Please reserve this post for people who currently believe in Q or used to believe but now no longer do.

How did you cope with finding out that q was a lie? What was the best way you found to make yourself feel better after the realization? How have you worked to move past it? Please share your stories so that the people know that they aren't alone.

Remember not to insult the Q followers, or Ex Q followers. That didn't help them or change their mind for 4 years, it won't start now.

I got on board with Q almost from the start. But, it didn't take long for me to have my doubts. The constant moving of goal posts, the lack of any meaningful arrest, the continued use of cryptic questions with no answers and, more than anything, the sometimes complete lack of reasoning and/or evidence by believers to arrive at 'conclusions.' In those instances, believers had lost touch with reality in my opinion. For instance, the release of children imprisoned in tunnels under NYC. No matter how well intentioned, two feet need to stay on the ground. Making up garbage and spreading it as fact was horrible. Hopium is a strong and addicting drug that is apparently hard to give up.

Welcome, thank you. Was there a particular goal post move that did it for you? Or was it a combination? How did the other qanons communicate with you after you stopped believing?

Multiple goal posts moving multiple times so it became a bit of a joke to watch. The justifications were especially wrenching to read, especially the ever-present 'optics' explanation which sufficed for anything and everything. Any pushback onto other anons, not qanons, was met with 'shill' or 'why are you here' and the like. Q followers mainly acted like if anyone was not inline with the group thought then it was a very personal attack on them. So childish that it didn't phase me but it was hard to watch arguably at least semi-intelligent people disrespect themselves for an unknown. I accepted lots of of good information from Q folks but it seemed like there was just as much if not more that was rightly thrown away as junk.

Well in a sense it was; even when people are polite, the idea that you've invested so much time, emotion, energy and belief into something that is wrong is a hard pill for anyone to swallow. I'm glad you made it, and hope your words can inspire others too.
