As a baby, it was natural to express your emotions so freely. Over time, your caregivers chastised or frowned down on you for expressing your emotions. So, each time you had an experience, out of fear, you suppressed your emotions deep down into the pit of your stomach. From the age of seven or eight years old, you developed the habit of stuffing down your emotions deep in your body. After 10, 20, or 30 years of pushing down both pleasant and unpleasant emotions into your body out of habit, you lost touch with your emotions. You do not know what you feel anymore. You are not aware of your emotions anymore. Your heart feels hard. Your face is hard as stone. You are no longer free. Your creativity is bound. Your imagination is darkened. You need a friend or companion who will not chastise you, correct you, or advise you on anything. Instead, you need a companion who will open one's ears and heart attentively and be present with you if not physically, but virtually. I want to be your companion. I will not hurt you. I will ask questions that will help you reflect and open up your heart. I will not rush you. I will kindly, patiently, and respectfully listen to both the positive and negative experiences. I will kindly, patiently, and respectfully listen to both the pleasant and unpleasant emotions. Contact me... If you need compassionate and merciful ears, then I will be there. I will not judge you. I will "not" judge you as good or evil. I will "not" judge your thoughts nor emotions as good or evil. Instead, I will validate your emotions and thoughts. You are worthy of love and acceptance. So, if you need a friend or companion, contact me.

Welcome to the community. You are offering some wonderful support to people and have a good sense of how many of us started our lives as a child.
I read your bio and I have a concern that you mention chatting with people off site? Maybe I read that wrong. We don't encourage that for safety reasons. This is an anonymous site.
We don't judge here so it's good to see that written. Thank you for saying that.
I hope you find the support you need

Welcome to the forum. I would like to reinforce what Dolphin14 says about safety. It's always best to keep things in the open, on here.
Dolphin misunderstood my bio. I meant to say that there are people that I meet in my real life and there are others I meet in my virtual life.
