CoVerse - Advice and Chat

I didn’t think I was going to like this app as much as I do. It surprisingly helped with a difficult personal problem. Total strangers gave good advice and support. Also what I like about the app is that you can respond back to anyone’s advice. Having a conversation with a total stranger was a little weird at first but it got easier. The conversations I had provided more advice, support and some even made me laugh. What made this so helpful for me was it provided a way for me to get out of my own head. Normally, I would have just let the problem ruminate over and over in my head. Even if you have family and close friends I think this app can still be helpful. If you ever have a problem that is just too embarrassing to share with family you can share it here.

This app has gotten me through some really rough times in my life. It’s given me the opportunity to connect with people going through similar times or people who have at one point been through a similar time. It doesn’t seem like it’s as popular now and probably on its way out. But even if this app ceases to exist, it will live forever in my memory.

Hey, so I really enjoy this app and the way it’s set up to provide anonymous help! I’ve really gotten a lot of good advice, but from some I haven’t. Recently, the majority of the time I ask a question, I get a lousy response. Usually when someone responds to my questions now, I just get “advice” that’s exactly what I ask but summed up. I’ll give a whole scenario, and they will just repeat back with what I asked as a statement, and then say something like “So no” . Is there anyway there can be a little forum or something of the sort on ways someone can respond with advice? Like maybe just an educational thing because I am convinced most people are there to ask for it, but not sure how to give it back. Maybe something that’s constructive and just gives the basics on how to give advice? Like, “When giving advice, answer the question thoroughly and explain your reasoning behind your response”. I know it sounds like an essay prompt, but what’s the good in answering advice with a yes or no without explaining why you feel that way? That just gives the person asking the question the person answering’s opinion, and not advice (unless someone is asking for an opinion). I’m aware that there are many different ways people ask questions on here, I’m just using the general yes or no response as an example. Sorry I wrote so much, I just thought perhaps my problem is being felt by others and that maybe if better advice was received many people would stick with the app!
