changing one major storyline can completely alter a person's life. It's one reason people get stuck after the 1st storyline

people generally have to hit some form of bottom b4 they'll let go of a major story. I was going to die if I didn't change, & I knew it.

people hate cults who cut people off from family & friends, but it's also how Sadhu, Sannyasin, monks, hermits work.

Changing the reality you live in (your stories + identity) is really goddamn hard, and if others are reinforcing it, near impossible.

at a lesser level, this is 1 reason why people leave families and friends and the place they grow up, to be able to be someone else.

I don't know one person who is awakened who did not have some literally unbearable problem they didn't have to fix.

Everyone had some issue they could not handle. Rape/Abuse/horrible internal dialogue/illness/mental illness/whatever.

the situation was literally intolerable. They could not tolerate it. Something had to change. So something did.
