When my breakup came into the conversation, they started telling me about it. Having only heard of it in passing, I couldn't believe it was becoming normal to talk about it in real life.

One of them even sent me this video to watch.

Honestly, it's terrifying to realize how easy it is to be tricked into this line of thinking. They prey on your weaknesses and tell you what you want to hear. They try to confirm that this failed because of that and the charisma of these guys believing in it makes it sound authentic.

If you're autistic, like me, it's even easier to be subdued. You have a breakup, are at a low point, and want answers. Well, clearly this sounds right so it must be true, right?

I'm honestly glad I not only had my doubts but also discovered this subreddit so I wouldn't fall into this trap.
