I found this place last July I think. So its essentially been a year that I've been on this place. While I'm glad for the eye opening lessons this subreddit has given me, I've had enough. The truth isn't healthy and it's changed me dramatically as a person.

Over the last few days I've read old messages with girlfriends from last April - September. The sudden change in my tune was so dramatic, you can pinpoint exactly which messages had been sent before and after finding this subreddit.

The point is, I found this when I was 16, and I am 17 right now. In all honesty, I do not think that the red pill applies very much at my age. I realised how much happier I was before finding this, how much more self loving I am as a person now. I've tried both worlds; the world that I was raised by and the real world that you showed me, and for now at least, I choose the former.

I'd find it ignorant to downvote this post due to the nature of it. I'd encourage everyone on here to choose what it is they want to do with their life and live it.

I'm sure I'll be back in a few years when TRP is relevant to people my age, but while many people on here say "i wish I knew this stuff when I was a teenager", the truth is you don't. And I know because I am one.

TRP teaches you to get the most utility out your life, and for now I will get most utility from still going to the gym and keeping my social status high like you guys have taught me, but without this subreddit in my life.

Thanks everyone
