Topics
@Sarah : 我认为蒂尔·斯旺似乎最看重的是完全和毫不动摇的忠诚，这意味着永远不必听到她错了。这种对绝对忠诚的追求，使得她被一些人认为是邪教领袖。她对追随者的要求极高，不允许任何形式的质疑或批评，这导致了许多争议和负面评价。我经常会想，为什么会有人相信她呢？ @Sachi : 我喜欢权力，如果我是一个邪教头目，我会要求我的追随者经常大声称赞我的外貌。这听起来很荒谬，但实际上反映了邪教领袖对个人崇拜的病态需求。蒂尔·斯旺对忠诚的病态追求，实际上也是一种对个人权力的极度渴望。 @Sardeep : 大约一年前，我偶然看到了蒂尔的教义，我认为她非常棒，非常有趣。所以我开始观看她的所有视频，然后我决定要见她。现在看来，我当初的想法是多么的幼稚和可笑。

Teal Swan’s self-help empire is on the rise, and so is the backlash to some of her most controversial techniques. Teal fights back against her critics, releasing long rebuttals and detailed explainers on YouTube. She even invites a film crew to document her life and hires a private investigator to prove she’s got nothing to hide. But when the findings come out, things will get even more complicated.
