TLDR: Viewing the world as it truly is, and understanding people for what they are is an emotionally damaging process. Your innocence is replaced - sometimes with depression, sometimes with anxiety. The lucky ones have it replaced with anger.
Body:
Swallowing the pill is a one way process. Most of us want to hold onto BP beliefs - we WANT to think that by nature, people aren't awful, or that maybe, just maybe, we will be able to relax and enjoy life - without having to constantly hold frame, without having to constantly cut cancerous people out of our lives, and without the burden of watching our BP friends fall prey to situations we completely predict and understand.
The unplugging process is one way. Logical thinking dictates that we will look for things to prove that our viewpoint is incorrect. However, we see TRP tenets proved correct over and over again. We see it in ourselves, we see it in fiction and nonfiction, and most importantly, we see it in people we care about or love (or want to fuck).
There is a sub called exredpill, which is a safe harbor for redpill survivors. I've searched it for legitimate challenges to my beliefs. MAYBE I'm wrong! Guess what - it's a cess pool of BP thinking, strawman arguments, mental breakdowns, and complete lack of accountability.
The topic of my post is anger. It's no secret that TRP is full of angry males. Once we learn how simple females are - they act 95% or more on feelings alone - we are enraged and disgusted. The curtain has been removed and these mysterious amazing creatures turn out to be nothing more than feels addicts.
Eventually, this rage fades. We learn the rules. We know how to win the game. We get to have FUN. Women become an accessory to our awesome life - they're simply a watch.
The rage may be gone, but for some reason, the anger lingers. Anger is an emotion that is a call to action. Anger tells us something is wrong. Anger allows us to think with our head, not our dick or our heart. As we apply the critical thinking skills that initially were honed towards women to the rest of our lives, we find many, many things to be angry about.
The blend of anger and confidence (both resulting from the process TRP teaches) on tap is powerful. Intimidation shit tests are always passed, especially in the subtle forms that happen among coworkers or clients. AMOG becomes a joke. Women are far more intuitive to these things and will shit test you far less, sometimes surprising you with comfort tests.
Anger is the gift of rational thinking. Anger is the result of the psychological trauma of viewing how ugly the world is. Anger is a LOT better than the alternative responses to this trauma, which are depression, anxiety, addiction, or complacency. Anger allows you to respond appropriately, as opposed to emotionally. Anger will make your frame unbreakable.
Anger is your constant friend and companion. Embrace that shit.
Lessons Learned: Anger is a natural consequence of accepting reality for what it is. Anger reinforces your frame, constantly reforging and resharpening your social skills. The 'anger phase' might be inappropriately labeled and could be more literally described as a 'rage phase'.
