Leaving the redpill/stopping irrational anger towards women

Seeking Advice

I don’t think I have fallen deep into the incel/redpill pipeline but I have definitely been in those spaces and been influenced by that content online. Having deep insecurities as a young man and constantly seeing women target them online, and sometimes in real life, made me harbor anger and resentment. And the redpill and blackpill felt like an explanation of these issues to me, though I don’t believe in it fully. But I know that these feelings come from anger from self-hatred and dissatisfaction being taken out on people who I feel are responsible, but I’m aware that it’s stupid to generalize people and these feelings are irrational and developed from me being neurotic. And I know that it doesn’t represent most women, and that internal pattern recognition makes me latch onto these experiences. I don’t want to feel this way, and whenever I catch myself feeling an unconscious bias towards women, or see women say something online that reinforces my feelings, I rationalize my thoughts and try to be more mindful. One of my best friends is a woman and she’s given me a good perspective and advice. I think I’ve been improving but I want to completely cleanse these negative feelings. Also I try to avoid social media since my feeds are filled with posts that contribute to this, I only redownloaded Reddit to post this.
