The more sophisticated cults train their members to be incredibly nice, even get a public reputation for being incredibly nice, always smiling, always cheerful.
If a cult has experience with theatre arts, they may train their subjects to tune you out without looking like zombies as they do it.
They may be tuning you out by visualizing their sheikh or baba while smiling at you, with luminous seemingly loving eyes as they do so.
Adroit use of radiant smiles and jokes to distract us can also be part of the repertoire.

They have possibly been told to "stay as the self" as they listen to your problems, which I'm told involves glazing over and not engaging with you in any way. Then they just report what you said to someone else. Such is the life of what Alexandra Stein calls a "deployable agent". I'm told they don't even think they're human anymore.
This makes sense within the doctrine of the group but, of course, what it mainly does is invalidate and devalue the already distressed individual. This is acceptable because the individual has been labeled as being "in their mind".
