2024-09-06 at 4:10 PM UTCI legally changed my name because I wanted to choose my own name. Why would I let anyone here name me when I won't even let my parents?

What’s the price of a name change running these days? Just curious… if inflation hit the courts too. Lol
I didn't want to be named after a famous person, trauma from my mum screeching it up the stairs and I should be able to choose my own name.
It was just £25. Ordered deedpoll, got my psychologist to witness it during a session, sent photocopies to places. I first went to a solicitor and they said £140 but they never got back to me about booking an appointment. I think they didn't want me to do it. -

2024-09-06 at 4:37 PM UTCIf you're really asking me to ask everyone here to throw insults at me and think I'll actually do that then you're fucked in the head. That's some cult shit.

2024-09-06 at 4:38 PM UTCYou know what else cults do? Give you new names.

Originally posted by Kafka I don't accept this. It's a cult tactic to convince people to drop their ego and accept disrespect.
You take life way too srsly. Here I’ll go first since this profile doesn’t have a usertitle. -
2024-09-06 at 4:48 PM UTCCults often change members' names as a way to exert control and reinforce a new identity. Here are a few reasons why this practice is common:
1. **Identity Transformation**: Changing a name can symbolize a break from the past and the adoption of a new identity aligned with the cult's beliefs and values⁴.
2. **Control and Obedience**: It serves as a method of control, making members more obedient and dependent on the cult for their sense of self⁴.
3. **Group Cohesion**: New names can foster a sense of belonging and unity within the group, distinguishing members from outsiders².
4. **Psychological Manipulation**: This practice can be part of broader coercive techniques used to manipulate and control members, such as love bombing and sleep deprivation³.
It's a powerful tool for cult leaders to reshape members' identities and ensure loyalty to the group.
Is there anything else you're curious about regarding cults or other topics?
