Hello all! I am 20 years old, currently a sophomore in college, and I love to listen. It gives me insights on problems I might never have faced, and allows me to, hopefully, make somebody's day just a little bit brighter. Listening to others and helping them through their own misfortunes and tragedies always makes me feel like I'm doing my part in making the world a little less daunting.
I have always believed that, even when you think that nobody on earth could possibly understand whatever it is you are going through, good or bad, there is someone out there who either knows exactly what its like or knows how to help you get through it.
So, whenever I help a stranger on here, I imagine myself in their shoes. How would I feel if I started delving into my problems only for them to give me a condescending, judgmental response? Not so great.
For everyone reading this, I love to listen and help when I can, and I hope that when I need similar treatment, someone will be there.
