Why are you an ex-redpiller?

Experienced the real world a bit and noticed the damage I had done to others and myself. Sadly I had to analyze it after the fact, linking the beliefs that moved me to act the way I acted to the damage.

Now I just wish I could undo all of that, and that the people I hurt or disrespected were strong enough to brush it off.

because other redpillers just seemed to be angsty, ineffective, useless, racist, and without any idea of how the world works. A good chunk of them were trust funders that were bitter that their parents' money did not solve everything. I had enough life experience to know that those people would drag me down.

I also very quickly noticed the red pill was just about finding or inventing new reasons to be constantly pissed off.

Because it contrasts so much from the men’s self help groups of 20+ years ago. When you’ve been around these groups as long as I have you come to see how it went from actual self improvement and self help to this overt misogyny. Sure back then there were still issues within… but this iteration of male self help groups is extremely toxic.

Bc it kept triggering my borderline - being an RP wife/gf destroyed my sense of self.

Human beings are supposed to be disgusting, selfish, and violent via hands or mouth. I want to live and see how I FAFO

Can’t do it if you’re acting like a waifu bot

I broke down and my SO says I’m different now - I explained to him I’m growing up.

Because I was only really introduced to it through my ex and then I realized my ex was a delusional idiot.

I was drawn in by youtubers like armoured skeptic, Dr shaym, and milo yianopblahblah. I was always so sexist in school, until I realised "hey, doing this makes me really unpopular". Then I did something called "ncs" met loads of new people who didn't know about me being a twat, were all very nice to me, and I basically decided never to go back to what I had been, and I never did.

Realised how hypocritical the community was

I’m pre red pill. Reading sosuave 20 years ago.

There’s too much misogyny and conspiracy. Not a healthy mindset to have in life.

I was raised by someone with similar ideas to redpill.

It was fucking damaging. It's not good to raise children that way.

Yamureska · 2024-10-01T06:12:37+00:00

Because I smash disinformation, trolls and conspiracy theories. Redpillers seem to have overlap with Conspiracy theorists (Andrew Tate for example)

Because being alone bothered me. Which confused me because I moved out my mom's house at 14 and had no father figure so I'm already at a huge disadvantage in life, but I was always used to being alone and when I got into a relationship that lasted 4 years throughout highschool I was the happiest I've ever been, but being a "grown boy" and not having the knowledge to be a man was a key part in that relationship ending. I discovered red pill content after that while trying to date other women but they could never fill that void and i was just leading with lust. I was never a super attractive lover boy but I was never an incel, when I put in the effort I can get girls, attraction wise but can't keep them because of my character at the time. I followed the advice from all the popular YouTube red pill guys and I did sleep with some woman even while I was a broke bum and now that I'm financially stable it's crazy to think that i got the most sex when I was broke. But I always wanted a strong connection and I met this girl who was great but during the talking stage I got insecure as soon as she told me she was talking to other guys even while we were deep in the talking stage and I self sabotaged that and told myself no more because all I could think about is the worst things they ingrain in you. What got me out of it was the fear of loneliness, getting more exposed to women and their way of thinking, having common sense to know a lot of that was garbage to begin with, wanting to not become my father, and wanting to be a family oriented faithful man so I could show my siblings they don't have to repeat the same cycle of having multiple baby mothers, broke and making the worst decisions, and having vices/addictions or getting in the streets and gangbanging.

Redpill may can brought true statements that may can help you to see for true how the things are. But, their teachings on how to deal with it are shit as they teach you to adapt instead of leave it all behind and live happy with your own company.

AbsProgress2016 · 2024-10-10T05:42:34+00:00

Red Pill is still great in helping to redirect male energy from self-destruction to self-improvement. But need to avoid all the click-bait women-bashing maga conspiracy theory flat earth anti-vaxxer part of it. Amen
