You shouldn't keep emotions under wraps
bottling up emotions is one of the worse things you can do
stoicism isnt about "bottling up emotions" lmao
^
that is exactly what it is, hiding your emotions
Stoicism is about facing and enduring pain.
Which is unhealthy
How?
everyone deals with pain differently
Obviously.
But Stoicism is the best way to deal with pain, in my opinion.
maybe in your case
Kinda right not everyone does
Stoicism might seem unhealthy at an X moment, but when in a Y moment, you face pain again, you're stronger, you can face the pain more easily and not let it affect you, so in the long-term, it's healthy. @moira
Not exactly
everyone deals with pain differently
some people deal with it better by talking to people
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
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
