I have been a 7 cups member and listener off and on since 2015. My recent experience as a member- I have attempted to connect with a competent listener for the last 2 months. The quality of the listeners has been appalling. I was bullied by one, who told me that if I was not senile to f***k myself. Many did not even respond to my issues at all. Finally found a great listener that encouraged further contact. We set up a time and she ghosted me. When I told her that I felt insignificant, and did not view the site as a safe place for vulnerable people, she blocked me. As a listener, I was in a month long relationship with a listener/ member who implied that she was in the act of suicide. I had to refer her on to a crisis site. This was very triggering for me. I had members that tried to engage is sexting. This is not a safe site for anyone who is in a vulnerable state. At best, you will get an untrained and unhelpful listener. At worst, you will get a bully that may cause you significant distress. Protect your mental health and avoid this site. The only good thing is the listener support feature, which is helpful after a difficult chat. But why expose yourself to this abuse in the first place? Run, don't walk, away.
