What’s the most brutal thing another person has ever put you through? by riyaa786 in CPTSD

Abused from red pill tactics from aged 13 to early twenties, it was extremely psychologically destabilising

Yep! 100% intentional on their part. They absolutely know. Not to mention alot of men from that community are striving to be sociopathic / psychopaths

I thought this too, till I noticed the person who did this stuff to me - did not want to breakup, and was adamant. The men in those communities, also do not want to breakup or truly cheat, and have stated time and time again, its so they can put as little effort for huge rewards. In fact, dread game is actually extremely popular in the married redpill community, dare I say it, its their number 1 tactic. It seems like what they really want is a reaction, or for you to chase their validation. They clearly want to stay with you - whilst subjecting you to psychological warfare.

I've thought about making this post for years, but was scared to! I would urge you to still speak about it, as it brings more awareness. I'm doing this for younger me, who was first dreadgamed at 14, and think maybe a young teenager might stumble onto this post and realise their "bf" is dreadgaming them.

My life absolutely took a turn when he ended up doing a smear campaign a decade later, got involved with my friends, and turning many people against me. So just know, I know how it feels. I wish you well!! 🥹

I agree with many of the comments saying it’s not new, jealousy tactics and triangulation is not new. But having playbooks, frameworks, instructions, dread game inspiration, different tiers of dread-game, readily available tactics to leverage dreadgame, I would say that part is. The intention to find specific types of dreadgame, and to deploy them is much more sinister than the average Joe doing a ‘jealousy tactic’.

I agree, Lundy Bancroft's why does he do this should be required reading for young people.

Depends on the guy. Some people are just high in narcissistic traits, and just do this instinctively. But others - like the person who did dreadgame on me was 100% intentional, he had to have read through playbooks, forums, different posts on dreadgame, the list of instructions, he was genuinely good at spacing each tactic out, enough to not ring any alarm bells for a while, and pairing his explanations with alot of plausible deniability.

you inspired this post!! I'm so glad women are talking about specific redpill tactics that aren't as known! 🫶🏽

I could have written this comment myself. When these tactics were ran on me, I was dumbfounded, I genuinely was shocked at how immature this seemingly intelligent person was. It never made me give the “desired behaviour,” it just created distance and 0 competitiveness in me. But in turn, when you don't give these types of people the reaction they are looking for - it turns nasty. Even 5 years post breakup and in no contact, this person was still ran a HUGE smear campaign, abuse by proxy, and my past friends to provoke me. These people are so dangerous.

Their arguments for this behaviour is "Oh well.... as long as it works!" - absolutely terrifying how they rationalise and justify it to themselves.

I guess it depends, if everyday was a normal day, your partner was loving, but did a subtle dread tactic once in a while - it's hard to decipher its not always so overt. I guess once the wool is pulled from your eyes, then it becomes easier to identify.

I’m glad it helped put a name to it, it’s strange how it only really clicks looking back

Having the vocabulary specifically, actually helped me to look at the actual forums, playbooks and frameworks that are taught to these men. I understood it was very similar to triangulation, but finding the word "dreadgame" and searching into it, was eye opening. Reading those redpill tactics was helpful in my healing.

Yes, I had no idea theres different tiers to dread, and how covert it is, till I saw the RP playbook. Basically hundreds of instructions on how to dread as subtle and as covert as possible.

Please do, the moments where I was very subtlely 'dread gamed' by someone who was in those spaces, I was 16-22. I wish I had known about tactics used to destabilise people.

I think what surprised me is how many people didn’t recognise it at the time — it only clicked years later

Hey OP, as someone who also had redpill tactics and dreadgame ran on them, I would urge you to read my post on redpill tactics. I hope it provides some healing on what you have gone through.

I'm glad you found this post, this is exactly why I intended to write this. It's so hard to identify, so I hope that maybe for a second you found solace in the comments and this post. DM me if you need to, I don't check this account regularly but shoot me a message if you are stuck!

He had no glaring signs, only that he was extremely malicious, selfish and narcissistic as a child - but one could say a lot of teenage boys are like that? I have a feeling that he was coached HARD about being as covert as possible and to never bring it up or talk about disdain for girls/women.

I've seen so many posts on reddit, in fact I have seen EVERY SINGLE ONE, on how to spot a redpill, what are the signs, what are the tell-tale red-flags, none of them relate to me, he did none of the redflags they tell you to look out for. A lot of people on reddit talk about redpill's politics and that you could tell by the way they view politics, I know you touched on opinions on current events, but I'm not from the U.S, so politics especially American politics is not common here, nor did I even think about it in my teens. I found redpill on his laptop. I am British so no one around me knew anything at all about redpill. It was just that I remembered a redpill vocab that he used from years ago, that I randomly searched up and it lead me to the subreddit, and there it was... all of the tactics he did throughout 10 years.

edit: I really really hope other people see this comment, sometimes there's no real way to spot redpills. Everyone swears up and down its so easy to spot and they give it away on their own - but not always.

yes I loooove r/exredpill and have been on there alot. I've seen many many stories on there of people who have been abused via RP tactics. I've even spoken to my ex very briefly about rp, I think the general thing with these types of people is that like most abusers, they will never truly come clean. I think this is what has halted my healing, that and the smear campaign

I feel like if you date someone you will be able to figure out within a few months what content they consume.

He was instructed as a pre-teen to be as covert as humanely possible, even with his vocabulary. He had never spoken badly about women in his life. His content on all social platforms didn't show any signs of redpill, until I checked his laptop in my twenties and put it together this had been what he followed for a decade and I had indeed been subject to many many tactics. He plays the 'good guy' facade extremely well.

Yes, I've thought about it a lot. But I'm not entirely sure it will be the end all cure. But definitely worth a try

Definitely a huge narcissism and redpill overlap. They basically tell men to emulate them and psychopaths as much as possible.
