Honestly my advice is to avoid the population at large as much as possible. Popular culture is bad for mental health.

Start studying, it is never too late to UNLEARN or LEARN. Step one is realizing YOU are now in control to improve things.

It helps knowing you’re not the only one, IMO. Look up people who have left high-control communities (would have been called cults in decades past). People can come out of some pretty horrific backgrounds and with hard work, intention, and support, live good lives.
