You can't really eliminate your emotions, all you can do is be self aware and disciplined.
Exactly

Its like trying to control your heartbeat... you can influence it but you can't control it

But self awareness is key. If you don't know who you are or how you work you're destined to fail

I've been like this...this is nothing new. It's called not giving a fukk.
Not really. I have hinged much of my life coaching toward males using stoicism as the platform.

It's not as simple as "not giving a fukk", it's more of an absolute stickler for the very important things to actually give a fukk about. More specifically, tenents that don't require emotionalism, just an unyielding study, introspection, and adherence to. A code.

Without a code you are subject to persuasion, corruption, and living as someone's tool....is the premise. Like c00ns, they are opposites of stoic in every way.

become sociopaths brehs

Our late capitalist hyper consumerist unequal society already turns people into sociopaths. Plenty of cold men/women out there willing to fukk over anyone to "get a bag". Stoicism can help you retain your humanity in this demonic era

True. A lot of these answers seem uninformed and reactionary.

because in the context of american culture where we push senior citizens onto the streets to fend for themselves, don't see the or adhere to the problems male and female victims of sexual abuse face on a day to day basis, on top of the rising suicide rates

the last thing we need is to have people deluding themselves that sociopathy disguised as stoicism is a necessity

So maintaining a certain level of control over your emotions is considered sociopathic behavior? :dwillhuh:

Fighting or killing your brother over a street or becuz he wears a different color than you seems more out of pocket than that but I digress.

Why do people think stoicism means being guarded or emotionless.

It’s temperance and basically only worrying about what you can control.

Take those two women being harassed by the drunk cac lady. They didn’t flare their emotions out, start all that crying and yelling or “clapping back”. All they did was say “mmhmm” and let her tell on herself. It’s how you act under pressure


The whole “sociopathic” shyt is what bougie yuppie women say when they hear that word without reading Marcus Aurelius, which is funny because he was the biggest simp

It doesn’t mean lean on a wall in the corner with your arms crossed while your hair blows in the wind
