    Personally i think they need to teach cult awareness in schools. Cults will never announce that they are, and yes you can end up in one unaware until it is too late. I believe making people aware and recognising the signs could benefit society greatly.

    A friend of mine who suffered from severe depression all of her life got in her car one day and ran away just to get away from her nonexistent life (no husband or kids or joy in her heart.) I was one of her only true friends except for those in her church. She called me out of the blue a month later begging me to come get her. She was halfway across the country. She had fallen into a cult and they wouldn't let her leave. When I and four of my friends got there, it was fascinating in a bad way how the brainwashed members were so wholeheartedly obsessed with their leader and his rules and could not understand why she would want to leave. Thankfully, we got her away with resistance but without any major confrontations.

    It's really sad that police doesn't do anything about stalking cases which could prevent plenty of devastating crimes including murders. Maybe they don't have evidence or anything to arrest a stalker or something but laws should be made. Not only children and women but also men get stalked and it's really bad.

      You pretty much stated why they don't do anything: lack of evidence. A person's word is meaningless unless there is something physical to back it up, remember: people do LIE about the actions of others. Its why police have to thread carefully when it involves certain incidents, otherwise, they can be sued and we sadly live in a world where the courts are more than happy to pay out hundreds of millions - even if - the police didn't do anything illegal.

    I grew up in a cult (none of the ones mentioned here) and honestly, it is so hard to leave. You truly believe that these people are speaking the truth. I remember being afraid because I had been taught my entire life that there was no such thing as happiness outside of the cult. Since I’ve left, I’ve been happier than I ever thought possible. But I don’t think there is ever a moment where you say ‘oh yeah, I’m in a cult’. I would think those that leave would do it because they can’t take it anymore.

      Most of the time, it can be attributed to a concept called "The Frog in the Water". If you don't know, you are able to cook a frog without killing it, but just placing it in a pot of room temperature water, and gradually turn up the flame. The frog does not notice that it is boiling to death, and so does not hop out of the water. That is how a lot of cults operate. They start as harmless, and even beneficial to the people ensnared in them, but they gradually get worse and worse over time, and use clever deception tactics to justify their sick abuse to the following they've obtained. If somebody trapped in one of those cults saw the terrible things a lot of cults do from a mile out, they would be able to identify that as wrong. However, since they have only experienced gradual change, they aren't able to notice that something is wrong.

    I had a simliar situation earlier this year but it wasn't a cult setting. It was a "friend" that came out of nowhere into our group, took it over and proceeded to keep select of us close to them, while keeping us up 2-4hrs of sleep every day for 10 months. She lied, manipulated and traumatized each and every one of us until we couldn't see straight anymore. It all sounded insane, but we didn't know because our exhaustion and brainwashing kept us from seeing it yet. But one day, she tried to seperate me and my best friend, trying to make it out like some shadey shit was going on. But when I confronted the friend, things weren't adding up. We sat down while she was "away" and she couldn't stop us or seperate us and compared notes and realized she was manipulating everything for the whole 10 months.
    I confronted over 20 others, they all had similar things, but entirely different events that proved our accounts were all lies. So we cut her tf out. She's now doing her crap to some other group but I wasn't able to communicate with the new group to tell them to avoid her. They've already fallen into the fold so it's only a matter of time before they might figure it out as we have.
    Lack of sleep is a real big deal, everyone. You get stressed out enough ontop of the lack of sleep, you're a putty ready for molding. It's absolutely terrifying.

    The reason why cults work, is because if someone lacks self love or other things mentally, the cult will provide it for a price and that price is obedience to the cult.
    Basically it is narcissistic leaders of the cult that need to be worshiped - because they lack self love too.

      I also relate about not wanting community. We don't always need to be in a focused group to feel welcome in life.
      Wanting community is a complex form of wanting social interactions. Perhaps some people need religious groups to get by with life and have a reason to have order, while others make do with just walking outside and talking to family and cashiers/servers, or even just commenting in socmed.
      (I even tried to join a community just to see if befriending people rly would benefit me as friends had suggested, and I totally hated it, almost got roped in by a Japanese love cult, and then Jehova's Witness in the same year.)

    Every time I run into a person talking about, ‘twin flames’ I get infinitely irritated. They try to make it sound romantic- one soul two bodies. But think about it…
    What if you had this belief and the relationship didn’t work out? What if you found out your ‘twin flame’ was a horrible criminal who has committed several heinous acts? That’s YOUR soul. That evil is part of you. At least, that’s the logical conclusion.
    I’m not saying the idea is completely nonsense because we cannot disprove a metaphysical existence, but it’s a very useful idea for narcissists, psychopaths, and generally disturbed people. Convince a vulnerable person they have that soul connection with you, and you can probably get them to do about anything.
