Redpill helped and saved many people out there. There's stories of otherwise hopeless bluepilled guys who went from being deluded and exploited to conquering themselves, their fears, new skills, new prospects, the iron in the gym. They stopped chasing the wrong dreams and wasting time and now are reaping the rewards.

But everyone here knows this can't be achieved without struggling against an old self, a lifetime of lies, the all-pervading fairy tale mentality when it comes to love. There's the pain, the anger and there's no return: people here learn how to embrace what at first feels like a burden and to channel all of this in their personal growth.

That's why i love posts that talk about "acceptance": just one word but still a pillar to this subreddit. We use the word "swallowing" meaning the full acceptance of the truths here spoken (sometimes we mean it literally, referring to the damsels).

And that's why today I'm talking about this side of swallowing the redpill. Let's say you accept hypergamy and the laws of attraction as a part of nature, let's say you're not stuck in the anger phase and you're on your way to achieve your goals, while experiencing a better treatment from the other sex as a bonus.

Given you have the discipline to push through and the wind in your sails, there's still this thing bothering you: family and friends all around you are still plugged.

This leaves you dealing with a new type of solitude: it's not just that you cannot be loved the way the former self believed you could, you're past that as you enjoy the fickle affection of women in your life, it comes, it goes; it's that you're set apart from the rest of them. Maybe your parents have been in a solid marriage for most of their lives, or you just heard from your happiest friends that they're getting married next season, and you realize you will never be able to share their view. You're... else.

It will come to bite you from time to time. I've been in a LTR for two years and I still am... Might be the last: who knows if when it comes to an end i'll feel like plating for the rest of my life. Anyway. My loving parents are into this girl more than I am. I can't blame them... She presents herself as a beautiful, caring, hard working librarian. She does the dishes and all. This morning they were delighted to say they were going to pick some tangerines from our tree and give them to me and my gf. As if we, as a couple, were something special to nurture. They think she's part of my future.

She'll eventually cheat or she is cheating now. She's chatting her orbiters or dreaming of Chad, who knows. No harsh feelings, it's nature. If she doesn't meet my requirements anymore or I find out she cheated, the door is open. I know this but everyone around me will be like: "i'm sorry! You seemed perfect together!/How could she do that!/Maybe she deserves a second chance."

You can catch a oneitis, be divorce-raped, witness your snow-white dove be gone and that's a lesson. Once you accept that AWALT, that women come and go, and other RP principles, you still have to face the fact that you're forever unplugged while your loved and close ones aren't. A slight feeling of solitude stems from that, you might not recognize it for what it is.

The rest is up to you. Stoicism teaches you to be strong. Many here covered better than me the notion that you should refrain from trying and shove the red pill down the throat of your loved ones, and the reasons why. Resist that urge. Be responsible, many of them don't even need it in the first place. My old parents, for an instance.

Tl;dr: once you accepted human/women's nature, you'll be left to deal with the fact that you were born in a bluepill society: your loved ones are plugged, there'll still be this red area in your life that will set you apart.
