I feel way happier (in all senses) after quitting the toxic RP.

Happy to hear it, man! I’ve never actively consumed that content, but just all the RP messages on places like Reddit makes me feel demoralized. I’m pretty satisfied with where I am in life right now but RP will always tell you that you are not good enough or man enough or whatever tf. At this point when I hear anything from those dudes I think, “who the heck are you to be telling me about who I need to be or what makes me happy/successful?”

My partner and I were talking about this and she said it’s similar to the influencer shit she sees on social media (which she also chooses to actively block/ it follow). She’s a gorgeous, intelligent person but she says all that messaging she gets about what a woman is supposed to be or look like also negatively impacts her self-image and mental health. The amount of ads I see she gets on her Instagram for things like diet pills, plastic surgery, lip fillers, and laser hair removal is sad. She actively blocks/reports then and they come back.

When media/influencers/gurus make us feel insecure and not enough, that’s their chance to sell us what they are saying will make us enough and we’re more likely to buy if we believe them. Congrats on getting out!

I've actively avoided this kind of content and yes, it has done wonders for my mental health.

Good on you for getting out of there, keep it up! It's always heartwarming to this community to hear about someone getting out of that toxic place

Those fake gurus' business model is based around appealing and exploiting your sense of disillusionment, loneliness and desperation. They sell you on an idea of a 'perfect' lifestyle and harmful ideologies so they can make money from getting you to buy fraudulent and overpriced products

Those guys know nothing about treating other human beings with respect because they're more interested in exploiting people for their own gain rather than provide genuine advice out their own experiences on how to build good relationships with other people

Extreme views on anything is toxic and destructive to vulnerable people's mental health
