1/ This users post is a terrifyingly good example of someone who has truly radicalized into QAnon. lets take a quick look at the signs of what he describes as "growing spiritually" and detaching from mainstream society. 
2/ First, the description of his radicalization process is very similar to a religious conversion in this case. From his post it is not only about being pilled as he's "been awake for 10 years". QAnon has given him a new religious experience in a way.
3/ Some key signs of what he is describing might be something you'd notice if someone you know if going a little too far down the rabbit hole. No longer interested in topics that they were passionate about. In this case the user is no longer into college football as he was before
4/ pulling out from mainstream social media use, this might be more difficult to notice as some ppl ebb and flow in the social media use. But in this case this person may appear to be online a lot but evidence of that would not be found on mainstream social media.
5/ This user claims to no longer be interested in ex, but we could break that down as no longer being interested in physical or intimate relationships. This break from emotional and physical bonds presents a type of emotional detachment that may be indicative of radicalization.
6/ Though this may be a trend found in multiple types of risky behaviors. in this instant the individual claims that his lack of interest is resultant from his belief in Q and how he now perceives the world. The change in world view is what may indicate radicalization
7/ The final point is how the user feels like a different person before he found Q, which may imply that Q has become his entire world.
8/ Now this person describes living in an affluent environment, and appears to have been educated based on his responses to posts. However, he has reshaped his socio-economic circumstances to fit the QAnon world view.
9/ One of the complaints he has is he can't talk to anyone because they believe he's insane. What is important in this is opening channels of communication maybe be a PVE angle that could be exploited
10/ The Christian angle is not unique in this case, though it does beg the question that for some this fall into a form of religious experience. This may indicate that in some cases, the presence of absence of religion in QAnon belief may signify the need for different approaches
11/ Now I used, may, possible, likely in all of these posts for a reason. Radicalization is a unique process to each individuals and should not be spoken of in absolute terms. especially with something as amorphous a QAnon.
