@Koninos not what i asked

how is a stoic going to help him deal

What did you ask?

Kh

@Sentient23 That’s off topic from the original discussion

Well, through facing the pain.

Wow

Very helpful to an undeveloped teen going through his first heavy emotional blow

Dear, you either face the pain or let the pain consume you.

Not really

The way the teen will face the pain is irrelevant to the current topic, but I must ask, what do you suggest the parent does?

you can face the pain while still displaying it

Displaying it is not necessary.

and release of emotion also helps

Yeah okay, these are ways to face the pain, but again you're assuming that stoicism is about bottling up the pain.

Why did he date her anyway. Wait until marriage, and let me as the father pick which Aryan it's going to be

No

But if you want to talk about the displaying of emotions, I'll let you know that not showing your feelings, builds you a stronger image. And with a stronger image, you become more confident.

He dated her because he liked her and thought she was a good fit for him

Displaying it can hold you back from facing it.

How is this different from bottling it up

Not displaying it can actually help some people. It depends on the individual, however.

You’re less likely to overcome pain if you face it by yourself

Stoicism doesn't require facing the pain by yourself.

Especially when it is involved in parenting, as I mentioned earlier.

But that what i said

How do you expect to face pain with someone else if you don’t show it

Showing it is not a necessity for facing pain lol

What's the inference point there?

Its not

> You’re less likely to overcome pain if you face it by yourself
@moira

You said it was
> How do you expect to face pain with someone else if you don’t show it

Individualism is not required in Stoicism.

Because > Stoicism doesn't require facing the pain by yourself.

@Koninos Also that goes against the definition of stoicism

What you found in Google isn't a correct or complete definition.

Not all definitions in Google are correct.

And yet again, many Stoics have found the display of pain in the attempt of the individual to face the pain, unnecessary.

But that depends on the person.

And here I come, saying that it should be involved in parenting, so more people get to face pain without displaying it.

Because the display of pain can hold you back from facing it.
