Defeatist.

It can be both at times.
I think this is quite cringeworthy
>Inwardly, we ought to be different in all respects, but our exterior should conform to society
Yet this is very based
>Can you no longer see a road to freedom? It's right in front of you. You need only turn over your wrists.
Go read them yourself and make up your mind.

It's very good. There's a coherent worldview any many of the practices are still used by psychiatrists in CBT. The problem is it attracts a lot of idiots who love or hate it, and neither of them know what the hell they're talking about. There was a lot of bad scholarship in the 19th century and it carried over.

cringe and bluepilled

>>Inwardly, we ought to be different in all respects, but our exterior should conform to society
That’s based af though. Everything wrong with the word today is that we’re all the same conformist on the inside and different on the outside.

it's god-tier when combined with sociopathy

It's a very powerful tool combined with autism.
t. autist

Cock and ball torture?

Why are there three threads of stoicism ?

Go fuck yourself, you wannabe mod.

Pretty much it's just a technique to not care about anything so much that nothing hurts you. It's a philosophy for losers and corpses that are so afraid of getting hurt that they forsake all beauty and pleasure.

If you haven’t read any of it you will probably think it’s cringe, because you will think it’s defeatist like
If you have read it, you will think it’s decently based.

have read stoic works, and are absolutely correct. Epicurianism is much better, and even then not by much.

Epicurianism is much better than stoicism but it's too focused on utilitarian pleasure maximization. Pleasure and pain are not mutually exclusive and both are needed for a fulfilling life.

Stoicism is based
Neostoicism is cringe

stoicism is a pretty cringe philosophy, but cross-discipline usage of stoic ideas is pretty based.

I'm glad someone else on here gets it. Is there a name for that philosophical belief?

This. The suffering may get intense but you will get through all of it unscathed

Cringe atheist self help.

Stoicism helps me handle anxiety.

That's like saying being /fit/ is for losers because having muscles will make you tougher and that means you are actually weak.

paul was in regular correspondance with many stoics. Their tenets line up with christianity. It is a good philosophy. Just because it is not THE philosophy does not mean it is inherently bad.

Aurelius wasn't atheist though. He believed in gods.

>not care about anything
>atheist
>Defeatist

These are all verifiably wrong though
