. Does anyone have any similar situations or ideas on how to deal with it?
Feeling Empty Inside

...See more Hey there fellow Forum Members! I'll cut to the chase to be honest, I've been feeling down lately with no sense of direction or purpose. I'm trying to manage College and whatnot but I'll be honest it isn't clicking, and as friends pointed out I may be depressed. I'm trying to get better but it just doesn't work. It's always the same self-loathing, empty joyless life. Nothing feels right and I feel like I'm disconnected from myself, that's my main reason for coming here, I'd like to get advice if you guys don't mind sharing. Thanks!
