some people deal with it better by shutting themselves in

it really depends on the person

if you can hide your emotions and pain then good for you

but not everyone is like you

Yeah okay, nobody's saying that everyone should be a Stoic.

But Stoicism should be involved with parenting, since the child is taught how to deal with pain.

you literally promoted it for parenting

Yes.

when dealing with pain in a child, it is best to sit them down and talk with them about it

now of course they shouldn't be a crybaby

but you can't just tell them to lock it all up

Children, when they are young, don't know how to control their emotions. Stoicism, in my opinion, is the best way to control your emotions, because of how it can help you in the long-term.

Stoicism isn't about bottling emotions.

It's about facing them.

there are multiple ways to face them

then just locking them up

Again stop repeating that

You're strawmaning stoicism

it's about dealing with them in a healthy and/or productive way

like when you're angry you can either punch the guy that pissed you off in the face

Stop repeating its "locking up emotions" when we've already said 3 times that that's not what it is

or fix problem

No no, Stoicism does not involve locking up emotions.

think of walking the dog when he's whining instead of locking him up in a cage

The lack of display of pain is a product of facing pain, which comes naturally. Thus it's not forced.

@Ronin Bad example, ngl

it is literally keeping your emotions to yourself

this

you are locking them to yourself

a stoic person is still angry but doesn't directly act on it

also your wrong you can face pain while displaying it

No, that comes through facing the pain, it comes naturally. It's not forced, it comes naturally.

Stop saying that Stoicism is about bottling emotions, That's clearly not what Stoicism is about.

that is not what I said that time

> you are locking them to yourself
@moira

hold brb

👍

ok am back

anyway

by the definition of stoicism, "The endurance of pain or hardship without the display of emotions and without complain"

that sounds exactly like bottling them up
