One way to notice you’re in high demand group: there’s a strong overarching narrative which everyone has to believe in, but only certain emotional reactions to that narrative are acceptable. If you don’t believe in the narrative, obviously you’re out of the group. but even if you believe in it with the wrong valence you are at risk of exile.
By making you mistrust your own emotions, the group programs you to externalize your locus of control. This has the added benefit of training members to gaslight each other and even themselves. instead of the leaders having to do it directly
