How to tell if a person is in a cult?
AI Overview
Signs someone is in a cult include isolation from loved ones, excessive loyalty/fear of the leader, authoritarian control with no questions allowed, a black-and-white worldview (leader/group is always right), financial/emotional exploitation, and demonizing outsiders, making leaving feel impossible or evil. They often experience a sudden shift in values, limited outside thinking, and an unreasonable fear of the outside world, seeing it as catastrophic or evil.
